Isaac | First Year Photos & Cake Smash | Los Angeles

How does a year fly by so quickly? Everyone always says it, but parents don’t actually feel it until it’s time for their child’s first year photos. I’ve had so much fun hanging out with and photographing Isaac’s family since before he was even born. I welcomed them into my “photography family” as I like to call it over a year ago when I photographed their maternity session, then came newborn photos, holiday sessions, and now this…year one for baby Isaac! I know these adorable babes don’t realize that I know them so well, especially when their parents are trying to stuff cake into their mouths and I’m some weird lady that makes silly sounds and obnoxious faces, but in the end we all have a good laugh and memories to literally last a lifetime.

Isaac had three boyish and super festive outfits for his session. He’s been teething for a while so until dad threw him up in the air is when he was willing to show us his pearly growing whites. But his pouty lips is all I would need to frame! And for his finale, he looked back at us with one finger up in the air, as if he was saying, “you put me through three outfit changes, had me eat a whole cake, and you did this all in front of a very public audience…I’m going to flip you all the number one!). Gotta adore this kid! Happy first Isaac!!!2015-04-14_00012015-04-14_00022015-04-14_00032015-04-14_00042015-04-14_00052015-04-14_00062015-04-14_00072015-04-14_00082015-04-14_00092015-04-14_00102015-04-14_00112015-04-14_00122015-04-14_00132015-04-14_00142015-04-14_00152015-04-14_00162015-04-14_00172015-04-14_00182015-04-14_00192015-04-14_00202015-04-14_00212015-04-14_00222015-04-14_00232015-04-14_00242015-04-14_00252015-04-14_0026

Baby Emilee | Newborn

February 18, 2015 baby Emilee brought extra love into the Rogers’ family. This adorable trio (plus their loving doggie) is now a proud family of four. Knowing the Rogers’ for some time now it was my pleasure to help them celebrate the new life they brought into this world and their newly purchased home with this lifestyle newborn photo session. Hurray! Big brother is also as ecstatic as can be! His smiles definitely charmed me throughout our session, so much so that I wanted to put him in my pocket and take him home. Congratulations Rogers’, you sure are a picture perfect looking family!

Baby Oliver | Newborn Lifestyle | Huntington Beach

Baby Oliver. Twenty-one days young. Connie and Oliver (Sr. aka dad) had been very anxious to meet their little bundle. Cupid must have saved an extra arrow for these three because Oliver arrived, just as scheduled, on February 14, 2015. Then the love bug hit them and they were hooked! Making his grand entrance into the world Oliver came in weighing just a little over 9 whopping pounds. How in the heck did this chunk of love come out of his little mama? You can see how adorable and tiny Connie looked during her maternity session a few months ago.

Both parents wanted to make sure to capture as many photos as they could of their first baby.  They requested that I focus mostly on their handsome babe and well, I did. The photo below is a sweet one of all three of them that I snuck into the session. The rest are of all the most precious itty bitty parts and curiously cute faces of Oliver.2015-03-10_00012015-03-10_00022015-03-10_00032015-03-10_00042015-03-10_00052015-03-10_00062015-03-10_00072015-03-10_00082015-03-10_00092015-03-10_00102015-03-10_00112015-03-10_00122015-03-10_00132015-03-10_00142015-03-10_00152015-03-10_00162015-03-10_00172015-03-10_00182015-03-10_00192015-03-10_00202015-03-10_00212015-03-10_00222015-03-10_00232015-03-10_00242015-03-10_00252015-03-10_00262015-03-10_00272015-03-10_00282015-03-10_0029

Maritza, Son & Baby Maxson. Family. Los Angeles County Family Photographer.

Maxon’s name is derived from the combination of his dad’s (Son) and grandfather’s (Max) first names. How special is that? Right! This good looking little guy just recently celebrated his first birthday and his parent’s spoiled him with an entire session dedicated to his sweet cheeks! Besides the typical dude activities, like playing ball and pushing things around, Maxson also enjoys reading a novel or two, just kidding. But, he does love books! Maxson’s parents took awesome to a whole other level by teaching in not one, not two, but there languages. Maxson is currently learning English, Spanish and Vietnamese! Rock on parents, rock on!!! One of his and his mommy’s favorites is Love You For Always. What a tear jerker (It gets me every SINGLE time)! Maritza and Son wanted to stay local so I met them up at their neighborhood park. They really enjoy their weekly walks to and from this park. Maritza also loves taking Maxson to Mommy and Me classes on Mondays. Interesting fact… Maritza and I have our littles in the same class and we didn’t even know it until the second session. Small small world! Now I’m so excited that my daughter has this adorable and photogenic little tike as her new friend. Happy, Happy First little man!

