Baby Alexa ~ 6 days new {Aliso Viejo, Ca Newborn Photographer}

Oh boy. I am so far behind on blogging! I wanted to post this session weeks ago and am just now getting around to it. OMG I am in LOVE with this baby!! She is so sweet and beautiful and those lips!! They are to die for! I am so over the moon excited for Alex & Amanda!! We’ve been friends for 10 years and she’s one of my best friends. I’m sure you remember it all when I posted a while back about her maternity session.

Alex & Amanda: Words can not express how happy and excited I am for you! Alexa is absolutely stunning and I’m so excited that our daughters will get to grow up together and be best friends just like us! Congratulations on sweet baby Alexa!! xoxo

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!

And lastly, Look at what I got in the mail today!!!!!!!! A DARLING pair of shoes from Little Posh Bebe I’ve been a huge fan of her shoes for a while now and I’m so excited to photograph my little Chloe in these!!!!!

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

Baby Logan {Laguna Niguel, Ca Newborn Photographer}

I love H & R!! It all started off when I shot their wedding back in 2008, then their family portraits in 2009 and now I got to document the B family as a new family of 4! Doesn’t baby Logan have the sweetest face you’ve ever seen? And he was so good! Never once did he cry. He just slept through the entire shoot! That’s 2 newborns in a row! Lucky me!

H & R: Thank you for choosing me to document  yet another special time in your lives! Both Luke and Logan are adorable and you are a beautiful family! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!! xoxo

Tanith Avery ~ 7 Days New {Coto de Caza, Ca Newborn Photographer}

I was so happy when Tanith’s mommy contacted me to photograph their second baby. I photographed her maternity and newborn portraits of their first baby Tieran. Sweet baby Tanith looks just like her big brother! Tanith was a DREAM to photograph! And she’s a rockstar baby! She never cried once through out the entire 3 hour session and she was the first baby ever to not soil any of the blankets! ha ha!

S & D: I am so happy for you guys! It was such a joy to photograph you and your beautiful family! Congratulations again!! xoxo
