Belle Ame has come out with some new newborn outfits … in a teeny tiny size.   These are so cute and fit so well … often times newborn sets swallow little babies … well these don’t!  this little love bug was only a week old!          

Every baby is amazing but there is something special about the first one, it just makes your heart flutter when you see their first smile, or smell their sweet baby yumminess and you just can’t wait for all the new experiences you will take part in as a family.   Having a baby is an amazing, spectacular event in your life and I feel so fortunate to get to photograph so many loving families and their beautiful children.   

This little bundle of joy was a dream to photograph, she was sleepy and content the entire time (one of the reasons I love to photograph babies when they are less then a week old)!    

Not much time for a lengthy post but I did want to add some new goodies to my blog!   

This little love bug has some of the best expressions, she has the most gorgeous smile … her eyes literally light up when she smiles!   

Can  you imagine having three babies at one time … and only have two arms!  LOL It’s crazy, madness and yet so much fun!  When I got a call from Cindy about photographing her triplets I was so excited, this session was a first for me and my head started spinning with ideas.  The babies were all so amazing the entire time, they were content and happy and even with stood our outfit changes and everything!  We shared a lot of laughs during the shoot and lots of adorable moments.  I had Kelly (baby handling master) come and join me for the shoot … this way we had extra hands for all three babies and OMG was it helpful!   Thanks Kelly :) 

Ok onto these little beauties … the funniest thing was each one of them was a different size, like small, medium and large 

the boys … who totally crack me up 

This little guy has the brightest eyes ever!  He actually reminds me of Anthony at 8 months old … complete toe head, big fatty blue eyes and that super happy smile.  I always say this … but I’ll say it again … 8 month old pictures rock!                     

This sweet little family is for some fun, a 2 year old and twin babies … a boy and a girl … how perfect is that!?!   Kelly assisted me on this shoot which was awesome because not only does she make a great partner in crime but she also makes for a great baby holder, an awesome bubble blower and she also dabbles in sing a longs!   Whew … thanks Kelly!

The fam and myself are in Big Bear this week, sucking up some rays, doing a little fishing/hiking and hitting the local bowling alley … have I told you guys how much we love to bowl?  I totally suck, like really badly …. Madison even beats me but I still keeping going back!     

I’ve been waiting patiently for awhile to photograph this little beauty!  She is so sweet and was such a super star during the session, even breaking a couple of sweet smiles out for me.  Without further ado here is Peaches …   

I bought Madison this tiny dolls bed … it started off this awful gold color (so gross!) so then we picked up a light tiffany blue and painted it, after one pair of ruined jeans and speckles all over our porch we finally had enough paint on the crib to cover up the gross gold … I’ll share a picture of it in color soon but in the meantime here it is in BW 

this new bundle of joy brings this family to a whopping 6 count and I hear through the grapevine that there may be more to come!!  You might remember Jaki as my uber super hot maternity client that was my labeled “colorful woman” entry … this girl fit the bill to a T.  Jaki and Seth welcome a new baby girl into their family, bringing joy and even more color to this already delightful bunch!   

One of the things I wanted to capture with the family was a small glimpse into their lives, just a peak of unposed, fun loving couch time   

   Missing one, typical in family pictures right?  LOL  

Super short post … 

I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Mother’s Day!   I’m in for a day of being treated like a Queen, in our family we have a tradition of no gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, instead we get a special day of pampering from one another.  I love it, I get to choose everything we do today, there are NO chores,  usually a nap and some amazing food always!  I’ll report back on the day’s festivities!

Until then here is a sneak at a newbie session I just did 

This weekend I got together with sweet little Emily to photograph her one year old pictures.  When her mom called me she raved about Emily’s sweet personality, she’s quite a special little girl so I was very excited to get to meet her.  The moment I met her she was blowing kisses, waving, smiling and engaging everyone around her.  Ususally it takes a good 10 minutes for a child to warm up to me and my big ole camera … but not in this case.   Here she is at the beginning of our shoot 

After some fun running around we headed over to another alley to get some portraits of her … these pictures of her are so dreamy … I’m in love with her big gorgeous eyes!
