the little miss | orange county newborn photographer

I am so lucky to have gotten to spend a few hours with this little miss, relishing in her newness and capturing her in first few days of life with her mommy, daddy, and big brother.  Baby M was as sweet as can be during our session.  She started off awake and alert, which was perfect because look at those beautiful eyes and perfect lips.

I have been wanting to photograph a newborn outdoors but the weather has never cooperated with me (too cold or too windy).  It was a perfect July day when we had Baby M’s session and I was thrilled when her mommy said it would be ok to bring her outside to enjoy the warm summer weather for a few shots.  I think photographers are the only people who get really excited to find overgrown grass!

 I love mom and dad’s rings (especially Mom’s!!) on her tiny toes!  I’m always looking for ways to encorporate “you” into your session (newborn sessions too!), and wedding rings are cerainly something special and unique to you! 
Baby M is an absolute angel!

Check out this cool chalk board frame in the W family’s living room.  Baby M’s Uncle drew this adorable letter M for her when he came to visit after she arrived home from the hospital.  I’m sure it won’t be long before this frame will be filled with drawings from M and her big brother S!  And another image that I love… mommy and her TWO baby loves.  Being a mom of two myself, seeing this picture warms my heart and brings me back to those first days of being a mom with a toddler and a newborn!

Thank you W family once again for the opportunity to photograph your beautiful family.  It’s truly an honor to have documented your son’s first year of life (and to see become a big brother) and now, your daughter’s new beginning.  Enjoy every minute because they go by so quickly.

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!
