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!

xo,

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!

She made my job easy {Rancho Cucamonga Newborn Photography}

August 10, 2010

Today I met with miss Sophia. She had been my easiest newborn to date. This little one, just 5 and a half days old, slept so soundly no matter how much I moved her around. What a perfect model!

Thanks mom and dad for having me over! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Anticipation {Inland Empire Maternity Photographer}

August 5, 2010

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. I love that Natalie told me she loves being pregnant and wanted to document this special time in her life.

N, it was so nice meeting you today. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Shyree: I agree with Priscilla - I like the black and white picture. All of the pictures are beautiful

Mondo: The B & W is my favorite too! Although the kiss ain't bad ;)

Baby on Board {Laguna Beach Maternity Photographer}

August 2, 2010

I met up with Wendy and Manny yesterday at Crystal Cove in Laguna Beach for their maternity session. Wendy is almost 35 weeks and looks just stunning. She was completely trusting of my ideas and totally up for anything I suggested. Thank you Wendy and Manny for such a fun session yesterday. I hope you two aren’t too sore from the little hike we had, I know I am!

Enjoy your sneak peek!
