Vanessa, Rafael & Melodie. Maternity Session. Orange County Maternity Photographer.

February 16, 2013

The most incredible thing about love is that it continues to grow. Just when you think your heart can’t get anymore complete than this…it grows with Love. Vanessa and Rafael have had their hearts and arms wrapped around their daughter, Melodie for almost six years now. Just like Vanessa’s belly keeps expanding with their growing baby, so will the love they share. Vanessa and Rafael will welcome their second baby girl, Eva Juliet (oh how I love that name) into their world this May. The funny thing is how little Melodie wasn’t quit ready at first. Vanessa said that when they first told Melodie she was going to be a big sister, she asked if they could send the baby back. All they had to do was tell the Dr. they didn’t want the baby. Simple right? Little girls and the things they say…Melodie would also constantly ask her mommy if she was sure there really was a baby in there. Hilarious but oh so cute! I think someone felt comfortable with her only child status. Now Melodie is thrilled with becoming a big sister. And who wouldn’t be? She gets to dress her up, experiment with make-up, and blame all the mess on her little sister (or at least that’s what I used to do).

Congratulations Vanessa, Rafael, and Melodie. May your hearts overflow with Love.
My favorite.Vanessa is so crafty. She made this sign and put together a few more props.So gorgeous, I can’t take it! My favorite.

Valentine’s Day Neon Session. Los Angeles Family Photographer.

February 11, 2013

The day of love will be here very soon! Okay I must admit I love this holiday too! I guess I’m just a holiday fanatic. I adore Valentine’s day for three simple reasons.

1.Pink
2.Hearts
3. Pink Sweet Treats

Need I say anymore? No. Last year I had both outdoor and indoor mini photo sessions for my son’s first Valentine’s Day. For the outside photos I used red balloons and red hearts. When I photographed the inside session, there was so much light-pink that I thought I was inside of a cotton candy machine. This time I wanted to go bold and bright. I wanted to add a little more creativity so I thought, what would be cuter then a little half naked painter trying to create a picture for his mama? Well, nothing is better-duh! So yes the torturous mama that I am had my little guy flex his muscles and show off his rather talented painting strokes in the brisk cold of a February afternoon. I promise that when he gets older and asks me why I snapped these silly photos of him every Valentine’s day, I will tell him because I LOVED HIM so much that I couldn’t think of a better Valentine’s Day gift to receive than a charming photo of my son.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Lakamraju Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

February 2, 2013

The cold winter gave way to a beautiful day for this lovely family session. I started the afternoon with Jyotsna, Sameer and their adorable baby girl in a nature trail near her sister’s home. Jyotsna’s cute little family was in town from San Francisco visiting her sister and parents in Orange County. After we had a mini session at the nature trails we headed down the street to join the rest of the family. While in town Jyotsna really wanted to capture the new generation (her daughter and her sister’s son) with the old generation (her parents). The Lakamraju family created some beautiful memories that day. Throughout our time together they seemed to generate a celebratory vibe of just enjoying the presence of each other and loving life.
This one is my favorite. The family is all together embracing each other.

Congratulations Juan and Stephanie! You seriously have one cutie pa-to-tie on your hands!!

By the way, Stephanie and Juan are originally from Queens, New York and will be heading back there this month. It feels kinda cool being able to take photos that will hang on walls and be shown to family and friends on the other side of the country.

This one is my favorite! She looks so pretty and peaceful.

Those lips!

Mueller Family. Holiday Session. Los Angeles Family Photographer.

December 19, 2012

Maybe it’s the cold weather or all of the hopes for the new year, but there’s just something about the holidays that brings family and friends closer together. Well, whatever it is, this year I am very blessed to have many new friends in my life, especially Nea, from Laced Blissed and Love Photography. We met a little over a half a year ago and now we aren’t just colleagues, but friends that text, talk, and hang out when we can (or when we have time…she has triplets) to share our happy, funny and silly stories and cheese. Nea, I feel blessed to have you in my life as a friend and someone I can count on at midnight to share a my concern or ask a question about anything from motherhood to photography.

I was honored when Nea asked me to photograph her family, not just her adorable triplets and husband, but the whole entire Mueller fam bam. I thought wow, I hope I do their gorgeous family justice. Everyone was so fun, stylish, and beautiful. Mueller family (Mr. and Mrs. Mueller, Leinea, Moriah, Elisha, and your seven grandchildren), thank you for allowing me to see a glimpse into your family’s life. I hope you love the photos…because I sure do! Merry Christmas and I hope you have a fabulous new year!

