I’ve been meaning to blog this session for a while. This little guy grew so much between his newborn and 3 month session. His family is so beautiful and sweet. And look at his beautiful big sister! She did such a good job cuddling her brother on cue for the photos!
Meet T. I had the pleasure of photographing her as she anticipates the birth of her baby. She was just a joy to photograph. I also got to photograph her husband and her other baby–her dog. Their dog was so funny during our session. Let’s just say that I think he might have a future in “posing” in front of the camera. I’m looking forward to photographing her little one after his arrival.
Dezarae: Beautiful! Love the simplicity of these!
Melissa: What a gorgeous family! She is just glowing and you captured it perfectly! And that is going to be one GORGEOUS baby!!! can't wait to see the newborn portraits!
desi: she's really beautiful. LOVE the last one!

This session is from a few months ago. I’m a little late to blog about it, but it was a lovely session on a lovely warm day. I’ve been longing for some warm beach weather, so I thought I’d put up some images today. This family is just the sweetest. Mom is very laid back, friendly and sweet. And if you can believe it, she was actually pregnant when we took these photos. Tell me these sisters are not just the cutest!
These are actually some of the spreads from the album she ordered.

It wasn’t that long ago that I did J’s maternity images when her little boy was in her tummy. And she’s now just weeks away from having another newborn baby. This time we did outdoor shots, and the colors were just lovely. As usual, they were just great to work with.
Kathleen: What a gorgeous mom! She's just radiant.
Emily Southerland: What a cute mama!! Congrats to her, and nice job to you!
Danielle Frank: Very nice! I love the one of mama and baby!
Jen Gasper: The colors are beautiful. Kind of makes me miss that time in my life. I love the image of the little girl with mom. I so remember the nice little shelf that I carried my boys around on when they were about the same age! Brings back memories. It is nice when a photo can evoke so much emotion!

This family was SUCH a pleasure to photograph! The parents recently had their 40th anniversary, and their son wanted to give them a gift of family photographs including him and his new wife. What a great idea. Aren’t they a beautiful family? And the colors go so well with their beauty and happiness. Glorious, I say. At the end, as I was taking some pictures of J and his wife, we looked over at his parents with my reflector and scrim with the sun shining through, and I just couldn’t resist getting some spontaneous silhouette photos of them with them. What fun! Here’s to 40th anniversaries, and to many more.
Julie: Lovely family session! And those last two are cute (especially the smooch!).
Julie Wagoner: What a wonderful gift for this precious family! I especially love that first shot!

We had so much fun getting some wonderful Souther California style beach photographs. Swinging is what this little one loves. Can you tell! This family was just so comfortable doing their own thing, enjoying the beach like I wasn’t there. What a beautiful family!
Desiree Hayes: Beautiful! Gorgeous fam and I love the sunset light!
lauri: What a fun session! Adorable little girl too. The closeup of her being held up by both parents' arms is fabulous!

Kristina P: What a beautiful family, love the evening sunlight as well :)

This newborn little boy is so lucky. His parents are just so enamored with him, as are his grandparents. I had such a lovely time photographing baby J. He’s just beautiful and such a sweetheart! Mom and dad just moved into their new house, after spending some time decorating it, so I just couldn’t help photographing the family in their gorgeous breakfast nook. Can you imagine the good times and lovely breakfasts that are going to take place in there? And I’m really excited that some of these are going to hang big in their home. What’s better than personal wall art?
ETA: I completely forgot to mention his cute little mohawk. Doesn’t he have the cutest hair?
Desiree Hayes: I love these! That yawning image is sooo precious!
Amy: Beautiful work! I love his yawn and the one with the dog is great.

I feel like I’ve been ignoring this blog, but it’s not for lack of things to write about. Lots has been happening, and I’m looking forward to blogging about these things. One thing that’s been keeping me quite busy is three straight days of shooting from morning until night at a Janie & Jack kids clothing store. I photographed oodles of adorable children, and I’m looking forward to sharing some images from those sessions soon. Check back soon!
I saw this contest today, and I thought that some of my readers who are engaged to be married would be interested in this Ultimate Wedding Contest by Crate & Barrel. They are giving away a dream wedding worth $100,000. Oh, it sounds luxurious! Here’s the link: ultimate wedding contest: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/ultimatewedding/Default.aspx
Continuing my blogging on your family holiday photo shoots. This is another special family to me. Little Ms. O has so much personality as you can see here. Her brother was a little more coy the day of our photo shoot, but we still got some fun pictures of him as well.
Julie: What a cute family! I am partial to freckles myself (having always wanted some!). Great images!
david {happy hearts photography}: cuties! big sis did do well, not always such an easy thing!
