I love documenting new life . I love and feel so honored to be invited into my clients homes, capturing the bond they share and the excitement of a siblings arrival . I really aim to capture that raw natural beauty that lies within family connection, those in-between moments, the real life stuff. For this session I found so much love these older brothers shared for each other and their first little sister. Newborn sessions are not just about photographing a perfect sleepy baby, they are about capturing the love that surrounds them and thats honestly my favorite part! So when expecting mammas email me asking if their session includes siblings & parents, I always say YES OFCOURSE! In fact- I encourage you to be present in your family photos! <3 Thank you for all of you who entrust in me to document such a special time!

 I love giving the children in our session free roam to play and run around, capturing their real selves, their little but oh so BIG personalities as they interact with mom & dad in front my camera. Play is the key in a successful family session. Lots of tickling, chasing, jumping , splashing - I live to capture that raw beauty that lies within family connection. Sometimes asking a toddler or child to sit still and smile doesn't exactly give us a true memory of them at this age, this is why I feel its important to sing with them , giggle with them, ask them questions. This is how I capture family sessions, like a casual day with mom & dad at the beach.

“May you always know little one, you were wished for, longed for, prayed for, and wanted."

I love connecting with families I meet and getting to know their story. This sweet little guy, Jordan, is just shy of 2 years old, waiting for his adoption to be complete. This family came all the way from Arkansas to visit Jordan as just in a few weeks they get to take him home forever . I couldn't feel more honored to capture this special time for them.

I love maternity sessions at the beach but even more so when its a cloudy day! That soft disused light mixed with the sunset colors is just so dreamy! I have been really enjoying photographing so many baby bumps lately ! This Shaw’s Cove, Laguna Beach Session is definitely going down as one of my favorite maternity sessions for the books. These maternity gowns that Helen, the expecting mamma picked out are just perfect ! Neutrals are the way to this photographers heart and she totally nailed it!

I am SO behind on blogging because it honestly is always such a chore by the time I have a second to catch up ! I have been out shooting almost everyday and working hard to get client galleries edited & sent- that blogging tends to get put on the back burner! I can’t wait to share SO many unblogged (is that a word?, ha.) sessions with you guys though! Here to the sweet little Asher family and their Orange County Newborn Session.

This Maternity Session at Riley Wilderness Park was so fun because these two expecting parents were full of style, bringing 3 awesome outfit choices and also their adorable pup along with them! I love shooting sessions at Riley Wilderness because of the versatility of scenery it offers, with the open golden fields , dirt paths, the trees and gorgeous hill areas. This maternity session was a dream and this mamma being so gorgeous  made my job a breeze!
