When my friends asked me to come up to Tahoe to photograph their family at their vacation home I couldn't resist! Who can say "no" to Lake Tahoe?! Thanks again for having me come up! And thanks again to my friend Christina for going up there with me! It was a nice break from reality! :)
Sweet tiny Teddy was so much fun to work with! As soon as I started posing him I could tell he had been a breech baby-- his long legs and tight hips made him a bit of a challenge in certain poses, but I get a kick out of his legs going all over the place! He was full of smiles and sticking his tongue out too! Such a cutie!
Miss Mackenzie was such a doll! Such a beautiful baby and such a sweetie! Thank you Britni and Art for having me be her first photographer!
The Rubens family met me out at the lake to get some photos done before their oldest goes off to school/the military. I don't photograph families with "big kids" too often, but I should definitely do it more-- it was far easier than chasing tiny children around! LOL!
Clara came into her session super sleepy, but once she woke up there was nothing I could do to get her to sleep! LOL! So happy we did the family pics first (I usually do them last) because they're some of my all time favorite family newborn pics!
This little guy was a real life doll! Not only did he have perfect little features (check out his eye lashes, eye brows, and hair! And he had the most perfect skin!), but he also slept the entire time and was a happy little guy-- never complained about how I positioned him or anything! I think he liked me. ;)
I finally got to meet the Mello family after months of having to postpone their original session for rain. And go figure as soon as we got out of our cars it started sprinkling-- luckily it stopped quickly and the rest of the session was nice and sunny! So happy to have finally gotten to meet and photograph this beautiful family!
The Clarks are such a sweet family! And little Anthony was such a ham-- he asked if he could make some very specific faces for his pictures and of course I said yes! :)
I love when I get to photograph close friends-- The Cipollas are our neighbors and some of our favorite people!
Sweet little Aaron came all the way from the Bay Area to have his newborn session with me, which was such a compliment! Loved working with this family-- such good people. Aside from getting to cuddle tiny babies, meeting so many amazing people is my favorite part of this "job". :)
Winter's mommy and daddy had warned me before the session that she can be fussy at times, but she was a perfect angel for me! She slept well, didn't mind being posed, and even when she was awake for a little bit she didn't cry at all! I like to think that she liked me. ;) Thanks again Anni and Parker for bringing Winter in for a session with me-- she is absolutely perfect!
I got to meet Little Miss Olivia today, and she was just the sweetest thing! She rocked her cake smash-- she didn't hesitate for a second to tear into that thing!
Sweet, tiny brothers Kio and Enzo visited me when they were almost three weeks old. I swear the smaller twin is always the feistiest! Enzo wasn't too happy to be a little model for the day, but Kio was super chill. LOL! Such handsome little babies and I can't wait to see them grow up!
The Brights are the sweetest family with the most darling daughter. Marisa wasn't super smiley for me, but she was happy and content so I feel like that's still a win! :)
Ella and Grace came to see me when they were four weeks old and they were absolute angels! My two year old saw me editing their photos and kept commenting on how they were "matching babies". LOL! Congratulations again Elisabeth and Jeff-- Ella and Grace are pure perfection!
I've been photographing Jocelyn and her mommy Lauren since Jocelyn was only a couple months old. There is something very special about getting to see little people grow up-- I love seeing their personalities develop. Thank you Lauren for allowing me to photograph your little one-- she's adorable!
My amazing cousin Carole is a fellow photographer and, just like most photographers, lacks photos of herself with her kiddos. I was so happy to be able to take these photos for her in a gorgeous blossoming almond orchard. Her children are beautiful and were so much fun to photograph. And I still can't get over how beautiful the orchard was... it looked like it had snowed with all the dropped petals. Breathtaking. Thank you Carole for letting me snap a couple pics of you and your babes.
Got to cuddle and play with sweet little Everett the other day. He was an awesome little model and I ended up with so many favorites from his session. I tried to narrow down this blog post, but just couldn't! Enjoy!
So excited to get to meet Parker and Anni's little one next month, she's going to be such a cutie! These two are seriously the sweetest; they're going to be awesome parents!
How gorgeous is this mama-to-be?! And can you believe there are identical twin girls in that belly? I cannot wait to meet these little ones-- they're destined to be gorgeous!
