Baby Jesiah

Remember when I took this beautiful woman's maternity photos here??  I finally got to meet her adorable little one about a month ago or so to catch a few photos of the new addition!  Isn't he just a doll??

Mason - 6 months

Oh how I love happy, smiley babies!!  They just make me feel all ooey gooey inside.  You honestly cannot help but smile back at a baby that smiles at you, it's literally impossible.  I dare one of you to try and prove me wrong.

:)

Speaking of smiley babies, I got to meet up with this adorable 6 month old baby yesterday for his next set of pictures through my "Baby's First Year" package (truly a great investment, that first year just holds SO MUCH change and it all happens so quickly).  Looking back at how he's grown, it just amazes me how much he's changed in just 6 months - Mason

Here's a little sneak peek at our session - he seriously couldn't stop smiling....except for when he was snacking on his wittle toes...priorities you know  :) :)

Josiah

I just ADORE my little....cousin?  Josiah's dad is my cousin, so whatever that makes him to me....I just love him!  Josiah and his parents, along with half of our local family, all came over to my place for Father's Day dinner last weekend.  Figured it would be easier to make dinner for my grandfather vs trying to fight the crowds at the restaurants.  Plus I got to play with my favorite little baby that I hadn't seen in over a month already!  Just as the night was winding down and the sunlight was just about gone, I realized I hadn't taken any pictures of this cutie and snatched my camera up and started shooting with a high ISO to capture the little bit of light that was left in my living room.

Here's a couple of the good ones I got...I couldn't decide which one I liked better of this first one - the color or b/w one...so I saved myself the stress and decided to post both. :)

I also had been chatting with Josiah's mom about some of the other pics I had taken of Josiah in the past, and she's been asking me for the pics I took at the hospital when he was born forever now and let's just say I'm an easily sidetracked, forgettable, procrastinator....so although little JoJo is 9 months old now, I just barely sent her the hospital pics the other day....better late than never. :)

I posted this one below on my Facebook page though and she just loved it. :)  She said she didn't have any pics at the hospital of the two of them where you could see both of their faces....I'm so glad I was able to give her this one at least. :)

Alessandra - 3 months!

I'm so glad that I decided to offer the Baby's First Year package to clients...it really is so awesome to be able to check back in with parents every 3 months to capture their baby on camera.  They just change and grow so much within that first year especially, it's such an honor to be able to help give the family these photo mementos of their child.  I have 3 clients on the package right now and little Alessandra below is one of them.

I just realized that I only blogged one photo from her newborn session...I must have just gotten sidetracked...I'm adding a few more of her newborn session photos at the end of this post. :)

This past weekend I trekked down to Orange County to meet with Alessandra's family for her 3 month pictures.  We got a nice variety of moods from this pretty girl...she smiled a bit, she quizzically stared a bit, and she even gave us the most adorable sad face ever...I know we don't typically like to see sad babies, but when they look this cute I think it's just as amazing as the smiley, happy faces! :) :)

And I just LOOOOVE this photo of Alessandra and Mom..I wish I had a photo just like this of me and one of my babies, it would definitely be huge and on my wall. :) :)

And as promised, here's some of those newborn shots from our first session :)

Alessandra

I'm so happy to say that I'll have the opportunity to watch this beautiful little girl below grow throughout at least her first year since her parents decided to go with my Baby's First Year Package!  Introducing Baby Alessandra. :) :)

Typically with infant sessions we try to have the baby sleeping...just generally makes for better pictures....but this little girl was not tired in the least bit.  :) :)

I absolutely love this shot though - I think it's going to be my favorite from the whole session. :) :)

Baby Mason

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to take photos of this absolutely adorable 1 month old baby boy.  He is just the perfect image of baby cuteness!  You'll be seeing more of him as he grows older as his parents decided to book my Baby's First Year package for him (NB, 3mo, 6mo, 9mo, 1yr photos).  I'm so excited to be able to see his growth through his first year, and hopefully years after that as well!! :) :)

 

CSN Stores!

I'm SUUUUUPER excited because CSN Stores contacted me to do a review on one of their products!  This website is amazing....they have over 200 store sites and you can literally find everything through them.  From tv tables, to picture frames, to fondue fountains - everything is at your fingertips. :)

The best part about this, is that I get to choose whatever I want from either their Cookeware.com site, Luxe By CSN site, or their All Modern site...the hardest part is that there were just way too many choices!  I can be so indecisive sometimes - I have been browsing their sites for DAYS now, trying to figure out what to get!!

I think I've finally settled on something though....I have the perfect wall vinyl art picked out that I'd love to put up in my home...and I've been wanting some wall vinyl FOREVER now....I figured this was the perfect opportunity to get some, and to share with everyone else the process of putting it up and the final results...

So....stay tuned for more!

And a picture for today!

This is my cousin's new baby, I took his pictures the other day and will post more soon! :)  Isn't he ADORABLE???

Ethan and Andrew (continued)

Good morning everyone :) :) Happy Fridaaaaay!! :)

Below are some more pictures from my shoot with this adorable little boy and his beautiful Mama. :) As well as his big brother and my son buddy-ing it up. :) They're all too cute!!
And at the end is another picture by Mr. Andrew (the big brother) - you may remember his last picture of me and his mom from earlier this year that I posted as well. :)
