Ruby. Smash. Los Angeles Smash The Cake Photographer.

Little Miss Ruby Zelda is in a league of her own. She is as adorable as her cute little orange Mexican huaraches. Ruby is turning one and here is her circus-themed Smash session. I kinda wanted to borrow all of her outfits, well for my daughter of course. Aside from all her smiles and silly faces, her favorite leisure activities are listening to songs (best sung by her dad) and dressing up in all of the creative little getups that her mom puts together. Happy Birthday Ruby Red (what I like to call her).

Annie, Don & Baby Max. Holiday. Los Angeles Family Photographer.

Meet Annie and her adorable family. We have oodles and oodles in common. We started photography as a second career/hobby, now its oh so much more than that.  We were pregnant at the same time, met one another at a photography workshop, and have an immense amount of crafty and creative ideas…way more than our poor minds and hubbies can handle. Annie, you are as cute as your name and I am glad we met and have become friends. I just want to eat up your son. He’s so cute, but I’ll settle for his sweet cheeks. Your husband is so kind and patient, please tell him I said hello!ab1ab4ab5ab6ab7ab8ab9ab10ab11

Patty, Art, Santino, Sebastian, Caleb. Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

The definition next to the word family should include: Safe. Of course when a family is together they should feel loved and have fun, but I think the most important feeling a child can have is feeling safety with his mother and father. Patty and Art have provided that safety net for their beautiful family of five. I could just tell the way they held each other, spoke to one another, and played throughout our session that Patty and Art have established a very secure, nurturing, and loving home for their three boys.

During this session on this beautiful Southern California afternoon, their three boys kept me on my toes. I had to think fast and photograph even faster but at the end of the evening the images we created seemed so serene that you would have never known I was getting in my 5K workout for the week. Along with all of their fun spirited personalities, Patty and Art’s boys were also affectionate and gentle toward each other. Patty and Art you have a gorgeous family that I can tell is filled with extra love and and tenderness. Excellent job! By the way Patty looks way too darn hot for her youngest only being four months. I mean! The photo below is my “favorite fave (think of my camera as a huge clock around my neck)!”

Diana, Ario & Baby Noah. Maternity. Orange County Maternity Photographer.

Hugs and kisses are definitely food for the soul. With a little princess on her way, this lovable family of three will soon be four. I have watched, prayed, and embraced Diana and Ario since before their first baby (Noah) was born. At about six months of age, he had to undergo Cranio surgery putting them through some tough times. Yet, no matter how many times their faith was tried, they continued to push forward and love on. Indeed they are blessed and during this season of hope and family, what could be a better gift then a newborn’s arrival? I’m certain that Noah will be a caring and protective older brother. During the session he smothered mama with love and played alongside dada. Although he is almost only two years young, you can tell by his little smirk that he knows his very own playmate will arrive soon. What’s even better is that Diana’s sister Emily is also expecting a girl and they are due just weeks apart. Lucky duckies I tell ya! These cousins are going to have a blast together. Diana and Ario, congratulations on your sweet pea! I can’t wait to meet her and dazzle up her newborn session with bows, sequins and of course some pink!

Vanessa, Rafael, Melodie & Eva. Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

There’s nothing like wearing warm fuzzy sweaters, sipping on hot cocoa, and spending pretty crisp mornings outdoors for some laughs in front of the camera with loved ones. Yup, these are some of my favorite things to do in autumn. I got to enjoy one of  these with this beautiful family on a recent chill October morning in Irvine. Baby Eva is the newest addition to this happy family. A little over a six months ago, I had the pleasure of taking photos of Vanessa’s perfect bump. Now, Eva (five months) is as bright-eyed as can be. Her sister, Melodie is surely getting brownie points with Santa this year because she’s a sweet, gentle, and caring older sister.

I couldn’t even handle all of the cuteness that Melodie and Eva were bringing to this session. They were wearing adorable outfits from Zara, which is only my favorite store (for kids) ever! Of course Vanessa and Rafael’s affection for their girls also made these images beautiful. Take a look! As always, thank you Vanessa and Rafael for allowing me to help you capture your growing family.

 vb1This one is my favorite. I love the way they all are just so enamored with their newbie.

Richard, Melody & Baby Jude. Family. Los Angeles Family Photographer.

Raising a child takes more than a cool new wipey-warming gadget, some super soft and eco-friendly swaddling blankets, and definitely more than a time saving baby bullet (which I love by the way). Nurturing babies takes every drop and ounce of sweat, tears, and even blood to help these adorable little creatures thrive. No matter how much I try, it’s so hard to explain the love and emotion that goes into caring for the little being you created. But Richard and Melody know exactly what I’m talking about. Their touch and embrace shows how they are pouring their heart and soul into raising their handsome baby, Jude. They wanted to catch baby Jude’s “babiness” before he continued to grow any faster. Jude is almost six months now and sure is growing like a rose bush in the Spring. Not too many months ago, I remember taking his newborn photos and he was just a little bitty thing. Now he’s filling out and is coming into his own personality. He gave us smiles that the little baby girls would surly swoon over. Just take a look.
Melody is one talented chic. She made this headdress to represent her, and now her son’s, Native American side.My favorite. Just look at his smiles-squishy and cute!

Diandra, Robert & Baby Damien. Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

We usually think of going “green” as the good ole motto “reduce, reuse, recycle.” Well, this cute family of three takes going green to a whole other (baby) level. So what place could be better to take their family photos than in a natural trail like this one in Orange County? Diandra, Robert and even baby Damien love to save Mother Earth. They uses cloth diapers, Damien plays with wooden toys (along with a few stuffed animals here and there), and Diandra nurses her sweet little baby boy. They also try to eat organic foods from either their family’s self-sustained garden or their local farmer’s market.

Unfortunately, Diandra had some complications in the beginning of her pregnancy that prevented her from taking maternity photos. However, she really wanted to get some intimate pictures of her and Damien since she never had the opportunity. She came to me with the idea of taking photos of her nursing, and I thought what a beautiful moment to show the bond that a mother and child share. So, we literally set up tent and I started snapping away.

Diandra, Robert, and Damien, thank you for making this session so easy going and fun loving.
These two are my favorite. I love the way he is looking at me like, “you are staring at me with that thing in my face, I’m gonna stare right back at you.” Except his stare is much cuter!I love his crying face!

Lakamraju Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

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.
