Baby Landon | Newborn |Rancho Cucamonga

It’s always a beautiful thing when a baby is born! Michelle and Andy welcomed their bouncing baby boy into the world this summer. Landon just melted their hearts, as he did mine when I photographed their lovely family of three (now) at their home in Rancho Cucamonga. Although the sun was shinning bright that morning the three of them made their session look like a breeze! Lots of giggles and tender touches was the key to a simply sweet newborn session.

Landon has a very chic nursery with lots of grays and chevron patterns, but what his daddy wanted most was to get a shot of baby Landon on top of his Dodger’s baseball shirt. I’m a Dodger girl myself but I never thought of how cute a baby could look while surrounded by all of that baseball gear. Good job dad! Oh and to this family’s surprise their session was gifted by one of my former brides (she’s also a dear friend). How generous and absolutely thoughtful is that, right?!

Congratulations on your first born Michelle and Andy! May your stretches of sleep be long and your days till your next Dodger game be short:) 2015-08-30_00012015-08-30_00022015-08-30_00032015-08-30_00042015-08-30_00052015-08-30_00062015-08-30_00072015-08-30_00082015-08-30_00102015-08-30_00112015-08-30_00122015-08-30_00132015-08-30_00142015-08-30_00152015-08-30_00162015-08-30_00172015-08-30_00182015-08-30_00192015-08-30_00202015-08-30_00212015-08-30_00222015-08-30_00242015-08-30_00252015-08-30_00262015-08-30_00272015-08-30_00282015-08-30_00292015-08-30_00312015-08-30_00322015-08-30_00332015-08-30_00352015-08-30_00362015-08-30_00372015-08-30_00382015-08-30_00392015-08-30_0034

Our Babe | Part Two | Newborn Photography

What can I say, I’m a bit obsessed with taking photos of my kids. I just can’t help myself! It’s their little toes, squishy noses, and overall innocence that gets me. Like they say, “time flies” and boy it sure does! I get all emotional just thinking about how I started my photography business. When my son was born a little over four years ago I really wanted to capture every single possible moment of his life. It took us a little while to get pregnant so when he arrived I couldn’t help but take a daily, weekly, monthly, and each milestone photo. Once I started clicking I literally couldn’t stop. I knew I was passionate about photography when I was in high school, but I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed making people smile (especially my son) and capturing those beautiful images. Now I am so obsessed with trying to perfect the ideal balance between a pretty posed shot and a effortlessly beautiful candid image that I want to practice on my children all the time. Here are a little bit of both types of photos. And now that our family is complete I really want to make sure I get as many of their “growing up together” moments before they all part their ways into adult hood and all I’m left with are my memories and these photos of my beautiful babes! (I know those last couple of lines had my throat in a knot) 2015-07-13_00202015-07-13_00022015-07-13_00032015-07-13_00042015-07-13_00052015-07-13_00062015-07-13_00072015-07-13_00082015-07-13_00092015-07-13_00102015-07-13_00112015-07-13_00122015-07-13_00132015-07-13_00142015-07-13_00152015-07-13_00162015-07-13_00172015-07-13_00182015-07-13_00192015-07-13_00212015-07-13_00222015-07-13_00232015-07-13_00242015-07-13_0025

Our Babe | Five Days New |Newborn Photography

Our babe has finally arrived! Everett came into our world in the afternoon (just like his siblings) on a Friday. I knew that this being our third child we had no time to waste in order to get to the hospital. So at five a.m. in the morning of June 19th we zoomed off to meet our little man. Around seven hours and half a push later we met our sweet baby boy. Just the feeling of being alive and knowing that we had a safe and healthy delivery made my little heart explode with pure bliss. It was like the 4th of July had come early! I kissed his long tender fingers and caressed his sweet little head full of hair as I wept with tears of joy. He was so tiny, much smaller then my first two, but I was still in awe of how this big little human being grew in my belly for ten months. He was alive and well, I was alive and well and that’s all that mattered at his first moments of life. I thanked God for all of the beauty that surrounded me. So here we are a bit over two weeks later and this mister is going great!

Here is one of his individual newborn sessions at just five days new. He was awake and asleep for his photography debut which was exactly how I wanted it so I could get a bit of his personality shining through and of course those dreamy sleepy baby faces. Here is my take on a minimalist newborn session and to make it even more perfect (for my taste) I made this a black in white series, which I’ve always wanted try!

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

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!

Benjamin. Smash The Cake. Los Angeles Baby Photographer.

Darling Benny. I know your parents call you Benjamin, but I can’t help it that every time I hear your name I reminisce of when I used to swoon over Benjamin “The Jet” Rodriguez (aka Benny) from the Sandlot. I’m sure all the little girly tikes are already making your parents start to think of how they will keep your handsome self safe in your teen-years.

You can tell that his parents are his everything because no matter where I tried to position my camera, he always seemed to give his parents the first smile. After photographing his baptism, I was lucky enough to get a peek at his very modern nursery. This set the stage for his Smash session.  After speaking with his mama, we figured out that we were going to go for a clean, modern, and simple Smash the Cake session. Benjamin’s parents dressed up their little looker in the most fashionable outfits and accessories. I love the way the blue ikat fabric complimented his mustard pants. I was also dying over his polkadot bow ties!

Benjamin and his parents will celebrate his first birthday (as probably most summer babies do) near the cool water. They are going to have a quaint little birthday party at a remote beach near their home in Long Beach. In some of the photos below, Benjamin is wearing an adorably-orange crab beanie to represent his Zodiac birthday sign, Cancer. Out of curiosity, I looked up his sign and the best traits for this astrological sign are being charitable, loving, and faithful…more and more pluses for the ladies!

Happy Birthday Benny! I hope all your dreams come true!

I’ve been getting a lot of request from potential clients about what my current clients are wearing, so I am going to start to provide you all with the goods (style & swag).

Benjamin’s swag:

All clothing: Baby Gap

Bow ties: Jacadi Paris

White diaper cover: The Honest Company

The photos below just screams “uh-oh I got caught getting dirty while eating an entire cake.”

My favorite. Look at that smile!
It’s his birthday and he can cry if he wants to!He wanted to share…aww.Second fave! I love how the polkadots stand out in this black and white image.Hey, don’t stick your tongue out at us Mr!A grown-up (toddler-aged) little prince look.
