Kim, Danny & Baby Ella. Classic Newborn. Los Angeles Newborn Photographer.

Oh dear me….what am I going to write about this darling couple? Kim, my husband’s good high school friend, kept joking (to her baby) about all the mishaps (well what she thought would be mishaps) that took place during our seriously completely fun newborn session. So Kim, I’ll write this:

Kim and Danny are new parents to baby Ella, a darling five-week old baby girl (and hopefully my daughter’s new playmate), with the most adorable chicly-like hair, all puffy and extra soft. Yes, although the lighting in the home wasn’t the best, we improvised on probably the most gorgeous warm and sunny day this March has seen. I thought Kim, being a nurse, would want to slap me for asking to take her little newbie outside…especially all nakie, but she was totally up for the idea. Thank you Danny for being so sweet and running back and forth inside for everything Kim and I needed. Kim, you sure have an awesome husband and dad! Danny and Kim speak to Ella as if she’s already five. I love it! Danny treats and talks to Ella as if she’s the queen of his world, while Kim is constantly gazzing at her daughter with such adoring love.

Throughout the session we chit chatted about her pregnancy and her non-medicated delivery- OUCH! You are so brave! Anytime we would discuss something serious like Kim’s delivery she would make me laugh all over agin. Like whenever Ella would cry, Kim gently told her daughter to ship up because Evie didn’t want a “wha-wha” baby and that “wha-wha” babies didn’t make good photos. I pretty much laughed till my stomach hurt. Kim you were killing me with your cuteness!

They love their “heart” (pet name for their daughter) fiercely and tenderly. Kim and Danny, I know the sleepless nights can be rough but in about a few months you’ll start REMing again. Just kidding, it may be longer, like with our little guy. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! I’m so happy for you and Danny!

Hellen, Rogerio & Baby Valentina. Classic Newborn. Los Angeles Newborn Photographer.

She’s a fashion designer and he is in finance. As I walked into their home my eyes popped out like one of those cartoon character’s that has gone gah gah over something. Yup that was me. I was drooling over all of Hellen’s fabrics. She had every color lace I could dream of so of course I had to incorporate them into our newborn session. Rogerio was a jokester and always wanted to do his impression of Ben Stiller in “Zoolander.” Then I laid my eyes on baby Valentina and I was bit by the love bug.  Valentina was born on February 12, 2014 weighing in at 6.11 oz and she was 20 inches long.

Her dad said, “I hope one day she becomes a Victoria Secret model. You know she get’s her looks after me.” We all knew he was kidding, but this is why I immediately feel for this little family. Their love and laughter kept the entire session light and effortless. Now before you make judgement on Rogerio for his comment, I must say his wife is so flawless she could be a VS model herself so we totally all knew he was kidding. Actually he should of said that she could be the next Ms. Universe because her background is already so unique (well I think so). Hellen is Italian and Rogerio is part German and part American, yet these two amazing parents are both from Brazil and I was intrigued even more whenI heard them speak in Portuguese to their daughter. So, yes Ms. Valentina, one day you might just be the next Ms. Universe, but for now, have a Happy First Month Birthday!

Emily & Ralph. Maternity. Orange County Maternity Photographer.

Emily and Ralph just gave birth to their adorable baby girl a few weeks ago.  I think I over-shared their beautiful maternity session on all my other social media sites that it slipped my mind to post on my blog. Well here you go… tons of loveliness from one of the sweetest couples.

Emily, had some pretty serious morning sickness during her first trimester. When she told me she was having a girl, I was like “Ahhh yes!” For some reason or another if you get morning sickness and you are having a girl it’s like at least ten times worse…but oh so worth the precious baby girl that’s on her way. Like first time parents Emily and Ralph are a bit nervous and anxious. I think they’ll do excellent because they’ve had practice watching over their nephew, Noah. He is the cutest little boy (and one of my adorable mini-clients). It just so happens that Noah’s parents are Diana and Ario (another extremely kind couple that are my clients as well). When Diana (Emily’s sister) first spilled the beans that she was pregnant again I was ecstatic, then she told me her sister Emily was also expecting. After that I found out they were both blessed with girls, but my favorite news from them was that I was going to be their maternity and newborn photographer. I just about fell to the floor when they mentioned that both baby girls were arriving only weeks apart from each other. They’ve got some cousin fun coming! Right now I know their homes are exploding with happiness and love. Congratulations Emily and Ralph!

Lydia & Kennis. Engaged. Los Angeles Wedding Photographer.

Lydia and Kennis met through family, but have stayed together for nine years because of their sweet and sincere love for one another. It was Memorial Day weekend when Kennis decided that it was the perfect moment to get this pretty girl’s attention. So he did, and from then on they have been best friends. Kennis is the kinda guy that wears his heart on his sleeve and Lydia is the kind of gal that says what her heart feels.

God and their spirituality has brought them closer together. Lydia, growing up as a Pastor’s daughter, made a commitment to her faith and continues to live by her love for Him while sharing and practicing her faith with Kennis. Before they moved in together, her father blessed their relationship with a beautiful informal ceremony. They are now ready to pronounce their love for one another in front of all of their family and friends this May. Lydia and Kennis you are too cute for words! I am honored to help you capture these memories that I’m sure will go along with many more lovely stories for your children and children’s children to hear. lb1lb2lb3lb4lb5lb6lb7lb8lb9lb10lb11lb12lb13lb14lb15lb16lb17lb18lb19lb20lb21lb22lb23lb24lb25lb26lb27lb28

Honora & Ryan. Engaged. Los Angeles Wedding Photographer.

