hello/goodbye… month of june | orange county children photographer

Today is the last day of June and I didn’t want the month to sneak by without a single post, so here it is!
Yes, my blog has been quiet this month but I’m still here (and I’ve been super busy with life and with work).

I have lots of fun things to share with my blog readers so get ready to see A LOT more posts in July.
I’ve got sneak peeks from recent sessions to share, beautiful products to show off, another day of  playdate mini sessions
to announce, and fun projects I’ve been working on.  Come back often because you won’t want to miss a thing!

And since a post isn’t complete without a picture…

So sweet she was during a recent session with her beautiful mama!

I’m so excited to share more images and recent sessions so stay tuned friends, my next post (coming tomorrow) will be a sneak peek.  By the way, Cindy Chen Photography is on Twitter!  Come on over and follow my tweets!

Fifteen kids… one photoshoot… yes blog friends, fifteen… and it was AMAZING!
 
I recently spent the afternoon with some of the beautiful kids at Mission Montessori Academy, south Orange County’s newest preschool which opened it’s doors earlier this month in Mission Viejo (off of Crown Valley Parkway, across from Mission Hospital).   Their wonderful and sweet director Sara contacted me about images for their website and I was thrilled.  Being a children’s lifestyle photographer, my joy is capturing real moments of childhood.  Watching children discover the world and community around them is a huge part of that.  I LOVED seeing the kids learning, playing together, and having fun.  It was great!

Here is a peek inside Mission Montessori’s gorgeous facility (lots of space, just under 8000 sq ft with lots of big windows that let in a ton of natural sunlight  - a photographer’s dream!) and of a few of the super cute kids I got to photograph that day.

More on the inside…

 And outside on the playground.
And by the way, this playground rocks!  It comes complete with toddler area, sand boxes, a HUGE play structure,
cool log cabin/fort, and even a bike/trike track!

 Mission Montessori serves children from 3 months to 6 years of age and offers both part-time and full-time programs. 
For more information about the school, the montessori philosophy, their teachers, or their programs, please visit their website.   They are also offering fantastic Parent and Me classes (yoga and Mandarin are just two of them) and have a very exciting Summer Schedule… south OC moms and dads, you need to check this school out!

Want to see more images from the session?  You can find them throughout their website and on their facebook page too!

little girl | orange county child photographer

My baby girl turned three years old today.  Sniff… time is passing much too fast.   It really doesn’t seem that long ago that I had a tiny baby in my arms and then **poof**…  that baby was replaced with this little girl.

It has been such a joy watching her grow and experience life and seeing her little Taurean personality develop.  She loves babies and princesses, talking on the phone and chocolate… can’t forget the sweets.  She knows what she wants and what she likes too (our coversation from today at the World of Disney store…”no mommy, not the c’rella dollie, the c’rella dress!!”)  She is a girly girl but at the same time, she’s willing to play airplanes and hockey or whatever her big brother asks.  I can’t deny it… I love that I have a daughter and that I am able to relish in all things pink and girly and cute… like big flower clips and pettiskirts.

As much as I loved having her in the tall grass, Miss C was not a fan and was done after about two minutes so we headed downtown. Girls and their twirls….

And a few more just because…

Sweet C, I know you will continue to amaze us with your strong willed yet happy spirit, fun personality and caring nature.
We’re so excited to see what this next year of life has in store for you (like preschool)!
We love you with all our hearts.  Happy happy birthday Princess!
