Avery Rose ~ 5 days new {San Diego, Ca Newborn Photographer}

check out this adorable little one I got to hang out with this weekend! She was the first of many babies born this week that I got to capture their first moments! Lucky me! She was so beautiful and sweet!

A & B: I really enjoyed meeting you and sweet little Avery this weekend. She is beautiful and you are blessed to have her as your own. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture your first moments together as a family. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! xoxo

Big Announcement! {Orange County, Portrait Photographer}

I am SO SO SO excited to introduce my new Studio Manager, Stephanie! Some of you may have met her already at your recent session with me. The rest of you will get to know her soon enough. Stephanie has been a dear friend of mine for a long time and she’s super passionate about photography-and I LOVE that! She’s been tagging along to almost all of my sessions recently and has been a HUGE help! Especially at my newborn sessions! Now I don’t know what I’d do without her!
In addition to assisting, Stephanie will be taking over my emails now handling all of the new inquiries. With her help we can now respond much quicker to everyone’s emails. I get so bogged down every day in just emails alone that now I can focus more on editing and designing! I’ve been a one woman team for so many years now doing all of this on my own, so this is a huge step for me and I’m thrilled to have Stephanie on board!

Proudly Introducing my new Studio Manager, Stephanie!

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

Some of the clothing the models were wearing was by Kait Emerson Designs. These clothes are DARLING in photoshoots! (Hint, Hint clients!!) Here are some of my favorites from the shoot!

Jessica ~ Class of 2012 {San Clemente, Ca Senior Portrait Photographer}

This beautiful girl drove all the way down from Lake Havasu City to have me take her senior portraits! She was familiar with the area since her boyfriend is stationed nearby. Jessica was a PRO in front of the camera! And my camera loved her! She was up for anything and I was super excited when she told me she wanted to use a surfboard in some of her photos. This was a first for me and I’m thrilled at how they turned out! She looks like a little Roxy model.

Jessica: Thank you for choosing me to photograph your senior portraits! What an honor it was. Such an exciting time in your life right now and I wish you the best of luck! You are stunningly beautiful and I had a blast with you last week! Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! xoxo

Avie ~ 3 months old {Irvine, Ca Family Portrait Photographer}

When I first chatted on the phone with sweet little Avie’s mommy about their upcoming session, I could feel the excitement from her through the phone. And then when I met her the day of the session, I could really see just how excited she was for this day! Which got me even more pumped for their session!

A & D: Thank you so much for choosing me to document your very first family portraits! It’s truly an honor! Little Avie is SO yummy and you are such a beautiful family! You can really see the love you have for each other and what amazing parents you are to Avie. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! xoxo

Jackson ~ 5 days new {Long Beach, Ca Newborn Photographer}

Well I was right! Shannon ended up giving birth to a beautiful baby boy! Sweet little Jackson! He was PERFECT for me! Never cried once or woke up at all. And he only took one break to eat. I was drooling over his chubby little cheeks! He for sure gave me baby fever!

S & J: What a pleasure it was to photograph adorable little Jackson yesterday! Thank you for allowing me to capture this special time in your lives! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek! xoxo
