Hello friend | Santa Clarita Portrait Photographer

I made a new friend today! Meet J.D., a fab­u­lous lit­tle three month old. I could tell he liked me right off the bat, loved my cam­era, and I totally enjoyed him, it was just all good. What a nice lit­tle fam­ily too. J.D. is a baby plan­ner so we will be see­ing him every three months or so for his first year, we’ve got lots of fun planned for his shoots! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek mom and dad, lots more to come!

Don’t for­get to get in those nom­i­nees for my incred­i­ble moms give­away, only one week left! Details are here.

Felling a little bully | Santa Clarita Portrait Photographer

So usu­ally when I pho­to­graph dogs it’s with kids in the pic­ture, there may be some chi­huahuas with antlers in there, but I digress… This week a unique oppor­tu­nity pre­sented itself. We went to Dis­ney­land for the week­end a few weeks ago and my husband’s friend Bran­don was nice enough to babysit our French Bull­dog puppy Buster. Buster and Brandon’s Eng­lish Bull­dog the Gen­eral really hit it off. So this week­end we babysat the Gen­eral and had a pho­to­shoot with him as a thank you to his dad. Have you ever seen a face with more char­ac­ter? A sea­soned old “gen­eral” if I have ever seen one! So here is me pre­tend­ing to be a pet pho­tog­ra­pher for a lit­tle bit, not as easy as it looks! And the lit­tle one is of course our Buster :) Hope you like them Brandon!

Sweet, sweet baby! | Santa Clarita Portrait Photographer

I got to pho­to­graph the most insanely cute baby girl today! Meet 9 month old Miss Sarah Grace, mom, dad, and her big buddy Win­ston. She was so pre­cious I just wanted to pinch her cheeks. I had a bit of dejavu because Sarah reminded me so much of my niece Brooke as a baby! Brook is now a beau­ti­ful 15 year old but today’s shoot was a lit­tle like a trip back to the past for me. I’m curi­ous to see if my sis­ter in law agrees! I will admit Win­ston gave me a run for my money, but boy is he a beau­ti­ful dog. Enjoy the sneak peek mom and dad, lots more to come!

Bouncing boys | Santa Clarita Newborn Photographer

Today I had the most amaz­ing new­born ses­sion! This may be my fastest one to date, I was done tak­ing pic­tures in just about an hour. I didn’t take a mil­lion shots but what I got was oh so good. Meet Lan­don, the most spec­tac­u­lar 8 day old ever! I shot his mom’s mater­nity pic­tures and we have been anx­iously await­ing his arrival. Lan­don has just the nicest fam­ily and sweet­est big brother, they were all really a joy to work with. Enjoy the sneak peek, more to come!

Valencia Highschool Dance Team | Santa Clarita Portrait Photographer

And more still from the Valen­cia High School dance team! This was my last group of girls today. I met them dur­ing their usual prac­tice time at 7:00 am at the high school. Hav­ing to be any­where at 7:00am ready to go for the day is some­thing. These ladies do this every­day, all year long! I have a new found respect for the ded­i­ca­tion they put in to being the very best. And an update– at last weekend’s Nation­als com­pe­ti­tion the team won three national titles! A first for any of the high schools in the Santa Clarita Val­ley, Go Valencia!
