and baby makes four...

A few weeks ago I met a great family.  Their daughter is so wonderful and their son is just adorable.  He was a good sport seeing as it was evening and he was the main attraction for pics.

Baby Angelo just wanted to sleep and we kept waking him up.  But he sure was a cute lil tiger.  Here see what I mean:

I wanted to bite his cheeks, but we were trying to get everything in before we completely lost the sun and he was tired, so he slipped by with out even a cheek nibble.  With  a little hard work from his funny looking uncle we got some great little laughs.

 

He even posed for some family shots:

 

While Baby was taking a break we did some shots of the 3 girl cousins, they are all gorgeous and so fun:

 

Look how cute father and daughter are:

After all his hard work Angelo got his wish and he took some Zzz's.

I was exhausted myself.  Being pregnant and rolling around on the ground is not as easy these days.

But looking at the portraits after I am done makes it all worthwhile. 

Stay tuned - more to come...

So much fun and sooooo cute...

So a few weeks ago I met a beautiful little girl who was 4 months old.  She was such a  happy baby and was the pride of the entire family.  Her parents were given a  gift certificate to have some photographs of their new baby. We had so much fun.  We took a few hours to just play and have some fun.  Then we went outside to grandma's lovely garden to get some family shots as well.

Take a peak:

 

It was so lovely meeting every one in the family.  Thank you again for letting me capture a few hours of your lives.

Baby Jack is 3 months old

I need to do a  little catch up today.  Let's start with Baby Jack; who is getting so big.  I photographed his mommy when he was still in the belly.  I photographed him when he was just a  few days old and  I have had the pleasure of seeing this little boy get cuter and cuter each month.  His smile will light up a room.  He is just so much fun.  I was smiling the whole time I processed his pictures.

Check out this smiley boy:

Don't you just want to eat him up.

Stay tuned for more posts.

Meet Baby Eva

A few weeks ago I made another trip up to the Bay Area to photograph a beautiful baby girl.  She was just 10 days old when we met but she was the perfect little model.  Her mom and I had lots of fun dressing her up and just playing.

Eva is the second daughter to one of my best and oldest friends (33 years of friendship).  So this was extra special.  Not to mention Eva's big sis is my God daughter.

It was a whirlwind weekend but so much fun!  I cannot wait to watch both of them grow up to be beautiful and successful young women.

Here are a few from our lovely day of play:

It is baby season...

I had the opportunity to do a maternity and newborn session in the same day right after each other.  Two different families, but it was extra special to get to photograph both in the same day.

Here are some of my favorites from the maternity session:

baby number two is on her way...

 

 

 

Love that last shot.

Then I drove on down the freeway to meet Jack.  I had previously photographed him when his mommy was still pregnant (click here).  He was finally here and it was time for him to strut his stuff.

At first all he wanted was food and I was getting in his way.  So after many feedings and changing he fell asleep and we moved in for our close ups.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This last one is one ofmy favorites.  Mommy looks so happy and baby is sleeping so peacefully.

I am still trying to catch up.  stay tuned for my posts on the Discovery Workshop.

Have a great holiday weekend.  Stay safe.

Sweet little lips...

About a week ago I flew up to Northern California for a newborn shoot.  Baby G was born about 4 weeks ago and is just a perfect little boy. His lips are just so perfect and sweet.

 Newborns sleep a lot right? especially after eating?  well not Baby G he was awake for the first hour an a half of the shoot.  We fed him and wrapped him up tight and even had the room temp to about 78 degrees.  We were all sweating, but Baby G was happier than...well you know.

Nevertheless, he was a perfect little model.  No crying or anything.  I can not wait to photograph him again.  Here are a few from our session.

 

 

 

and after we tired him out...

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

He is just so precious.  Congratulations Mommy and Daddy...job well done!  Thank you for letting me be the first to capture your son on film.
