Ciani | San Juan Capistrano California Family Photographer

I am California dreaming most every day and while I may not be alone in these daydreams, thankfully I get to soak in photographs from different cities there. On top of that I got to capture memories for friends in some of the pretty places in Southern California that they can now soak in anytime they may miss that California sunshine.
The Ciani’s will forever be more than just friends to me. Jennifer was one of my very first friends I made when I moved back to California in 2008. We bonded on a love of Oklahoma, surprisingly, as well as a love of designing and creating. This girl just looks at a blank space but sees the magic that it can be. It really is a beautiful talent of hers. Jennifer has had a bumpy ride in life, like most I’m sure, and she has created a company for all those like her. My Missing Piece is where you can find keepsakes to hold your loved ones who no longer with you, close by.

Can you just look at these beautiful little faces for a minute. Derrick and Jennifer are sure lucky to be able to see their sweet smiles daily. These ladies have always been such good little models for me too, for her though well that is a different story. I would photograph them every day if they were near by. But alas life has us miles and miles apart.
Jennifer thank you for loving me through all that life has thrown at me, and thank you for being such a bright light in this world. You are beautiful inside and out and I don’t tell you often enough how lucky I feel to have you as a friend!