Mr. and Mrs. Mueller seriously look like they could be siblings to their children, or at least a young aunt and uncle.
Right here you two look like movie stars.I thought Jayden was her daughter, not granddaughter. Then I was nicely corrected and we all had a good laugh.
Moriah just had this sweet little pea a couple of months ago and look at her in that dress…umm not fair. Moriah, you rock on with your bad self!She continues to put all the new mommies to shame. I’m not hating, I just want to know her secret….heheheThe triplets….ahh I love them. Can they get any cuter in their little swaged out velvet suits? Nea, hello hottness!And now the Mueller son…this family has amazing genes. FOREAL!
So sweet.
Another fierce couple.Mr. and Mrs. Mueller, you have a beautiful family.I was a little nervous that we couldn’t get the triplets to envision me as an elf…or maybe they did, but a scary elf. Ha!

Amber Jo & Charles. Maternity. Los Angeles Maternity Photographer.

December 17, 2012

During the Christmas season, I like to hold on a little tighter to everyone I love. It definitely is the most wonderful time of the year, but its not because of the giddy songs, or tubs of butter that go into cookie making, or even the finely wrapped Christmas presents under the tree. This time is the most wonderful because we spend quality minutes, hours, and days just being with our families. Life just seems a million times more precious when a new baby is ready to come into the world. Amber Jo and Charles will also snuggle a little closer, kiss a little longer, and hold hands a little tighter because this February they will be blessed with a sweet baby boy.

The Crimes have been married for almost six years now and are both in the nursing field, so this awesome couple is truly prepared and ready to welcome their little one at the end of this winter season. Amber Jo currently works at UCLA medical center and Charles attended my alma mater, UCIrvine, for a bit and then finished up at UCLA… so you know baby Cayden will have some blue and gold running through his veins (personally I love my cardinal and gold 🙂 Fight On!). During the session, this cute couple was super prepared with their own baby props, a change of outfit, and a ton of ideas to help create a personalized maternity session. The Crimes thought it would be fun to add a little Christmas flair into their session, so we found the biggest, baddest tree around and made it happen! Guess what? The tree is 100% real too. The Americana doesn’t mess around! Amber Jo and Charles also wanted to get some photos inside Barnes and Noble with the one of the trendiest and cutest books of the year, The Elf on the Shelf. I can’t wait to use this book and little elf with my son when he gets a little bit older. We ended the session with some gorgeous silhouette photos in a very unexpected location…try to figure out where 🙂

Congratulations Amber Jo and Charles! You two (I mean three) are adorable! I’m so excited to also be able and photograph little Cayden when he arrives.

See what I mean, biggest tree ever!Little Cayden is going to have one good looking grin on him. C is for Cayden.These two, always so studious. Amber Jo, you are one gorgeous mama to be!I posted two similar pictures because I adore it. Love, love, love!He’s already going to rock the Toms!
I can’t get enough of your beauty, Amber.My second favorites.

Janelle. First Year. Orange County Baby Photographer.

December 8, 2012

This little one is cute and she knows it! Janelle, will turn the big ONE this December. Along with her cuteness and sass, Nellie (as her parents call her) looked adorable in her embroidered Mexican dress and hot pink flower. To add a little icing to the cake, mommy and daddy brought along a bunch of Mexican-themed accessories. There was also another theme that I oh so loved, PINK! Her hot pink dress and blanket were perfect to enhance Nellie’s bright personality. Maybe just once I had to jump up and down, and act like a crazy person to get a giggle out of her. Most of the times when I do this, kids just look at me like I’m some weirdo with a monstrous camera in their face. Despite the fact that it was raining off and on during our entire session, Nellie was also super well behaved. Nellie is in love with her parents just as much as they are with her. And I’m in love with their cute little family!

Happy first Birthday Janelle! Remember you owe my son a play date! Hee He he.
Just excuse her twinkle toes. She’s quite the flexible one for sure!My favorite! Can a photo be cute and comical at the same time? You decide, but I think so. Nellie…stop screaming at me, I’m sorry for taking so many photos of you..ahhh!Seriously. This has to be my second favorite because daddy is just way into giving his little baby girl the biggest smooch ever. Love it!I think this one is hilariously cute because she looks like she throwing up “West Side”…lol Janelle, has mommy been teaching you baby signing? Look at all these pretty colors and Janelle just adds even more prettiness.Looks like she got caught. Caught being cute.Sweetness.
