One of the best things about coming to California is visiting with all of my husband’s relatives in Ventura and Ojai. There is so much family around and everyone is so loving and down to earth it is impossible not to have a great time. We don’t get to visit with them often, however, so it was important for me to get some great shots of everyone together on this visit. Such a lovely day outside under the live oaks eating egg salad and grilled cheese with homemade oatmeal cookies and kisses from all of the little ones – and all of the big ones too.
