Happy Birthday Cookie! | Santa Clarita Family Photographer

Bud and Cookie have a big, beau­ti­ful fam­ily! What would any mom want for her birth­day? A pic­ture of them all together of course! Their kids decided that’s just what they would give her, the only prob­lem was there are 18 of them, this was the only time they’d all be in town together, and it was sup­posed to rain all week­end! We scram­bled to secure an alter­nate loca­tion… and I may have said a few (a lot) of prayers, well Sat­ur­day the rain held off just for us and we got their pic­ture. The beau­ti­ful blond mom there is my friend Tracy, we have been pals since the 7th grade and I was hon­ored to do this for her fam­ily. Dur­ing our shoot Tracy told me she and her hus­band had never had pic­tures taken with them and their 5 kids, that’s right never! So Trac, you get a sneak peek of two. The bub­bles in the last shot are cour­tesy their old­est son, love it. Gotta have a smart Alec in every bunch, it’s our old­est son around here too :) Enjoy the sneak peek guys, much more to come…

Sleeping Beauty | Valencia Newborn Photographer

Yes­ter­day I got to meet 17 day old Made­lyn! I moved around my sched­ule to squeeze her in because I was a lit­tle wor­ried about her age, after two weeks it can get a lit­tle dicey. Turns out there was no need to worry, Made­lyn was as sleepy and con­tent as can be. The fact that she was gor­geous cer­tainly doesn’t hurt either :) Enjoy the sneak peek, much more to come…

Sleeping Beauty | Valencia Newborn Photographer

Yes­ter­day I got to meet 17 day old Made­lyn! I moved around my sched­ule to fit her in and was a bit wor­ried about her age, they start to get very alert at about 2 weeks. Luck­ily not Made­lyn! She was curly and sleepy, just a breeze and let me move her around as much as I needed… plus she is gor­geous, what more can you ask for? Enjoy the sneak peek, much more to come…

Surprise for Mom! | Santa Clarita Portrait Photographer

This fam­ily ses­sion took place last month but had to be kept hush hush because it was a gift for their par­ents anniver­sary. We had so much fun tak­ing these and even more fun plot­ting the sur­prise. They asked me to design a wall group­ing of stand­out mounts for their mom which you can see at the bot­tom, this is just what they ended up giv­ing her. Their mom loved her gift and I heard some happy tears were shed. This ses­sion must hold a record for the absolute most out­takes, maybe I’ll do an out­takes post soon so I can share a few, they are hilarious!

Pretty Stella | Santa Clarita Portrait Photographer

You may remem­ber Stella from her new­born shoot a few weeks ago. Stella is a new baby plan­ner you will be see­ing a lot of! Stella’s par­ents wanted a very spe­cial baby plan, they asked if I could pho­to­graph Stella every month. What a cool oppor­tu­nity to watch her grow this year! I’m really excited about tak­ing on such an amaz­ing project to doc­u­ment the first year in this lit­tle life. So here she is Miss Stella, one month:

headshots! | Santa Clarita Headshots Photographer

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I took head­shots for Dal­las, but it has! She is one of my favorite mod­els for sure, she has so much per­son­al­ity, is a nat­ural in front of the cam­era and we just have a great time together! Enjoy the sneak peek, much more to come…

For Daddy | Santa Clarita Baby Photographer

I love, love, love my new­borns but I don’t know, after Miss Pey­ton 9 months old may be my new favorite age! Pey­ton came over today for a super secret photo shoot as a gift for her daddy. Now mom has assured me he won’t hap­pen onto my blog but if you know this fam­ily, shhh!!! It’s a secret :) I seri­ously love these shots so much I want to print myself some wal­lets! Have fun try­ing to choose mom, they are seri­ously all this good! Enjoy the sneak peek, lots more to come…

And this shot just kills me! Peyton’s mom had these funny shoes she wanted to try and get a few shots with, you can see what Pey­ton thinks of them! I laughed so hard when I saw this shot I nearly peed my pants :)

Handsome Guy | Santa Clarita Newborn Photographer

I’m not sure what’s been going on, some­thing in the water maybe? but I have had 8 girl babies in a row! Well today that streak was bro­ken with lit­tle Jacob. He was so tiny and sweet with the nicest mom, dad, and grandma too. I was hon­ored that Jacob’s first trip out of the house since com­ing home from the hos­pi­tal was to come and see me. Jacob is a new baby plan­ner so we’ll be see­ing him every four months and I’m sure based on our first meet­ing today that he and I will be fast friends.

baby love | Santa Clarita Maternity Photographer

Today I got to do a mater­nity shoot for the most adorable fam­ily! Mom had a duf­fel bag full of wardrobe changes for every­one, she thought about line, color, tex­ture… um, did I die and go to heaven? I cap­tured some beau­ti­ful images of her today but I had to share a bunch with their son Chris­t­ian. Could he be any cuter? Seri­ously I was smit­ten, the boy had me at hello. He is going to be such an amaz­ing big brother and I was thrilled to cap­ture his excite­ment for his lit­tle brother on the way. Enjoy the sneak peek guys, much more to come…

Meet gor­geous three month old Scar­let and her very hand­some big broth­ers! They were just so excited about her and so, so sweet. Every lit­tle girl should have big broth­ers like this. Scar­let is so beau­ti­ful I really couldn’t take a bad pic­ture of her, mom may have a hard time choos­ing :) Enjoy the sneak peek, much more to come…
