Baby Christian~ Studio Session

Sometime Home Sessions are easier for everyone, some times Studio Sessions are easier. One thing about studio sessions, I can utileze more of my props since I don't have to pack them all into the trunk of my car and lug them into your house! So if props are important, consider a Studio Session over a Home Session. Sometime people don't have the space to accommodate me and all my junk! Another reason for a Studio Session- plus no need to clean up the house.

This adorable little guy came to see me at my little studio about two weeks after we did his in hospital photos. He was a trouper and barely cried the whole time he was here. Good job little Christian!

Baby Thomas~ Fresh 48 Session

Another brand spanking new little guy I got to hold and photograph in his hospital room, just about 24 hours after he was born. Such a cutie pie! And such pretty hair. I can't wait to see this little guy in a couple of weeks for his traditional newborn session. Welcome to the world Baby Thomas!

Newborn Mini Session for Little Eva

If you want to do newborn photos, but either the idea of spending hours at a studio or you're worried it costs too much, Mini Sessions are a great idea. You get great images and save some money. The biggest difference is the number of poses and props. Usually Mini Session only take place at my studio, but I made an exception for sweet little Ms Eva, since I've know her dad for years and they live just down the street from me.

Happy Birthday Jackson~ Cake Smash at the Park

Such a cute chunk of a boy and always happy! I was really surprised when he burst into tears at his Cake Smash- mom was too. Poor guy! We couldn't stop laughing! He was so upset at having that icing on his hands. These are going to be great when he's in high school and playing football. Can you say blackmail ;)

Fresh 48 for Sweet Little Eva

I got to go to the hospital and meet little Ms Eva less than 24 hours after she arrived into this world. Its such a special thing to be able to hold a little one so new!
I've known sweet little Eva's dad since before he could drive a car. Its so strange to think of him as a dad! But I know he's going to be a great one. She already has his heart wrapped around her little finger.

High School Senior Photos~ Sarah

Right up there with newborns as my favorite thing to photograph is seniors. High school senior photography is a much bigger deal in other parts of the country then it is in Southern California. Here, kids get it done for their graduation announcements and that's about it. In other areas, they look at senior photos as capturing an important slice of time. They order coffee table books or albums, announcements and other items to display around the house- its a big deal! In Southern California, its something people sometimes do, in other parts of the country, its something people feel the need to do! Because of this, I don't get the chance to photograph as many seniors as I would like. I'm hoping things change some day, because they sure are fun to work with.
Congrats to Sarah who will be graduating from Dana Hills High School in a few weeks and heading off to San Francisco in the fall! Go Blue!

Happy 6 months Degan!

Milestone sessions are so much fun! It's so great to see these little guys grow and change! This was Degan's 6 month session. He sure has become a happy little guy! All smiles and laughs (with a bit of drool thrown in).
For those of you who are wondering what in the world Milestone Sessions are, they are session that usually take place at 3, 6, 9 months and one year. Those dates that usually mark changes- 3 months is tummy time, 6 months is sitting up, 9 months is crawling and one year is walking. Its just so great to document these times in your little ones lives. Sure, you have a million photos of them on your cell phone! But what are they going to have to show their kids and their grandkids? Hummmm

Welcome Baby Skylar~ Newborn Photo Session

This sweet girl is the new baby of a couple who's wedding photos I took about 4 years ago! A cute little ceremony overlooking Dana Point Harbor. Now look what they have gone and done! LOL!
This little princess did not want to sleep! We finally got her to sleep for about an hour and snapped away as quickly as we could. Some times thats just how it goes. She had had a rough night the night before and the family had a new dog, so there was lots going on in her two week old little world. Mom and Dad were happy with the outcome and thats all that mattered.

Tristan's First Photos~ Newborn Session

This sweet little guy was a dream come true! He was such a mellow little one. His sister was full of energy, and luckily dad was able to take her to the park near by while we finished photos. I meet Tristan's mom in a Facebook Southern Orange County Moms Group and was super excited that it worked out for her to come to me to do photos.
