Look who is one! {San Bernardino Baby Photography}

August 26, 2010

I love this family. I first met Jacob at his maternity session, then his newborn session, and I photographed their family last year for Christmas. They are wonderful clients and feel like old friends now.

Yesterday we met up for Jacob’s one year pictures. He wasn’t all about my camera at all. He pretty much wanted nothing to do with me. :) We had to opportunity to shoot at an amazing new location, and I am so grateful to the owner for welcoming me onto her property.

Stay tuned this weekend for part 2 of Jacob’s session!

This is how our session started…

6 weeks old {Claremont Newborn Photographer}

August 26, 2010

I met sweet baby S this past Friday, and Sunday, for her newborn portraits. Six weeks is not really considered a “newborn” anymore to any photographer, and I didn’t expect her to fall asleep at all. She proved me wrong and slept for a little bit. :) I couldn’t believe her amazing head control and eye contact for her age. She was able to follow objects with her eyes too, so grown up! I cannot wait to watch her grow over the next year.

Enjoy your sneak peek A family!

I met with Natalie today for her maternity session. She is so anxiously awaiting the arrival of little miss S and I cannot wait to meet this little anticipated arrival in just a few short weeks.
