Natalie ~ 9 months along {Ladera Ranch, Ca Maternity Photographer}

What a beautiful little family! Natalie is due in just 9 short days! Her husband, Nick plays professional baseball and recently got signed with the Boston Red Sox. These two don’t know if they will be welcoming a baby boy or baby girl and I can’t wait to find out at their newborn session! One thing is for sure: Nick & Natalie make beautiful children and I can’t wait to meet their new arrival very soon. Isn’t Natalie just STUNNING??!! I can not believe that she is just about to give birth! I wish I looked that good when I was about to have a baby!

N & N: Thank you for choosing me to document this joyful time in your lives! I had a blast with all of you at the session and you have such a beautiful family. I’m very much looking forward to meeting your new baby girl or baby boy very soon! xo

Kaitlyn & Gavin {Ladera Ranch, Ca Family Photographer}

I LOVE this family! Landon and I met Kaitlyn and her mommy way back when Landon & Kaitlyn were 18 months old in our Mommy & Me class. They became best buddies instantly. We continued our Mommy & Me classes until our second babies arrived (she had Gavin and I had Chloe, who are only weeks apart) So cool. I feel so lucky that we’ve got kids the same age who are all great friends. They are our Wahoo’s buddies too ;) I *heart* this family!!

Our session got cut a little short when it DUMPED rain on us out of nowhere. (well kind of. the forecast predicted rain all day, but it didn’t start when it said, so I took a chance and moved up this session to try and beat the rain) Anyway, the rain clouds made for a super cool sky.

H & J: Soooooo, what do you think?!? Thanks for braving the rain and agreeing to try your shoot on such a stormy day! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! xoxo

And I REALLY couldn’t decide which family photo I liked best. I think the black & white one at the top fit the storyboard better, but I also LOVE this one below! So cute!

The Freshy’s & Tougas’s {San Juan Capistrano, Ca Family Photographer}

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing some of my most favorite people in the whole world. My wonderful neighbors! We  have defantly found some life long friends with these two amazing families! All of our kids love each other and we’re truly like one big happy family whenever we get together.

Freshy’s & Tougas’s: Thank you for FINALLY letting me get some awesome family photos for you (some were very long overdue). As always, I had a blast with you all and I hope you love the little sneak peek! Wish I could share the whole session now, but gotta leave some for your slideshow. Love you all xoxo

The Ludwig Family {Laguna Niguel, Ca Family Photographer}

Isn’t my cousin and his family just adorable?? Love that we only live 3 miles away from each other and that our kids (and our daughters are only 4 months apart) get to grow up together.

A & J: Hope you love these as much as I do!! xoxo

Here are a few of our kids together. This was after the shoot and they earned lollipops. I think they were more interested in the candy than they were in taking a photo. These kids have so much fun together. And my kids love Taylor like a sister. awwww. :)

Will, Colton & Wesley {Laguna Niguel, Ca Family Photographer}

I had a blast with this family last weekend! My sister is the nanny for this amazing family. How cute are these boys?? You’d all die of laughter if you saw what my sister, my assistant and I were all doing to get these boys (and dog!) to look our way and smile! Oh boy! They were total troopers though! No tears the entire session.

M & B: Thank you so much for allowing me to capture these special moments of you and your family together. It was so great to finally meet you all! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! xoxo

Camille ~ 5 days new {San Clemente, Ca Newborn Photographer}

Isn’t she sweet?!!? At first, I was a little worried about how this session was going to go since she would just not settle down, but finally she did and she was a perfect angel! She slept thru so many different “set up” changes and rocked it!

G & A: Camille is simply adorable! THANK you for choosing me to capture such a special time in your lives! I’m truly honored! xoxo
