Happy 3rd Birthday my love!  After three years I still can’t believe you are mine! You make me smile with all of your adorable sass, jokes, and oh so interesting way you try to use big words like “serious” and “disappointed.” When I knew I was having a girl I dreamt of pink, frills, and of course Hello Kitty. Although I get super excited when you like the same things that I hoped you would, all of that doesn’t even matter anymore. All I want is for you to stay this small as long as you could. I will tell you the truth, life at times will get hard my love, but I hope I can create as many happy memories for you to look back on when it does get rough. I’m looking forward to more mommy-and-me dates, late night conversations, and sharing what we love best- sweets! Remember I will love you forever and be here always. Never forget you have your Nana’s spirituality, Grandma’s impeccable work-ethic, Nani’s creativity and your Mommy’s drive. With all these great women that came before you, you have the world ahead of you!

You are a beauty inside and out, smart, and kind! I love you!

Naya | Newborn | At Home Session

One of my favorite fams had another baby girl and they are just head-over-heels for her! Welcome to my family too, the Eva Marie Photo newborns family that is! I adore watching, photographing, and interacting with all these adorable babes and their families! It’s amazing to watch all these sweetie pies from the beginning to toddlerhood and on. So, thank you dear family for allowing me to help capture another one of your beautiful babes!

Naya did you know your big sister was also photographed by me too? Well she was and you are just a sweet, delicate, and precious as you! Your mommy and daddy love their girls without a doubt, so much so that they’d spend a couple of hours of their free time with me so that they could get these memories of you to cherish forever and ever. Naya, soon you’ll recognize your sister’s adorable giggle every time she’s trying tease your daddy by running away from him. Then you will grow a little more and you’ll probably only feel one hundred percent comfortable in your mommy’s warm embrace as she looks down at you with such an overwhelming sense of joy. And then get ready for your daddy to throw you up high in the sky just to make you smile. Don’t worry he’ll always be there to catch you, just like he does with your sister. Oh and let’s talk about how your sister is looking forward to being your very best friend, to tell secrets to and to play with under the sun in your big backyard. Welcome to the world Naya!

Jolene | Newborn | At Home Session

J is for Jolene. Baby Jojo is as precious as they come! I think I’ll call her Jolene the Jewel! She was so teeny tiny, or maybe I just forgot how small newborns are, she reminded me of just a bundle of cute little bits. I also love her family to pieces. They are my sweet friends and our children are the best of friends. Again and again, I just feel so full of joy and humbled when I’m asked to photograph any family, especially my dear friend’s. Can I mention how Jolene is not only a pretty peach, but already sleeps through the night, loves her nappy naps, and only fusses when she wants her mama’s arms. Yes, she’s a dream!

Why is baby number two always so easy peasy? Maybe it’s because as parents we are confidant, feel like veterans, and we know that we can actually successfully keep a mini-human alive for 365 days and more (unlike my darn succulents). lol

Congratulations to my friends and their now even more adorable family! Oh and take a lookie at their sister pictures. Can I just take sister pictures all day every day?!2016-07-24_00142016-07-24_00012016-07-24_00022016-07-24_00032016-07-24_00042016-07-24_00052016-07-24_00062016-07-24_00072016-07-24_00082016-07-24_00092016-07-24_00102016-07-24_00112016-07-24_00122016-07-24_00132016-07-24_00152016-07-24_00162016-07-24_00172016-07-24_00182016-07-24_00192016-07-24_00202016-07-24_00212016-07-24_00222016-07-24_00232016-07-24_00242016-07-24_00252016-07-24_00262016-07-24_00272016-07-24_00282016-07-24_00292016-07-24_00302016-07-24_00312016-07-24_00322016-07-24_00332016-07-24_00342016-07-24_00352016-07-24_00362016-07-24_00372016-07-24_00362016-07-24_00372016-07-24_00382016-07-24_00392016-07-24_0040

Ryder |Newborn

Parenthood is one of the most fascinating times in a life. It’s filled with an amazing amount of love and fear all in the same moment. The love is unmeasurable, why? This tiny human was created from two individuals, their parents, with all of their heart and soul. Then a tiny bit of fear sets in because your babe is actual a real little human that you must help grow and nourish every single day. Luckily Erika and Ryan have already passed that stage of fear and they are practically pros. They’ve already started with their sweet and adorable daughter. Now let’s welcome their scrumptious baby boy Ryder. His cheeks, button nose, and oh that “Patene Pro V” kinda good hair!