She first set her eyes on him in an unfamiliar city. After college, she traveled a few hundred miles away to begin her career up North. Honora met Ryan met at work in San Francisco. They realized that they had so much more in common then just living in the Bay. For the past few years, their young urban love had flourished in San-Fran but they have decided to tie the know in down here in southern Cali, where Honora grew up.

During our session, I had asked the cute couple how they had gotten engaged and Honora laughed a bit saying, “Well this is probably the third or fourth time he proposed and now it just feels perfect.” We laughed a bit because we all chatted how timing is everything. Now they are back in her hometown of Rosemead it just seemed like the right time to get wed.

Honora and Ryan are seriously in love with each other as they were cuddling non-stop throughout their engagement session. I knew the best way to capture these moments of their love was to pay attention. They were always so playful with one another and I focused my attention on it all…their touches, laughs, and how easy going their conversations were with each other.I learned that their love is like a warm mug of hot cocoa that begins to heat up your hands as soon as you take a sip. While I watched their overflowing love, they told me some details about the wedding they have planned this coming June. They are urban folk that love escaping from the hustle and bustle of city life to relax anywhere surrounded by nature, so they will have lots of nature inspired elements incorporated into their wedding. I can’t wait to see what they have planned.

Thank you Honora and Ryan for being so fun and lovable!

My love turns THREE. Birthday. Personal.

Hello there my love. Happy 3rd Birthday! We are so proud of you! I’m not sure if it’s because your birthday is in the beginning of the year or because I have very high expectations for you (like all parents do…just maybe a tad bit more), but since you were born, you have met a lot of your milestones before the “expected” time. Except for rolling over. You never liked that (ha, ha). I am in awe of how you were potty trained by two, began speaking in complete complex sentences, and can understand two languages. You are smart because you were allowed to skip the 2 year old preschool room and enter the 3 year old class this school year. You are kind because although it may seem like you have favorite Aunties and Uncles, you pray for each single one of our family members at night, along with all your friends and neighbors, and everyone in the world that suffers from cancer…oh yeah, and the late Toby (Nani’s dog). You are important because you are a super big brother and take this job very seriously. Although at first you were a bit (who am I kidding…a “big a bit” jealous), you are the most helpful and caring big brother. You always make sure she has her “chupon” (pacifier) when she is crying, you like to pretend read your favorite book, Peter Pan, to her and you try to feed her even though she swats your hand away. You totally went through your terrible two’s, but I heard this year is the “Terrific Threes” so I can’t wait for what you have in store for us. We love you lots and lots. You are too good to be true. I want to keep you forever young, just like this, for my selfish self. Yet, I also can’t wait to see you grow in mind, body, and spirit. God bless you E-m-m-e-t-t (Yes, we are also proud you can spell your name)! We love you! Happy Birthday my handsome prince!!! Mommy loves you!eb18eb17eb16eb15eb14eb13eb12eb11eb10eb9eb8eb7eb6eb5eb4eb3eb2eb1

Aileen & Isaac. Married. Orange County Wedding Photographer.

Their love for one another was shared intimately with a few select family and friends. Aileen and Isaac had an private wedding at their family’s home in La Habra Heights. Every detail represented exactly what the couple enjoys eating, drinking, and their love of music.

Aileen had set her heart and eyes on Isaac long before he even knew her. Of course as fate has it their paths crossed and they fell in love.

On this day both families couldn’t be more thrilled as they “spread the love” when they were joined in matrimony. Isaac’s grandfather blessed their marriage with some very sweet and tender words. After the blessing family members shared stories about the couple and how they met. Then his brothers and her sisters continued to give examples of how Aileen and Isaac are true opposite attracts. Some of what they said went like this: Isaac, this tall and burly man, is actually very shy and timid. As for Aileen, she is petite but oh so fierce. Apart they completely different people both in stature and personalities, but together he becomes her calm, and she is his rock.  Today they joined families and celebrated love with great food (can’t forget those gourmet tacos), and drinks (Old fashion Coca-Cola and my favorite Micheladas)!

Congratulations Aileen & Isaac. May your love flourish…(and according to your family….start making babies hee he)!vb1vb2vb3vb4vb5vb6vb7vb8vb9vb11vb12vb13vb14vb15vb16vb17vb18vb19vb20vb21vb22vb23vb24vb25vb26vb27vb28vb29vb30vb31vb32vb33vb34vb35vb36vb37vb38vb39vb40vb41vb42vb43vb44vb45vb46vb47vb48vb49vb50vb51vb52vb53vb54vb55vb56vb57vb58vb59vb60vb61

Christine & Peter. Maternity. Orange County Maternity Photographer.

Who needs to take prenatal classes when both parents are nurses, right? Well these youngins, who were recently married, would rather spend their time on more important things, like food! Yes, Christine is a total foodie like me. During her off days from work, she likes to relax and just nibble on anything because she really hasn’t had any cravings…yet.  She also enjoys being waited on by her hubby, Peter, who loves taking selfies. I’m just saying….while I was focusing on my model, Peter was working his phone. You know I’m just messin’ Peter! This adorably cute couple is expecting their first child (It’s a boy) on April 7th. Woot! Woot! An Aries in the house!

Christine looked dashing in her bright pink dress. You can never go wrong in a maxi dress which she totally worked! Peter was an awesome sport and model, just posing away and allowing Christine’s belly to be the center of attention. Thank you Christine and Peter for allowing me to help you document this journey in preparing to welcome  your bundle of joy!
