San Diego Newborn Photography {Baby M Sneak Peek}

July 15, 2015July 15, 201513 Comments

I was lucky enough to meet this cutie pie’s parents in the spring when they were preparing her nursery! As luck would have it, we ended up chatting nurseries and photography and I was thrilled when they hired me in anticipation of Baby M’s arrival! Life is funny that way, isn’t it?!

Baby M ended up arriving a bit ahead of schedule, but we were able to coordinate our date and luckily took these before she was even a week old! That’s definitely what I find to be the magical sweet spot for newborn baby photos!

Talk about a lovely personality and sweet disposition! Baby M was a delight to photograph. She smiled and cooed, slept like and angel, and smiled some more! She even gave me a little shoulder roll a couple times. I think this little one has the title “Super Model” in her future! ❤

Baby S Newborn Session {Sneak Peek}

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! I’m so glad I’m able to photograph teeny tiny babies for their newborn sessions! My own babies are now 6 and 8, so getting time with tiny bundles of love fills my heart more than you can imagine!

Baby S was such a pleasure to photograph – sweet baby boy with all that hair and those mile long lashes! He’s on his way to an amazing start in life!

His parents are excited for this new journey and they’re absolutely head over heels in love with this little guy! How could they not be?! He’s so adorable!

I am so totally smitten with this baby girl! Baby D is just as sweet as can be and I had such a wonderful time photographing her in all her newness! And I was happy as can be to get some of her loving family in the photos, too, especially her gorgeous mama!

I’ve known her stunning Mommy for about 5 years and was thrilled to have the opportunity to get some newborn photos of Baby D… Can you believe she’s baby #6?! She evened the score with 3 boys and 3 girls in this lovely family!

D Family in Balboa Park {Sneak Peek}

April 23, 2015October 14, 20152 Comments

You wouldn’t believe how sweet and adorable this baby boy was to photograph, along with his mama and dada! Little boy D was really a joy to work with, and his gorgeous parents couldn’t have made our session any better!

I’m blessed to live in a beautiful city with gorgeous locations to photograph lovely families. But in reality, it’s the family that makes the photos come to life and breathes fresh air into tried and true locations! I had a blast working with this sweet and beautiful family and hope they enjoyed our session as much as I did! ❤

The Daily Post photo challenge this week “Scale” reminded me of some of the fun photos I’ve shared in the past! Join me as I stroll down memory lane with five of my favorite photos playing with scale 🙂

Dreamy // Sleepy Baby Leo {Photo Challenge}

October 10, 2014October 14, 201529 Comments

I love photographing families, and usually have the opportunity to work with lots of parents and kids. But rarely do I get the opportunity to photograph a newborn baby! Lucky for me, I had the perfect opportunity to photograph cutie pie Baby Leo recently. I was so happy that he slept* throughout our session! Talk about a “dreamy” baby and sweet images! You might remember his gorgeous mama, handsome daddy and adorable sister from our maternity session in August – check it out here!

So how did we get the baby to sleep the whole time? It was MAGIC! Just kidding 🙂

*PHOTO TIP: Want sleeping newborn photos? keep baby awake for 1.5 hrs before session + keep room warm ~80° for baby. You’ll be sweating bullets, but baby will sleep like a champ! {CLICK TO TWEET!}
