big five | ladera ranch child photographer

It really doesn’t seem like it was FIVE YEARS AGO that I delivered my first baby.  The day that Collin entered the world, our lives had been changed for the better.  All the firsts that new parents experience… the sleepless nights, his first smile, all the milestones, big and little, we were (and still are) so excited to experience them.  And now he isn’t a baby or even a toddler anymore, he is five!  It really did just fly by and I can’t believe that in the fall, he’ll be starting Kindergarten!  Wow!  Happy Birthday Sweet Collin!

It’s funny because when people find out that I am a children’s photographer, they always think that my children must love being in front of the camera.  With Collin (and a lot of other kids of photographers), it is quite the opposite!  He is currently going through an anti-picture phase with Mommy and her camera.  I was working on an assignment over the weekend, when Collin happened to come around and I quickly snuck in one of him. :)  So glad that I did.   He looks like such a big boy in this one… the serious side of my happy little man!

Stay tuned friends… more blog posts will be coming soon!  I have a newborn session Friday and a family session at the “happiest place on earth” (weather permitting) this weekend!  Can’t wait!

A very warm January morning in Southern California… the perfect day to be at the beach!
Here is a little sneak peek from my latest session… a maternity session with good friends, Jamie and Mike,
who are expecting their first baby!  We started off at the beach in San Clemente.

When we headed for higher ground, we found a cute little hillside for some solo shots of mom-to-be. 
Here is one of my favorites.

I like to think that baby worked with me on this next shot.  Right on cue, he (or she!) decided to give mom and dad a big nudge and I was able to capture this sweet moment between the three of them.

Here are a few more favorites from the session.  Guess my little sneak peek isn’t going to be so little.:)

 

Thanks Mike and Jamie for spending your Saturday morning with me.  I can’t wait to meet your little one and I am looking forward to your newborn session!  It’ll be here before we know it!

Not only are these kids gorgeous, they were a joy to photograph.  Each one of them told me separately that
they LOVE having their picture taken.  It’s a photographer’s dream!   I could feel the closeness they share
and I always enjoy seeing a child’s personality come out during the session!

Of course I have to share a few individual shots.
First up, the baby (and she’s definately not a baby) of the group… the spunky one! Don’t you LOVE the missing teeth?

Next, the middle child… loyal and caring.  During the session, she told me she looked cute and yes, she certianly does!

And last, but certainly not least, the older brother… the protector and leader.

And one more!

Thanks S and C for allowing me to photograph your beautiful children.  They really are beautiful, both inside and out.
I can already tell that each one of these kids are going places!  Enjoy the sneak peek… can’t wait to show yout the rest!
