images and words from orange county newborn, baby, and children photographer, cindy chen
Daylight savings is tough for me… actually, it’s the springing forward part that’s hard. I’ve always been more of a night owl than an early riser and I cherish every hour of sleep I get. Having to get up before the sun did this morning wasn’t fun for me (I’m guessing it wasn’t exactly fun for anyone, LOL). But as a photographer, having an extra hour of sunlight, is a spectacular thing.
Bubbles make her a happy little girl!
Here is a Valentine’s Day wedding proposal you soon won’t forget!
Rey and Misty were in Anaheim on a mini vacation from the Bay Area… part birthday celebration for her, part Valentine’s Day getaway, and also part being there with Rey’s family to be a part of his nephew’s first trip to Disneyland. Little did Misty know, this trip to Disneyland was going to be a little more special than just that.
Rey’s sister Liza (who also happens to be one of my oldest and dearest childhood friends) decided to make an appointment to have a caricature drawn of her son to commemorate his first visit to Disneyland. Right on cue, little guy fell asleep just before his appointment. Rey and Misty ended up taking the spot and had a caricature drawn of them instead. After an hour of sitting and seeing a HUGE crowd assemble (who knew the caricature stand at Disneyland was so popular **wink, wink**), this was the final result.
(Side note: the artist didn’t put Misty’s reply in until after she said it, this photo was taken after the engagement took place)
So back to the story… when the artist was finished, Misty got up to take a look and it took a quick moment for it to register. She turned around to find Rey on one knee with the ring his hand. He asked her to marry him and her reply was yes! It was the cutest proposal ever! The HUGE crowd cheered. Strangers took pictures with their cell phones. It was a magical proposal, so fitting for the Magic Kingdom and happiest place on earth!
More pictures of the proposal!
See the lady in the doorway in this last one? I think all the women there were feelin’ the love… awwwww….
Congratulations Rey and Misty! I am so happy for you two and wish you nothing but love and happiness! I’m glad I got to be there to capture this amazing moment for you guys! Good job Rey!

Remember Jamie and Mike? If you don’t remember them by name, you definitely will remember Jamie’s super cute red polka dot maternity dress! Well, their little bundle of joy arrived last weekend… on her due date to be exact. And yes, I said “her”… it’s a girl! Welcome to the world, beautiful baby!
I photographed this little beauty today… five days old. So tiny, fresh, new and perfect. I think I can officially say that I am additcted to sweet little baby feet!
Newborns are usually sleepy little people, but this little miss was awake for our entire session! She did not sleep one wink! I couldn’t believe how awake and alert she was, despite our (well mostly her mommy’s) best attempts to get her back to sleep. Don’t get me wrong though, I was excited to get so many pictures of her awake!
And one more to wrap up this sneak peek, a family photo…. and baby makes three.
Congratulations again M+J and welcome to the world of parenthood! I am so excited to be able to watch your little cutie pie grow up!
