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!!

beach babe

Yes, you are seeing this post correctly. I had yet another maternity session. Four in a row (all first timers) and all 4 of these women were simply G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!

This is Elizabeth & her hubby Mark. Their session was at the beach, down in Carlsbad at the family's fabulous beach house. Elizabeth & Mark are a such a fun & stylish couple, not to mention good looking too. You could see and feel the love between them. They are expecting a baby boy in July and I am so excited for them. Boys rock!

E&M, enjoy your sneak peek!

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!

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.

as beautiful as her name

Isn't Arielle gorgeous? I mean really gorgeous. I personally think she needs to take up modeling. Maybe the next America's Next Top Model? Anyway, her photos shoot was a breeze and so different from my usual clients. Eye contact and a smile without bribery. Who doesn't love that?! Thank you Arielle & family!

I had the joy of photographing little miss Camden last weekend. She is an absolute doll with gorgeous eyes and beautiful long blonde hair. A mini Cinderella. She was a total ham too. Thanks Jenne & Camden for the fun session. Enjoy your sneak peek!
