Newborn Session - Twins!

 Yesterday was a great day. Really great!  Want to know why??

I got to photograph these tiny 1 week old newborn twins:

A lot of times parents wait until the twins are a little older to hire a photographer.  Although I completely understand that it’s a major adjustment to bring 2 babies home, I really encourage parents to get these pictures done within the first 2 weeks. I’m sure you’ll be almost delirious from lack of sleep when the time comes, so plan ahead!  

Congratulations Noelle, Brian and Kasey!

When Nicole said that she referred friends to me I knew they would be great clients.  Every family she has ever sent to me has been just wonderful to work with.  This family was no different.  I can’t say enough good things about them, and I’m yet to see a better looking kid!!  Here are my favorites:

After paddle boarding we went to breakfast and Kim shared her recipe for being a size 1:

When I came back and told the kids they really wanted to try it too, so this morning we took them out:

Summer is my favorite season and I’m so glad it’s almost here!

Run 4 Education - Children’s Photography, Orange County

Yesterday our family participated in the Run 4 Education, a really cool event organized by the CUSD foundation, to help raise funds for our teachers.  If people were paid according to the importance of their jobs, teaching should be the highest paying job out there!  Thank you teachers, for all you do every day for our kids and our community. 

The kids were so excited to participate in their first fitness event and hanging out with their friends.

There was some serious preparation for the run:

There were lots of cool vendor booths at the event, including the fabulous Debbie from Peace, Love and Momminess. She has some awesome products, from t-shirts to jewelry, tea and candles.  Debbie is an amazing writer and her blog is really fun. Check it out!!

Family Session - Family and Children Photography, Orange County

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve photographed this family.  Since I first met them about 2 years ago we have become good friends, which makes their sessions more fun each time.  The purpose of our last session was to replace the 24×36 canvas above their fireplace. The current picture they have was taken before Ethan was around, so it’s time to include the little guy in the family portrait! Here is the chosen image as well as some other favorites from the session:

Family Session - Family and Children Photography, Orange County

As soon as I met these boys we started having fun. They are so cute and full of energy! And to make me especially happy, they didn’t really care that I had a camera in front of my face a lot of the time. All they wanted to do was what kids do best: play, play, and play some more! Here are some of my favorites:

Welcome Baby Faith - Newborn Photography, Orange County

A couple of months ago I did a maternity session for a very cool family. Here’s an image from that session:

So last week they called again announcing the birth of their beautiful baby girl.  One of the reasons I love newborn sessions is because I get to make images that would be completely impossible to make if we waited a few more days.  A 1 month old baby looks so different than she was at 1 week!  And those first 4 weeks go by so fast…most of the time parents are in a daze from sleepless nights and all the demands of a brand new baby.  Anyway, here is Faith just a few days after she joined her family:

Too sweet and cuddly!! I feel like holding her every time I see these images :)
