Rolando, Sande, Sarah and Jordan - Mia Family Portraits

Well it's about time I did family portraits for my brother's family and what a better time than the holidays! Rolando, Sande, Sarah and Jordan are the Santa Barbara Mias and I also have another brother and his family on the east coast in Baltimore. It means so much to me to have family so close, I don't know what I'd do without them.

I can't even say enough about my nieces and nephews. Rachel and Ben are on the east coast and Sarah and Jordan are close enough to take out and spoil. I love these kids more than anything!

Here are some favs!
