Ellie Olivia | Newborn | Whittier

She has made them complete. This little darling bundle has turned them into a family and their house into a home.

Ellie, oh sweet Ellie Olivia came into their world as tiny as can be, but also as strong as her mama and all of her auntie team! Little Ellie has made them party like rocks stars, staying up into the wee hours of the night, but as they doze on her precious face they don’t mind at all. Their every existence now is to help you grow smart, kind, and intelligent. By the looks of their instagram feed they are doing just that and a fine job at it too! {You all know I love my insta!}

Congratulations again newbie parents, you are doing an amazing job! Thank you for selecting me to help you capture some of these first moments with your beautiful family. I’m honored that I get to photograph such milestones in your lives, from your wedding to now this, your first child. Much love to all!

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 | 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!

Athena | Newborn | San Pedro

Motherhood is a beautiful and most rewarding experience in life. Before becoming a mother you can imagine, dream, and some might even cringe at what it’s like, but being a mother is a million times better with heart explosions every day (I know so cliché). It’s the fact that this being is here because of you, because you nurtured it for ten months, and then after this gorgeous babe entered the world you continued to love, feed, and help him or her (or both) grow. The baby, child, teen, and so on carry parts of your personality, morals, nose, hair and eye color, character, and everything else in between. Now being a first-time mother is well even more the bomb, (lol is that still cool to say???) because all these expererinces are brand new with unknown end results that most of the time end in laughter, like hearing tiny baby farts, or just plain warm and fuzzy feelings when your babe says your name. Motherhood is a wonderful thang ya’ll!

I thought I’d write a little longer then usual and  dedicate this portion to the mamas because we are in May, but pretty much the same goes for dads except the whole child bearing portion that is basically allows your babe to enter into the world (Ha! You know I’m just being hard on you dads.)

Meet baby Athena again! I recently had the honor to photograph her Day After Birth session, which was an amazing experience being on the other side of that hospital bed! Here she is again just as adorable or even more because her personality is starting to shine through after just twenty-one days of life. Congratulations Cindy and Herman on your first babe. She’s just a doll!

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!

Kim, Danny & Baby Ella. Classic Newborn. Los Angeles Newborn Photographer.

Oh dear me….what am I going to write about this darling couple? Kim, my husband’s good high school friend, kept joking (to her baby) about all the mishaps (well what she thought would be mishaps) that took place during our seriously completely fun newborn session. So Kim, I’ll write this:

Kim and Danny are new parents to baby Ella, a darling five-week old baby girl (and hopefully my daughter’s new playmate), with the most adorable chicly-like hair, all puffy and extra soft. Yes, although the lighting in the home wasn’t the best, we improvised on probably the most gorgeous warm and sunny day this March has seen. I thought Kim, being a nurse, would want to slap me for asking to take her little newbie outside…especially all nakie, but she was totally up for the idea. Thank you Danny for being so sweet and running back and forth inside for everything Kim and I needed. Kim, you sure have an awesome husband and dad! Danny and Kim speak to Ella as if she’s already five. I love it! Danny treats and talks to Ella as if she’s the queen of his world, while Kim is constantly gazzing at her daughter with such adoring love.

Throughout the session we chit chatted about her pregnancy and her non-medicated delivery- OUCH! You are so brave! Anytime we would discuss something serious like Kim’s delivery she would make me laugh all over agin. Like whenever Ella would cry, Kim gently told her daughter to ship up because Evie didn’t want a “wha-wha” baby and that “wha-wha” babies didn’t make good photos. I pretty much laughed till my stomach hurt. Kim you were killing me with your cuteness!

They love their “heart” (pet name for their daughter) fiercely and tenderly. Kim and Danny, I know the sleepless nights can be rough but in about a few months you’ll start REMing again. Just kidding, it may be longer, like with our little guy. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! I’m so happy for you and Danny!
