It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a baby photo session, after Christmas I took a little bit of time off and I’ve been doing so many weddings lately that I haven’t had as much time for the babies.  Well, I couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off baby season than with this little cutie!  I’ve never seen a two week old baby with so many rolls, it was so adorable.  She has such an adorable round little face.

Enjoy this sneak peek!

You may remember this handsome little man from his newborn pictures I shot a couple months ago. He has gotten so big since then and is filled out very nicely with cute little baby fat. I was lucky enough to be invited to capture this very important event is his life. It’s so great to see him growing up, and also his big sister Leia whom I’ve been photographing since he was 6 months old. Enjoy the sneak peek of Mikey’s baptism at The Sacred Heart Church.

He didn’t think this was very serious. =) I thought it was funny how everyone was listening with very serious looks on their faces but Mikey was making faces at me. He’s such a little ham!

He’s so adorable!

As you can tell by the Blog I’ve been shooting so many newborns lately.  I love newborns!  They are so sweet and tiny and they smell so sweet (most of the time).  Baby Levi was 5 weeks old when I shot these pictures and I was sure that there was no way he would sleep through the session.  The first day I went to take his picture I was right, he would not shut his eyes no matter what his mom and dad did so I told them not to worry and that I’d come back the next day and maybe then he would sleep.  Well as soon as I got there he knocked right out and slept like a champ for me for almost an hour.  I wanted to share some awake pictures this time because I usually never take newborn pictures with their eyes open but I couldn’t resist Levi’s beautiful eyes.  I am so lucky to have such wonderful and I hope to be able to capture every stage of this beautiful baby’s growth.

Enjoy this sneak peek!

I’m closing out 2008 with a great newborn session with adorable baby Jackson.  Actually Jackson is barely a newborn anymore, he turned 3 weeks old yesterday and I have to admit that it was a lot harder to curl up a baby as old as 3 weeks and it was also pretty hard to keep him sleeping.  But I think in the end and after almost four hours we came out with some great shots.

Have a happy New Year everyone!  Gina, enjoy the sneak peek of your beautiful baby boy!

Today I had the pleasure of photographing this little sweet heart.  She was a perfect little model for me as was knocked out for the entire session.  I will be breif with this post because mom just emailed letting me know that she can’t sleep until I post and so I can’t keep her waiting a second longer.

Christine, thank you again for choosing me to capture this moment in your daughters life, I hope you enjoy this sneak peek.

This little guy is turning one in just a few weeks so mom and dad wanted to get some first birthday shots and Christmas shots.  I always love shooting one year olds, they are so sweet and smiley.  I love them!  What I love even more is when they have adorable clothes for the pictures.  I was so excited when I heard what mom brought, a cowboy hat and boots.  I had the perfect spot right down the street for the little buckaroo pictures and I have to say that they couldn’t have come out more perfect.  I wish I could share more but it’s past midnight and I’m too sleepy now to even see the computer screen straight so four is all I can post tonight.

Enjoy the sneak peek. =)

I think this was definitely one of my favorites!

And just look at this smile. . . . what a little heartbreaker!

Santa’s cutest little helper.

The family!

Everytime I photograph a newborn I want another baby, but this time I have serious baby fever.  As I rocked little baby Peyton in my arms and put my hand over the top of her little tiny head my heart ached for another little baby.  There is nothing in this world quite like the innocence of a newborn baby.  Sadly they are only this little for a very short period of time and they grow up to be little people that don’t want you to hold them or help them do anything (my sons are at this stage now).  I am so lucky to be able to have a job that I’m able to be around precious little babies and cure my baby fever just for a little while.

Enjoy the photos of beautiful baby Peyton.

I just picked up this cute vintage baby scale from the antique barn across the street from my studio in SJC, the only problem is the paint chipping away at the bottom, but I kind of like that, it gives it more of an antique look.

Meet Miss Emma, president and CEO of an Orange County blog called Tiny Oranges. Emma is one of the most darling little girls ever, and she was so well behaved the entire session. We met up at the new Sweet Baby Studio in San Juan Capistrano and wandered around the city to find some amazing places to shoot. San Juan Capistrano has always been one of my favorite places to do engagement sessions but this is my first time shooting a kid here, but believe me when I say it won’t be the last.

Enjoy the sneak peek of Emma, and be sure to check out www.tinyoranges.com!

