Bodhi. Smash. Los Angeles Baby Photographer.

January 3, 2014

As soon as I walked in, this little nugget treated me like I was his sweet heart. He batted his gorgeous big eyes and wanted to play right away. He really knows how to impress a girl. Then his mom and grandmother informed me he likes “all” girls. There went my little ego. I’m sure this stud muffin isn’t going to have any problem in the ladies department when he gets older. Throughout his big Smash session, he wanted to play, laugh, crawl and then giggle some more. Then came time for the big smasharoo and as you can see, he took his job very serious. Bodhi ate, smashed, pounded, flipped and then finally demolished his first birthday cake. Besides it getting all over the place, a bit did actually get in his mouth. Happy Birthday Bodhi! bb1 bb2 bb3 bb4

Jr. Smash. Los Angeles Family Photographer.

December 24, 2013

Look at him! Happy first birthday little Junior. Lily, Jr.’s mama, asked me to help her come up with a winter wonderland theme for her winter baby. So I thought…..and thought…..and came up with a white winter camping concept. As soon as I saw Jr. change into his Smash outfit, I was floored. Too adorable I tell you! The hat, suspenders, and leggings….Oh my!. I’m glad I choose to go with all white because it matched just perfect with Jr who gave us little smiles here and there, but once his tummy was filled with the deliciousness of the cake he wasn’t shy anymore. Happy birthday little man!

Carmen Olivia. Smash The Cake. Los Angeles Baby Photographer.

October 7, 2013

I’m in love and in awe. Olivia, (as her parents call her) has been just as adorable since before she was even born. I’ve photographed this pretty thang when she was in her mama’s belly, just a wee newborn, and now as this precious one year old. Seriously, I love what I do!

For Smash sessions I allow the parents (usually the mamas) to come up with the theme or concept. Erica (Olivia’s mommy) said mermaid. I said fantabulous! We went from there and well you will just have to scroll down to see. Just like her maternity session with all the outfit changes, she brought out the cuteness for this one too.

Olivia posed like a model. No, like a real model with very sophisticated looks at first. Then after a little warming up and some pearls to gnaw on she let loose. We got our smiles! Don’t be fooled by her dreamy eyes and luxurious lashes, she’s got beauty and brains. Olivia is already babbling lot of words and understands both English and Spanish. Aye, que bonita!

My favorite! Now I know what they mean when they say, “What a doll face!”

Katie, Hai and Hanson. Family. Los Angeles Family Photographer.

July 5, 2013

Usually the birthday boy or girl tends to favor and make a huge deal for the popular 10th,18th, 21st, 30th, and/or 50th birthdays. But the first birthday…well that’s a celebration for the parents. It’s a time to reflect back on all the struggles, triumphs, and adorably cute moments. Katie wanted to get in as many photo options and outfits as possible (along with a little cake action too!) in preparation for her son Hanson’s First Birthday. So, Katie and Hai booked a family photo session that ended with a Smash The Cake segment. I thought it was a great idea, especially because the mom and dad are going to be able to partake in the photo memories as well. Making it to that first year is definitely not just an accomplishment for the baby but for the entire family (or like they say…village).

I love hearing all the craftiness that goes into first birthdays (and I was a little on the nosy side) so I asked Katie and Hai, as I normally ask all parents, what will be the baby’s first birthday party’s theme? They replied, that instead of a birthday, they are celebrating with a trip to Maui, Hawaii. I was like, “Wow, that’s super awesome!” Although I love hearing about the cuteness of birthday parties, any type of vacation is just as fun. Since I think it’s more of a celebration for the parents, a family vacation is perfect too! (Hmm, that’s starting to give me an idea:)

Katie you looked beautiful and thank you for being so protective of my belly. Hai thank you for having so much energy especially when us ladies had you running around. Katie also brought her sister who was a super auntie and tried everything possible to help Hanson give us the best smiles. Have fun you all on your vacation and I wish Hanson the best of birthdays!

Hanson’s Swag:

Benjamin. Smash The Cake. Los Angeles Baby Photographer.

July 1, 2013

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.

Ava. Smash The Cake. Los Angeles Baby Photographer.

April 17, 2013

Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of. I couldn’t agree more with this old fashioned nursery rhyme. My camera practically melted when my lens laid her glass eye on this adorable thang. Ava will be one in a week, so her parents wanted to doll her up in pinks and pastels for her smash the cake session. Oh what a sweet pea she is in this personalized pink party hat I created that went along perfectly with the dual color tutu her mommy handmade. Happy Birthday Ava! May all your sweet little wishes come true!This one is my favorite, because I started screaming and then she copied me…and look at how cute the photo turned out. Then I continued to scream thinking it would make her laugh, umm I guess not because she started crying. Oppsies!

Christian. Smash the Cake. Los Angeles Lifestyle Photographer.

April 8, 2013

Sometimes I like to over indulge in desserts. Okay I’m lying. I always end up having a sugar coma whenever I have the opportunity for some yummy deliciousness….apparently so does Christian! This almost one year old handsome little devil devoured his smash the cake cake in less than one minutes flat. No seriously, Christian knows exactly what he loves, and that is sugar! Luckily his mom, dad, auntie, grandma, and I were all prepared for his speedy quick smashing of what seemed to be one pretty tasty cake. Christian was so adorable while smothering the butter cream goodness all over every body part he could reach. Happy Birthday, you super cute “cake” monster. I hope his Sesame Street themed birthday and birthday cake are ready for him.

I think I’m going to start having a smash the cake contest. Wouldn’t that be too cute? So fresh and so clean before.This is my favorite. I mean look at his dimple!Ready, set
.too late.
Okay this is my messy face favorite.
