Railroad tracks & petti’s.

It couldn’t get any better. Railroad tracks. Petti skirts. Combined with 2 adorable little girls. Ahhh. The life of a photographers little girl can get boring. Yeah right! Little Miss Olivia and cousin Mya were as cute as can be today! Out on an adventure we went. And I must admit it was pretty successful. With Olivia who can’t stop moving but will pose when she wants and Mya who just is non-stop cute we came up with the following…tell me what you think!

 

And of course you have to bribe them! Uh, or were we thinking another photo op? Of course!

An artistic view.

This scrumptious baby was a handful today but look at this awesome photo we captured…

A vintage wash basin.

This baby was a delight today. She smiled and even giggled at all the tricks I pulled out of my bag. Ok, so it’s just a feather duster. But she loved it! Here she is…

Birthday Boy “L”

This handsome little man came in for his cake smash and stole the show! I *heart* this little boy! Each time I see him he lights up the room. His adorable birthday outfit was to die for. OK, not literally but you get the gist. I love the traditional clothing for boys…you know the kind- Linen, white, collard shirts, simple and elegant. Yep that’s the type! I don’t think he stopped smiling the whole session. Here he is…

Oh, yeah. And…Mommy is expecting #2!!! Hooray for newborns, and big brothers, and more babies, and big bellies, and new life, and, and, and…I could go on! I am a sucker for new babies! Anyhow,  keep this little guys Mommy in your thoughts. She is sick sick sick and more sick. We all remember those days. When you brush your teeth and uh. That feeling. UH! Well now imagine that non stop! I feel for ya. And I truly  meant it when I said I’d help. Just give me the word. HELP!  Congrats!!!

Tradition.

This family started a tradition with this lei since their maternity photos. The maternity photos included an adorable teddy bear that wore this lei with a cute outfit. Then the newborn photos included that teddy bear also. Now at 11 weeks this cutie is sporting the same lei. And well I may add. I love to see a symbol that travels with the baby as he/she develops. I did this with my daughter and looking back I treasure those photos. I took the same special object and took a picture of her with it monthly. It truly showed how she grew compared to an object that didn’t change. This is just simply adorable. You’ve got a cutie!

6 days old.

This little guy was so little and itty bitty! At only 6 days old this little guy did great! And his sister (2 1/2) was so gentle and listened so well. We got some amazing pictures and this was one of my favorites! Oh, and the big *BLING* sure helps! Enjoy!

A.B.C. is as cute as can be!

At less than 2 weeks old this little man A.B.C. (his initials) is as cute as can be! Mom brought this adorable blanket in and we caught him in a sound sleep. He has the cutest pouty lips, you know I love the peely skin and he still even has his umbilical cord! Congratulations Mommy on your newest addition! And your older son…what a stunner! I think Olivia will need a boyfriend like him! We’ll catch up in 16 years or so! 8)

Miracle baby

The cutest little boy came in to celebrate his first birthday with the ever-so-popular cake smash! It’s hard to imagine but I was told that he was born weighing a little over 1 Lb. He is such a miracle to his family.  He truly touched me and was a joy to photograph. He was so amazed at the texture and taste of the cake as he relaxed for over 1/2 hour just playing and hanging out! Such a cutie.

ok, ok, ok…I know I usually only post one but this next one is one of the cutest I’ve seen! Look at how hard he is smiling!! This was at the very end and it seems as if he was saying “ok, Mom here is one last smile. I’ll make it a doosy!”

 

Vintage

This little girl had the cutest vintage dress on today. On pictures like this I love to play with different styles. Here is the origional picture and a vintage play. Thank you so much Nana for being a trooper on such short notice! You are all a great family.

1 year birthday boy!

Catch a glimpse of a 1 year old little boy today that had a messy cake photo shoot. Talk about messy cake. This little boy defines the messy cake shoot! And get this…he didn’t take one bite! Not one! Happy Birthday!!

All boy…

This little boy was truly all boy. From skateboards, baseballs, footballs, and ball caps I can tell he’s a true boy at heart. With this orange chair we captured the best smiles and grins. Oh, and with some help from our audience too!

3 Boys…

This awesome mom recently had her 3rd baby boy. This little one is 3 months old and his name starts with “D”… just like his 2 brothers and father! Boy was it a tongue twister for me today. I think I’ve got them all straight now. This pose was taken with both older boys as infants and now the new baby follows right in suit. Check it out…

4th of July Birthday Boy!

This well mannered, super cute, handsome little man is a 4th of July baby! Celebrating his 3rd birthday he’s not a baby anymore. Most 3 year old’s don’t last a full 30 minutes but this cutie did! Great job!

Twins are born!

Or the “twinkies” are born ~ as the mom stated in her e-mail update! This beautiful mom gave birth to baby girl and boy twins last week and I have been told they are both beautiful and healthy. I would have given anything to have a smokin’ body like this when I was pregnant with one – let alone two! Okay, Okay. I’d give anything to have a body like that not pregnant too! Lol. Congratulations! I can’t wait to meet them!

Twins: Age 2

From the first day I saw these two adorable boys I knew I’d love to get the camera in front of them! Not sure that they were on the same page with me though beause if you’ve been reading my posts you’ve recently read that two year old’s are my challenge.  We got this shoot accomplished with tons of mom’s help and lot’s of singing!

Jenny + Marc: A Delaware wedding

I first met this awesome couple at their bridal shower here in California back in December 2007. Their friends and family who threw and attended this bash were amazing! Many of their personalities definitely came out in the candid pictures from the night. They then invited me to Rohoboth, Delaware to continue their love journey, the I do.

This beach wedding was perfect and some very special memories were made. You both were a joy to work with. Here is a snippet. Enjoy!

 

and they lived happily ever after…

 

 

Going somewhere?

Not dressed like that! This one year old caramel cutie was a joy to work with.  She seemed to smile and giggle and laugh at everything I did. Hmm..maybe I am funny looking? Either way she made my day by showing me her teephers. Here she is, pearls and all… (thanks again parents! I’m sorry!)

Animal sounds.

When 2 year olds come in the parents and I always have the darndest time thinking of ways to make them feel comfortable. They are either so hyper and won’t sit still or just plain don’t want to be there. When it came to this cutie Mom brought animal sounds out of the box! It worked! I think my favorite was a sheep. She had the cutest, softest “baaaa”. One of my favorites…

Dancing cuties

Two of the cutest girls came in today and did their whole routine for me while I snapped away and yelled “stop, do that again!” everytime a photo op came! Super cute girls! See for yourself…