Can I just say that these two parents are one of my favorites! I feel like I’ve been with them from day one, well I guess I kinda have. I was honored to photograph Erika and Ryan’s love on their wedding day, then came family portraits, and now baby number two.  Congratulations Erika and Ryan on your adorable family!

Alma | Maternity |Orange County

When it’s time it’s time. The journey into parenthood is different for every single mother, father, and couple. Along that path into creating a new life, there is always so much love behind each dream and prayer. Alma and her husband have patiently waited and now they are bursting with joy because it’s their time to bring a new life, new love, and new family member into their homes and hearts.

I always feel so honored when my clients share their walk into becoming parents, whether it’s the first, third, or fifth time. We all have our stories and I love hearing each and every one. Then what story do I give? If they are first-timers, then I share my number one (which are really two or three ) mommy-tip; 1. Use a pacifier. It’s great to prevent SIDS and soothes them when you’re pulling your hair out at 3am from nursing straight for the past three hours. 2. Buy a rock-n-play and use the heck out of it. My children slept in that thing like a snug bug in a rug! 3. Definitely don’t be afraid to use all the necessary resources to maintain nursing. It’s tough, but so are we!

And oh their session was heart-warming with the sweetest and most enduring touches, which I know their babe will receive forever! Just take a look!

Isabella | First Birthday | Whittier

Isabella’s first birthday photo session was a piece of cake! Her brightness shined throughout the entire session. Her mommy used a lovely pastel pink color palette that perfectly represented Isabella’s birthday spirits. Of course her parents would go all out, with a gorgeous laced-teepee, to add to her special session, which was uber chic! Although I think Isabella has mommy’s beauty, she’s totally daddy’s little girl. It was her daddy that held each one of her squishy little fingers every time her feet became unsteady and when dirtied her pretty in pink dress he was there to brush it off and give her encouraging kisses. At the end of this fun fantasy-like shoot baby Isabella was all pooped out and ready for some serious napping zzz’s! 2016-07-10_00122016-07-10_00112016-07-10_00102016-07-10_00092016-07-10_00082016-07-10_00072016-07-10_00062016-07-10_00052016-07-10_00042016-07-10_00032016-07-10_00022016-07-10_00012016-07-10_00132016-07-10_00142016-07-10_00152016-07-10_00162016-07-10_0017

Multigenerational Family Session | Family | Whittier

I love Whittier! Great food, trails, and community, not to mention adorable families! Sarah and Nick are close friends of mine, so when Nick’s mom, Joan, contacted me to help her document three generations of Alarcon’s I was not only honored but all in! This multigenerational family session included Joan her two sons and their growing families. In all honesty I love the typical family session but I think it’s incredible to see multiple generations come together because of this phenomenal quote, “{photographs are to}…freeze a moment in time, preserve a family’s history, and ensure future generations will com to know their ancestors.” We all need memories like theses; the kind we can print, hang on our walls, and as time passes feel a sweet sense of relief that they hold a special place in our hearts and homes.

Nihaal | Family & First Birthday Smash | Orange County

The Pooni family looking all spiffy in cobalt blue, a first birthday, and well my favorite open field made for a pretty perfect summer session! Let me introduce to Nihaal. He turned one over the summer and I was the lucky one to meet such a character. Hands down Nihaal makes the best faces ever! He amused us with smiles and puckers throughout his entire birthday session. If someone had a camera on me too you’d see us all cracking up. I have a feeling he’s going to be the life of the party one day. Until then here are some of my favorites of the lovely Pooni family of three.
