Fine art family photography in Malibu by the Why We Love
These gorgeous, golden hour photos of Erin and Courtney De Jauregui and their sweet daughter Avi are true treasures. Kevin and Danielle of The Why We Love captured so much of the pure spirit of this young family, and the film at the end is something we certainly wish we had.
Here’s a bit about the shoot from Danielle:
“We were beyond thrilled when Courtney and Erin, two of our own crazy talented photographer friends, asked us to do a family session in both still and motion with them and their sweet daughter Avellana (or as we affectionately know her, Avi). Avi turned 1 this past spring and we can only imagine what an amazing stage in this young family’s life it must be. In the short time that we spent together we were witness to some of the sweetest moments. We watched as they laughed together, played together, loved on each other, and simply existed in those few hours for no other reason than to just be together. These images and this film were a joy and honor to create for two artists that we admire so much.”
Naturally an entire family of deer paid them a visit.
Remember Erin’s amazing polaroid project we posted a few months ago? Look like from the above photo that he’s still going strong!
This is for sure the photo of her mama that Avi is going to look back on as a grown woman, and think “Wow, my mom was so cool and young.”.
And for those of you, like us, who missed out on having a Super 8 film shot at your wedding… time to book a family film. We want!
Thank you so much for sharing, Kevin and Danielle! Your work is beautiful and timeless, and any family lucky enough to book you will have such amazing treasures in their family albums.

We are just in awe over our family photos! As photographers it is hard to let ourselves be in front of the camera but we know the value of cherished photographs so Danielle and Kevin gave us just that. Thank you for posting their wonderful work!
