Baby Bronx

2010-04-27T23:10:00.000-07:00

What a fun day this newborn shoot turned out to be for so many reasons. First off, I was nervous to photograph little Bronx as this was my very first newborn photo shoot. Ideally, a newborn should be photographed the very first week after birth, ideally between 5-6 days old. This way the baby sleeps and the photographer can position the baby into creative positions without upsetting the baby. I was contacted by my friend Veronica, baby Bronx’s mama when he was a little over a week old. I was very excited to schedule a time to come over but with my work schedule, it made it a little challenging. I was able to come over one afternoon when baby Bronx was 10 days old. I was nervous that he would be awake and hard to position into the cute poses that I wanted to do, but as soon as I arrived my nerves changed to excitement. Bronx was so clam and easy to work with which made the day so enjoyable. Veronica was such a happy mama and was not nervous at all to let me handle her little bundle of joy. The most touching part of the day was when Veronica and her husband Dave brought over Dave’s father’s Harley helmet. Sadly, Dave’s father passed away before ever getting a chance to meet his beautiful grandson. We were able to get the most amazing pictures of baby Bronx resting peacefully in his grandpa’s favorite helmet which brought a tear and a smile to everyone’s face. Out of all the images I took that afternoon, baby Bronx was the most peaceful in grandpa’s helmet. I will never forget that moment and how it touched my heart. Thank you Saverino family for letting me into your home and into your life.

Baby Kayden

After the long anticipated arrival of baby Kayden, everyone is delighted to say welcome to the world baby Kayden and congrats Nathan and Kim Haskins. This little guy is a true fighter and with his determination, he will surely be a professional athlete one day. With tall, gorgeous parents, this little guy has all their looks and the natural Mohawk to prove it. When I arrived at Nate and Kim’s beautiful home, I knew that the photography shoot would work out great with all of their beautiful decorations and scenery they have in their home. With Kayden being a little older then my typical newborn shoots, it was hard to get him to sleep at first. Finally after a few bottles and a couple of diaper changes we were ready to rock and roll. This little guy fell into a deep sleep and we were able to put him in baskets and move him from room to room. All in all I was able to get some wonderful shots that I hope the Haskins will cherish forever.

Baby Alexia

I was super excited about photographing this tiny newborn. Girls are always fun to take pictures of because you get to dress them up with cute bows and hats. When I found out my husband’s cousin Brittney was having a girl, I reminded her all the time that I would be taking baby Alexia’s 1st pictures. I went overboard and bought hats and props to ensure a perfect session with this little cutie. The timing was also in my favor, as little Alexia was only 6 days old. I scoped out the house for a good spot to take photographs and I found that Alexia’s nursery had great lighting and space. She was an absolute gem for me, sleeping the entire time, making it a breeze to take one beautiful picture after another. I had the most fun editing these pictures as almost every picture was perfect. I am excited to watch her grow throughout the years and be there to capture her special milestones. Welcome to the world baby Alexia, what a little gem you are.

Christmas Family Fun

2010-01-10T11:20:00.000-08:00

What a fun evening this was! Val, one of my older sister Andrea's good friends from high school, invited me over to take pictures of her family during their annual Christmas dinner party. I was thrilled, not only because Valerie is super sweet and fun, but her three daughters are too cute for words. We planned on taking family photos outdoors but the rain had other plans for us. I managed to snag some great indoor pictures of the beautiful family dressed in their Christmas best. I just love Christmas clothes and these cuties stole the spotlight. I might add that the Santa hats were a perfect compliment to acent the adorable dresses these cuties wore. Thanks for a wonderful evening and allowing me the opportunity to meet the entire Arias family.

What a wonderful photo shoot this turned out to be. Meet Sara, Angel, Alyssa & Aubrey. What a beautiful family! Sara helped me out tremendously by finding the perfect location for beautiful fall pictures. I am always looking for great locations and this worked out wonderful. Both daughters Alyssa and Aubrey are very photogenic and so taking great pictures was a breeze. Thank you Rodriguez family for a wonderful afternoon : )

I have been taking way too much time away from photography.. Life can get in the way, but I vow to be better. After all photography is my passion in life, I enjoy it so much. Not to mention, I received a new camera lens for my birthday present from my parents last weekend : ) Perfect gift! I took these pictures of the cutest kids in the world( only my neices and nephew ) to get back into the swing of things again. The day was hectic, taking pictures of three kids who would much rather be doing anything but taking pictures. They ended up being good for me though..I promised them a surprise when we were done...SILLY STRING! To bad the sun had gone down too much for good pictures of them shooting silly string all over eachother (lol). After dropping the kids off, I went through the photos and was surprised on how many good ones there were. So many in fact, I could not just pic a few for the post so here are quite a few of my favorites for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

San Francisco

Ray and I planned a trip to San Fran over summer. Ray had never been before, and he has heard me talk about it over the past few years now. We saw a perfect opportunity to go in June when we went to our friends wedding in Sacramento. We thought, why not make a trip of it? We drove up the coast and stayed the night in Monteray Bay the first night. We went to the aquarium and walked the beach for the day before heading up to San Fran. There were many prime photo opportunites and with Ray being my one and only model he had to unwillingly participate. Good pics of him sitting on the train if you ask me? I think he too was happy with how they turned out, after all one is his facebook profile picture so I guess he liked it (lol). We then took off to San Fran, which was amazing as always.. Ray and I had a blast. We stayed for 2 days and 2 nights, but I only took my camera out one day. Too risky to carry a nice camera in San Fran at night, that's for sure. The day I had my camera with me, we luckily took a go kart tour (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)!! I was able to get some great shots on the golden gate bridge. These one's are my favorite, with the geese in the grass. So Beautiful!
