Little Baby R. | Los Angeles Newborn Photography

Meet Baby R. He’s a handsome little guy with a couple of cool parents. They were SO much fun when they were viewing and choosing their images. I think mom and dad were pleasantly surprised that we got so many wonderful images, as Baby R. wasn’t quite in the mood for pictures on the day I was there photographing. What’s great is that one of the shots that we all fell in love with was an unplanned shot with this adorable squishy pouty face (the black and white one below). We were originally trying for the peaceful sleeping shot in the same position, but each time we tried, he would have nothing of the sort, and immediately got pouty. I love when I get an even more amazing image than the one I planned on. Such a cute baby!!!!

It was such a pretty day when we photographed this little newborn, so we were able to do some shots inside and some outside. The family was so appreciative and accommodating in their home–truly a sweet family. I was so excited to show them the images that we got. Also, her sister was such a good sport through the entire session. We even got some shots of her alone, enjoying a flower.

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.

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.

I was just thinking about this shot today, as it’s one I’ve been meaning to show. It’s one I took at Janie & Jack a few months ago, but I remember just loving the tender look dad was giving his baby. And this newborn looks so comfy in dad’s arms.

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!

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?

I’ve been meaning to do some large posts with samples of the many Janie & Jack clothing store mini sessions I did, but I haven’t put those posts together yet. I decided, though, just to do a few at a time in the mean time. So here are some images of an adorable baby girl. Seriously, LOOK at those cheeks! In the second one, she even posed as a ballerina for me.

This family was so welcoming to me in their beautiful home. On the day of our session, Baby R’s tummy was hurting, and we were still able to get her sleeping nicely for many lovely shots. It was so nice photographing their family along with their newest addition. Now don’t forget to notice how beautiful and at peace mom looks with Baby R all snuggled up to her.

New Mama to Be | Los Angeles Pregnancy Photographer

Meet M. She is one of the cutest pregnant women I’ve seen in a long time. She seems to be so excited to be having her child in a couple of months, and to have these images with which to remember this amazing time in her life. We had such fun at the session. She was so easy going, and up for just about anything. I’m sharing quite a few, as I had a hard time narrowing down which ones to put post.
