Murrieta Family Photography | The Morace Family

The Morace’s are great friends and it’s always a blast to shoot their family…well – photograph them :)

 

One of their sons, Jayden (young brown curly hair),  has autism and it’s so much fun to work with him – he started off not wanting to take pics at all….I have such a heart for this young one and look forward to taking his picture – I know it’s going to be work because he “tries” to act like it’s not fun….then we warm up to each other  – Troy showed him something on his phone which will remain a secret :)  then I gave him my iPhone and let him play with Talking Tom…If you don’t have talking Tom –it’s worth the free download –it’s a RIOT!  You will notice he has my phone in many pictures ;)

 

Tom cracked him up the entire time!  His daddy is pretty funny too and had all the boys laughing…They were sitting here waiting for me to take pics of Kaylee– I turned around and took this….I think I had to call one of them over but how cute that they were all huddled up anyway?

 

I just love Jayden’s face in the black and white – that might be before we let him have my phone!          

    

Dominic was sad to miss school!  How does she get kids like that – I had Nanno begging me to go with me on this photo shoot!

         

I love little hands and big hands – Dominic snuggled with Jackson a lot –it was soooo cute!  I didn’t set these up.

 

Dylan is in my daughter Dani’s class – he’s a DOLL – can you say that about boys?   And yes, they are all really this cute!

  

I love Kaylee – she was willing to take pics anywhere and did an awesome job….She plays with Stephanie a lot at baseball games…so so so sweet.

 

Jayden and I had a great time – he is my buddy.

         

Jackson brought a pocketful of toys – he lined them up places and took great care of them.  when Nicole was standing in the doorway he walked up to her, took her hand, and started smiling at me!  He is as awesome as the rest of them.

         

Jack’s mom plays a kissing game with him – he thinks it’s so funny – i think she tries to get a kiss and he gets away or vice versa but all I know is it cracked him up!        

     

           

 

It’s awesome to watch this family interact.  They are all sweet to each other and so so kind.   I think that Jayden’s autism has been a gift to them in SO many ways and I know they would affirm that.  I consider it a gift to me to watch this family.   I just love them.  They have an older daughter that lives out of town and couldn’t make it :(  hopefully next time…
