Two + One = Three babies!

This family has grown to three!  Adorable children these two make...here are some of my favorites taken in La Costa, San Diego.

Lauren Turns One!

I love one year old portraits...they are so much fun!!  Cakes, balloons, cute outfits...the whole thing is so cute! But don't let these photos fool you it takes a lot of work to plan all of this and pull it off.  I always coordinate with the parents on how to design and set the stage weeks in advance.  Lauren is pulling off the girly pink look very well in her pearls and ruffled jumper!  I just love it!

Inna's Beautiful Family...

Look at these cheeks on this adorable baby boy! Inna's family is such a beautiful family...my job is so much fun!  Here are some of my favorites!

1yr old cake smashing session!

Fun times with this 1 yr old!  He wasn't quite sure what to do with the cake, but his sister was!

Giavani & Fredrick

How cute are these two kiddos?  Lollipops are always a good prop adding lots of color and a nice distraction.

The Story Family!

I got the pleasure to photograph the Story family again in La Costa at one of my favorite locations!  I love this one in a vintage b&w!

Luke 5 days new!

Newborns...here is Luke 5 days new!  Isn't he a doll?!  But don't let these sleepy photos fool you, newborn photography is an art!  It is tough and I am always learning new way to make beautiful newborn portraits.  One of my new lessons for today was to do the wrap shot first which I didn't post here but that always puts the baby to sleep fast and then the other poses are easier to do. Also heat up the room!  You must be sweating for it to be warm enough for a naked baby to sleep.
