los angeles portrait photographer | jennifer and raul’s maternity session

My dear friends and clients, Jennifer and Raul are expecting their first child, Olivia, next month. I am so thrilled for them! This baby girl is going to be so loved because she is being born to such a loving and supportive family with wonderful friends too. I am looking forward to baby’s first photo session come next month. So, stay tuned!

I’m sure you’ll notice how radiant Jennifer looks and how happy the parents to be are. It’s apparent.

See you guys real soon. Best of luck for an easy delivery!

orange county portrait photographer | the nelson family

I’ve known the Nelson’s for some time now. I photographed Heidi when she was pregnant with her first child, Phoenix. And shortly thereafter, I had the pleasure of photographing Phoenix soon after he was born. This was my first time meeting their newest addition…little sweetie pie, Sailor.

I always love the energy in the Nelson home. It’s so laid back and fun. Dad, Derek is so young at heart and Heidi (seems) to have all the patience in the world. If I were a kid, I’d want to live there too. Haha!

Like Ryan and I, both Heidi and Derek have their own businesses (hence the headshot’s). Heidi is a hairstylist and has the coolest little salon in her home. You can’t deny how valuable having this skill would be. I can’t help but to think how fabulous my hair would look…everyday! :)

What a beautiful and loving family the Nelson’s are. And if they are unsure about having another child to complete their clan, I say “YES”…I mean, they make the most beautiful babies.

Words can’t express how happy I am for the Nelson’s. It warms my heart to be a part of these precious memories.

Phoenix is all boy!

Derek launched Phoenix at least a dozen times…and Phoenix loved every minute of it.

Playing stinky toes!

Fearless!

Never a dull moment with kids!

redlands portrait photographer | the lee family introduces baby charlotte

I am always honored to photograph my awesome clients…Kristi and Jeremy Lee and their two gorgeous children Oliver and Charlotte. The photographs were taken in Redlands California. This was my first time meeting little Charlie…OMG…what a cutie pie. Can you even believe the eyes and lashes on these kids…unreal! I think that Kristi and Jeremy should certainly make more children…haha!

Thank you for always thinking of me to photograph these very precious moments. You have become such dear friends. I am so happy for you both…you are so, so blessed.

Charlotte’s beautiful room.

Ollie felt best about taking photos when he was playing golf. This is a future pro people…mark my words.

I don’t think Ollie knows that his hat is actually on his head. I love this photo.

Showing me his moves.

Sometimes it’s very challenging getting a family photo with small children. We had to include the golf club and offer many bribes.

Are these not the most beautiful eyes and lashes that you’ve ever seen?

Awwww. Seems like just yesterday that I was photographing their wedding. The two lovebirds.

Photographing children can often be difficult…we work on their time…not ours. He’s going to LOVE this pic when he’s twenty. Haha!

Love this sweet photo of three different generations (Mother, Daughter, Grandmother).

I think Charlotte wants Oliver’s ice cream…what do you think?

Ice cream makes everything better!

riverside california portrait photographer | lee family

I spent a lovely afternoon photographing the Lee family in Riverside California…the brother of my client for many, many years. Eric and Qiana have made such beautiful children. I seriously think they should do print modeling. They were all a complete joy to work with too…making my job very easy. :)

los angeles portrait photographer | cecilia

Las Vegas based opera singer, Cecilia Lopez flew into Los Angeles with her family to have her photos taken. Mirna and I had such a wonderful time with Cecilia in the downtown Los Angeles area. She was such a treat to work with…lovely, kind and a wonderful, easygoing attitude. Did I mention how gorgeous she is as well? See for yourself.
