my all star | ladera ranch child photographer

My LUCKY kid had an really cool opportunity to play in an exhibition game at the MLB All Star FanFest last weekend with his Challenger baseball team from the Ladera Ranch Little League .  Collin does not like having his picture taken, but I really wanted to document this experience despite that.  So being the good mom that I am, I bribed him… with money and a trip to Disneyland.  Maybe if I paid him more than a dollar, I could’ve gotten a smile.  I’ll just call this his game face (even though it’s actually his “mom, you said just one picture, but you’ve taken eight already” face).

Unfortunately, I wasn’t in the greatest spot to get pictures during the game but this was one of those moments where I snapped a few images and then enjoyed watching him play and cheering with my family (plus, Dad got it on video so I knew we were covered).  The game was great – not only did they have an awesome announcer calling the play-by-play, but they also showed the game on the jumbotron!  In one of the images above, you can see Collin crossing home plate.

I hope you are all enjoying your summer and staying cool now that the heat is here! 
And a bit of business… I am currently booking sessions for August and September, so if you are thinking about a summer session – whether that includes the beach, the pool, or even popsicles, contact me soon!

This wee little one made his debut into the world five weeks before he was scheduled to arrive.  He couldn’t wait to be here and now he is healthy, happy, and home.  Spending the afternoon with this little sweetie was definitely the highlight of my week!  He’s gorgeous!  Don’t you agree?

I love newborn baby feet and all their little creases. They are so tiny in mommy’s hand!  And I love that Baby C would sneak in those sweet newborn smiles every now and then.  I love being able to capture them.

 Baby C slept most of his session and I’m so happy that he decided to wake up for a little bit and check out what was going on.  If he didn’t, I would have never seen how beautiful his eyes are.  They are stunning… especially in the light.

 Thank you V family for welcoming me into your home to photograph your beautiful son. It was an honor to meet your family and spend the afternoon with you!

happy 4th of july! | ladera ranch photographer

There are so many reasons why I love living in Ladera Ranch and one of them are community events such as these…
our hometown 4th of July parade.  Decorated bicycles, children in wagons, happy pets, local community groups, families and neighbors walking the parade route together… it was wonderful.  I had the honor of being the photographer for the event this morning and enjoyed taking part in this special day.  Here are a few images!

I am excited to watch the 4th of July fireworks here in Ladera tonight (we haven’t missed them since we moved here 4 years ago)!  It’s going to be the biggest and best show yet… Ladera Ranch’s 10 year anniversary celebration!
