My little Chloe has been busy…{Orange County, Ca Commercial Photographer}

Busy modeling for some amazing etsy designers!

First up: Bambaroos Children’s Boutique. I was literally jumping up and down, squealing like a baby excited when I opened up the package with this skirt in it! It’s absolutely stunning! And the instant I put Chloe in it, she had the biggest smile on her face. It’s like she really felt like a princess!

What I’ve been working on… {Orange County, Ca Commercial Photographer}

I’ve been a busy little bee the past few weeks. Not only with work, but with my personal life. My kid’s schedules seem to be getting busier & busier and I feel like the hours in each day are shrinking by the minute! I’m sad to say that I’ve neglected this blog yet once again. I’ve been meaning to share a huge post of sweet baby Alexa (instead of just one photo) but I just haven’t found the time. I wanted to give everyone a little peek at what I’ve been working on. I can’t wait to share more! But for now, here is a sneak peek of some designers I’ve been working with lately. I haven’t even gotten through all the images yet, but here are some that jumped out at me:

First up: Banner Boutique Everyone knows how much I *adore* these headbands! My daughter is practically a walking advertisement for them!

I promise I’ll be posting more of sweet baby Alexa soon! Most likely early next week. Got a super busy rest of the week that will keep me away from my computer for a few days (my birthday celebration, lots of events for the wedding this weekend and Mother’s day!)

Have a great day everyone!! xoxo

As most of you know, all 75+ of Chloe’s headbands are ALL from Banner Boutique! They are hands down the best headbands out there! I always include them in my sessions. Lindsay from Banner Boutique was kind enough to send me a box of headbands for this special mommy & me mini session event so that every little girl can not only wear one for the session, but she gets to go home with a brand new headband! And these headbands are not just for the kids! Many of the headbands can be made to fit adults too. Click here to visit Banner Boutique on Etsy!

Kids Ink Commercial Shoot {Orange County, Ca Commercial Photographer}

I FINALLY had the chance to post some of my favorites from this commercial shoot I did a few months ago. Kids Ink is an AWESOME clothing line for infants & kids and I’ve been a big fan of their clothing line for a while now. So you could imagine that I was super stoked to have the opportunity to shoot the Spring & Summer 2011 lines. And an added bonus: both of my kids got to model some of the clothes! What an awesome experience-both for myself & my kids. It was a crazy 2 days with lots of kids but it was so much fun & so many cute clothes! (I’m SO in love with the bikini little Kaitlyn is modeling. I want one in my size!) Here are some of my favorites from the shoots.
