proud big brother kaidin

Handsome little Kaidin is the big brother of the twins I shared yesterday. He was, hands down, the easiest toddler I have ever photographed. So much personality. He was a natural behind the camera, not to mention adorable! Not only was he a great model, he was a great helper too. He was so interested in all my gear and insisted on helping me carry it in and out of the house. Thanks Kaidin!







These blog-collage things (above) are new and I am not loving them yet. I think it is probably user error, so in the meantime I am going to post some individual shots of Mr. K so everyone can see them better.

baby love times two

Meet Miya and Bode, the highly anticipated twins that I felt lucky to photograph. They were about 4 weeks old here and I was chomping at the bit to point my lens at them from the day their awesome mom booked this session. I was super excited to photograph twins and the fact that they were boy/girl twins was icing on the cake! Love!!

betsy + riley

Another gorgeous & glowing mama-to-be. This is my husband's sister, Betsy, who is due with her first child at the end of this month. I am a horrible sister-in-law because I completely forgot to post this sneak peek for her & her husband Brad. I am hanging my head in shame. Sorry guys. Enjoy!

Obviously they are having a little girl, named Riley. :)


The rest of the images were taken at the golf course where they were married last summer.




I'm pretty sure Betsy thought I was nuts when I asked her to go lay on the greens. I thought her outfit would look fabulous against the green grass and I was right!

glowing mama to be

I had the pleasure of photographing my beautiful friend Kristin, her husband Mark, and their pooch Kobe last week in Newport Beach. Kristin was so easy and a natural beauty. She has the perfect baby belly and she just GLOWS. I am sure baby Brooklynn will be beautiful just like her mama (and gramma too)! Enjoy your sneak peek!



Look at her glow!!






Gorgeous eyes.






Huge THANKS to my dear friends, Nicole & Pat, of Villa Rentals for letting us use one of your oceanfront rentals for this shoot. You guys are the best!!

itty bitty bebe

This is my itty-bitty niece Brooklyn who was born in early March. She was about a month old when I took these photos and she pretty much hated every moment of it. I hope this is not a sign of her future relationship with my camera. Either way, I will still love her to pieces.

hawt mama

I had the pleasure of photographing my gorgeous sister-in-law for her maternity portraits. Unfortunately due to my camera malfunctioning, I was forced to split the session this into two days and I pretty much learned that a backup camera was a necessity now.

I took over 200 hundred photos, so sorting, rating, and editing has been a daunting task and I have a ways to go. These were all taken on day 2 with my new backup camera...

Jessica, Madison, Paige + Gavin

I had the pleasure of photographing the children of my 'big sister' from my sorority days. I haven't seen Lisa in several years so it was great to see her again and meet her beautiful children.

Nicholas + Charlie

As a mom of two boys, I thoroughly enjoyed this session. It gave me a glimpse into my own future with my boys. I loved how Nicholas & Charlie interacted with each other. It was obvious that they loved each other and are best buds. They are absolutely adorable and they have eyes and lashes to die for.

Little Miss Serious - 20 months

Isn't she a doll?

Gavin - 1 year

I could just eat him up!

Dante - 7 months

Gavin - 9 months

I took these pictures of G-funk in my parent's backyard and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I was by myself and I really wish I had another adult to help me get his attention, prop him up, etc. Gavin was squirmy and he kept trying to crawl away. Then he fell over and bumped his head on the concrete and I gave up.









This is G's absolute favorite item ever. It is his 'lovey'.