Frida. Smash. Whittier Lifestyle Photography.

This little nugget was a bit of an overachiever in the cake smashing department. Frida is timid, at first, then she starts working in the smiles, and bam! she finally comes out of her delicate shell and is the life of her own cake smashing party. In a few weeks Frida is going to have a totally cutesy girly themed and colored “picnic” first birthday party. The invite is not your typical red and white gingham blanket with primary colored decor and ants crawling on top of grapes and cheese. Nope, it’s very girly girl with lots of pastels and chevron, polk a dots, lemonade and of course watermelon. Nothings wrong with the boy version of a picnic party, but to transform it into something that’s can be called a pretty picnic is pure genius. Good job mama! Happy first birthday little Miss Frida!

Abbie. Newborn. Los Angeles Newborn Photographer.

Precious little Abbie was born a few days early. She arrived on April 30th when her due date was May 2nd. This gal weighed  6.17 pounds and 19 inches. Her mommy, Erika, may have had a c-section, but bounced right back in no time. Go mom! To say I’m delighted for Erika and Ryan is an understatement because in just a few months I will photograph this sweet family of three’s  (now) wedding. We were all chatting about how adorable Abbie might look as a flower girl. I think she deserves that job for sure! Stayed tuned folks, stay tuned! Congratulations Rafael family you make having a newborn seem effortless!2014-05-22_00322014-05-22_00422014-05-22_00392014-05-22_00412014-05-22_00402014-05-22_00252014-05-22_00262014-05-22_00272014-05-22_00292014-05-22_00302014-05-22_00352014-05-22_00582014-05-22_00332014-05-22_00342014-05-22_00312014-05-22_00282014-05-22_00372014-05-22_00432014-05-22_00452014-05-22_00442014-05-22_00472014-05-22_00462014-05-22_00482014-05-22_00502014-05-22_00492014-05-22_00512014-05-22_00522014-05-22_00532014-05-22_00562014-05-22_00542014-05-22_00552014-05-22_00572014-05-22_0036

Lisa, Aldous & Baby Amelia. Classic Newborn. Los Angeles Newborn Photography.

A guy walks into a bar. He orders a drink, gets married and has a baby… just thought I’d start off with some Friday Humor, but that’s actually how Aldous met Lisa. Aldous, a native Californian works for the UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica and Lisa is an Interior Designer who moved to Cali 13 years ago from England. This very contemporary couple wanted a lifestyle newborn session with their darling nine-day old daughter, Amelia, at their home in West Hollywood. As I entered their house, I thought, WOW! Lisa must be secretly spying on one of my Pinterest boards. Ha, Ha. Oh my little ego…she is an amazing interior designer! As new parents they had their concerns about the usual: sleepless nights, diaper rash, and coming to the realization that they are in charge of another human being. I still pinch myself thinking about how I’m the boss and responsible for two itty bitty people.

Have you ever heard a real accent from England? Well I fell in love with Lisa’s. I really enjoy listening to someone’s accent. I guess it kind makes me feel like I’m traveling to another city, state, or country. Sometimes I go overboard with them too. I started to hear an accent in Aldous’ voice and asked where he was from. He chuckled a bit and said it must be a Santa Monica one…oh Aldous you are a character. I crawled inside my little hole and from then on vowed never to ask about accents unless I was in another country…lol. Baby Amelia was just a dream. Only nine days old, but she already had a good amount of chubs on her. She was gorgeous and very wide awake for a little one that wasn’t even two weeks old. Although most parents (and myself) want their newborn images to seem effortless with their baby sleeping peacefully in their arms, I think it’s also sweet when their newborn is gazing into their parents’ eyes. Aldous wasn’t sure if his sweet Amelia’s baby blues were going to change so he asked me to try and capture those while she was awake. That is another perk of having your little one awake during their session. You get to capture their gorgeous sparkling eyes.

This amazing home had so many beautiful backdrops, I was in backdrop heaven. Just scroll down and take a peek of Amelia’s super chic nursery.

Congratulations Lisa and Aldous! You have a lovely family!