When I first spoke to Stacey she told me that her back yard had been featured in OC Living, so right away I had a feeling that this would be a great session. I knew that at the very least I would have a great background to shoot the pictures, but little did I know that these little ones would be so adorable. I told Stacey that her family was a perfect “magazine” family. I had so much fun at this session, thank you again Stacey for letting me capture the pictures of your babies, I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek.

Lately my favorite thing to do is photographing newborns.  It may be that they are so innocent and tiny, or it may be that I’m getting serious baby fever now that my boys are growing up so fast.  Either way I am having so much fun doing my job!  Today was exceptionally fun because I finally got to meet baby Mikey.  I have been waiting for him for a very long time!  He is the brother of little Leia who I’ve photographed many times, she’s so excited to be a big sister.  Like always I had a hard time deciding which pictures to blog because I loved so many, but these are by far my top three.

Enjoy the sneak peek Imee!  Thanks again for letting me be a part of capturing your memories!

In the beginning we were a little bit worried that Mikey would never fall asleep.

But when he did fall asleep he was totally out and let us pose him perfectly!  Just look at his sweet little face, he’s always going to have great lips and a pout that’s sure to get him everything he wants.

Today I had the pleasure of shooting one year old Justin.  He is such a sweet little boy and oh so cute!  My littlest is the same age, just a couple months older but it’s always fun shooting a familiar age because I know exactly what to expect.  One year old’s just don’t like to sit still, but we were able to get some great shots of this little guy, maybe someday I’ll get some of my own little one year old.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

I loved this little spot just down the street from their house.  I have to say that it was not a bad area at all! =)

I think Justin looks so adorable and snuggly here, this was one of my favorites!

Yesterday I took a trip out to L.A. to see a fellow photographer friend and her new baby girl.  I always get nervouse when other photographers ask me to take pictures of them or their kids, I don’t know why, maybe I just feel like I’m always being watched.  But needless to say Haven’s mom needed my help and I was there no questions asked.  Haven’s older brother Angel just had a liver, bowel and pancreas transplant about a month ago and his family had to relocate to L.A. to be closer to the hospital for his recovery.  We all know how much work it takes to have a baby but then add all the other stress of a sick child and moving to a new place without all the comforts of home, Sarah you are definitely Super Mom!  You can read more about Sarah’s oldest son Angel, here.

Meet Arion, he is my very good friend’s little boy and beleive it or not but this is the first picture I’ve ever taken of him.  Not only the first but the only, he just didn’t like the camera and I didn’t want to scare him too much so I kept the camera out of his face most of the day.  Hopefully it won’t be the last time I get to take his picture, he’s such a darling little guy and doesn’t he look so much like Zakk?!  Arion and Gavin are the same age by less than a month and I have a feeling they’ll grow up to be the best of friends!

I have been a bad blogger.  But it’s wedding season people.  I haven’t had a break!  But the next couple weeks I will have a little less workload on my plate and will be catching up.  Once school starts in a couple weeks I will be a much better blogger, I also won’t be obsessing over which preschool to put Gavin in.  I have visited about 15 schools in the last two weeks and today we finally found a winner.  I will have to start working a lot more though to pay for it.  ;)  So if you’re thinking about having a session with me, now’s a great time!!

I promised mom a sneak peek from this session last week and I am so sorry it’s taken so long.  Seriously though I think that my biggest problem, and I guess it’s really not a problem, but it is having too many good pictures to choose from to post on the blog.  I spend close to an hour just trying to choose my favorites and then I realize that they’re all my favorites.  I also always want mom to be surprised when the gallery goes up so I don’t like giving too much away on the blog.

This little guy was so good!  He slept through the entire session without any fuss, he was the most perfect little model.  He reminded so much of my little Zakk when he was a newborn.  I feel like Zakk was this age last week, I can’t believe how fast time goes and that my littlest baby is already one and walking and wrestling with his older brother.

I just adore this baby!  Enjoy the sneak peek!

What a fun session I had today with Owen and his mommy! Owen is going to be a big brother in August so I went out to get some shots of the little bun in the oven and of course the new big brother. Owen is just one of the cutest little guys ever. Mom wanted to get some shots for her husband for Father’s Day which I think is such a sweet idea. It made me start thinking that maybe I need to do something good for my husband for Father’s Day. The only idea I have so far is a card, anyone have any better thoughts?

Anyway, enjoy the sneak peek Liz! I hope your hubby loves the pictures and that you and he have a wonderful Father’s Day!
