I photographed Crystie and Mike ’s wedding a few years ago at the Bowers Museum. They must have liked their pictures because they keep coming back for more photos! Their daughter Emmie keeps getting cuter and cuter every single time. I photographed her just a few days she was born, so awesome (check out the pictures here). Well here they all are again, looking as good as ever in Huntington Beach for a family photo shoot . . .




Thanks for coming back, see you guys next year!!

I photographed Mike and Crystie’s wedding a couple years back at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. You know who to call when the family starts growing!! Yeah!! Welcome little Emmie to the world . . . .










I wrote a BLOG once about the family pets who like to watch me work. Click here to view. Anyhow, while they are watching me I like to turn the tables on them and point my camera their way. They become “innocent bystanders. . .”

Thanks for inviting me over. See you guys in a few months.

We are ALREADY back with little bubba Cameron! He is a very quiet and happy little fellow who has most recently learned to sit upright and also roll over sideways. . .


See how close Hoffmann can get with his 2.0 lens, hahaha . . .



Way to go Cameron!! You are a champion!!

We are back with the beautiful Aragon family in San Diego! I have been photographing their family for 2 years, mostly their daughter Lourdes Jules. This time it’s for their NEW addition – GRACE! Pretty exciting!! Once again, I was invited to the hospital on the first day of this precious life . . .

Big sister LJ wanted to spend every moment holding her new little sis . . .

The best pictures of the day came when these two were snuggling . . .

Private moment with Daddy . . .

Family picture! . . .

Thank you for allowing me to document your very special lives. See you soon!

More Orange County baby pictures! Hello world! Meet baby William, 1 day old!

SO beautiful!!

Does he have Daddy’s ear?

I love photographing Cooper! This is my 3rd session with him (he is 9 months now) and he is ALL smiles. He loves to sing and make all kinds of noises, so fun! . . .

Surprisingly, he also has a new way of getting around. Mom says he is in transition between walk and crawl . . .

I love this next picture! Even though you can’t see Cooper’s smile, you KNOW it’s there . . .

Oooh, a serious moment . . .

Cooper has an amazing bond with his Dad. In most of the pictures where Coop is laughing, it is because Dad is singing something like, “Gulp Gulp goes the little green frog!” Or, you can just hang him upside down . . .

See you in 3 months Cooper. I can’t wait!

I received an e-mail from Haruko that the birth of baby Kai was about to happen. In a flash, Hoffmann is at the hospital to document the miracle! . . .


Pictures speak louder than words when it comes to newborn babies. . .


Dad making time with baby Kai . . .

I originally photographed Cameron Hayes when he was only two days old!! Click here to see those amazing photos. I stopped by the Cox home recently to keep the photographic journal going on Cameron. He had put on a few healthy pounds and was feeling extremely relaxed. You can see from this first image that he very clearly remembered me from 3 months ago . . .

But after that brief initial moment Cameron was off in his own world again, as content as could be. These next two images you see he decided to have a conversation with his buddy . . .



A little creative family photo . . .

See you at 6 months!!
