Birthday Babe at the Beach | Laguna Beach Family Photographer

This was a fun photo shoot in Laguna Beach - it was a combo of baby's first birthday/family photo session.  We were blessed with some yummy light on the beach and a cute baby in a bucket (and balloons!)...how could it have gone wrong?  I am lovin' those big brown eyes...

Baby Bennett's First Family Photo Shoot - Talega Family Photographer

So you can probably tell from the number of photos I am about to post, that I enjoyed this photo session.  It was really easy going, super relaxed, and we got some great shots.  This shoot was both to capture the newborn (5 weeks-ish) and the family.  I hope you enjoy some of these pictures as much as I have.

(These are some of my personal favorites - I love love capturing some good old-fashioned sun flare)

(I love Mark's - the dad's - expression in this one)

(I am obsessed with baby feet...if you haven't figured it out by now)

(I think the nose-to-nose is so cute)

(Happy mamas are the best!)

Thanks guys for letting me take your photos - it was a treat :) xoxo

Baby P: Orange County Children's Photographer

I think this little girl is just so cute! The day we had our photo session Peyton was having a teething issue and not willing to smile for the camera, but she still looks like a little doll.  We are going to have a second session to see if we can get some smiles, so stay tuned :)

Brotherly Love: Orange County Children's Photographer

I love photographing this family.  I did their family photos back around Christmas time, and this time my job was just to capture the boys at home.  If you are wondering why there are more pictures of the baby, I want you to know that was intentional and I wasn't just playing favorites...his parents wanted to have photographic proof of him in his cute, chubby glory :)

Family Photos at "Big Corona"

It was really cold on Sunday at the beach, but the cloudy skies made for some good pictures. Here are some of my favorites photos from my shoot with this fun family. And check out the smile on the little one...she was absolutely loving the sand (as a snack) :)

Family Photos at Treasure Island Beach

On Saturday it was SO hot! This family somehow survived the hot temperatures in their jeans and got some nice family photos. I was loving the green!

Family of Three at the Montage

This photo shoot was so much fun - it reminded me why I love photography. There were so many cute photos it was hard to only pick out a few...so, I chose several to show you. How adorable and happy is this baby?! So cute!

Baby Peyton

Today I got to work with a fun family, and we were able to get some fun photos. Here is a little preview from the shoot today.

Malaga Cove with the Kelleys

Last weekend I had the opportunity to go to Malaga Cove in Palos Verdes Estates and meet with the Kelley family and take some photos for them. The kids were adorable and the location was beautiful, what could be better?
