Bryan and Noah for Mom's Day

I met up with Bryan and Noah over the weekend at Roger's Gardens for some "boys" pictures to give to Noah's mommy for Mother's Day. Bryan was really sweet... he sooo wants these pictures to be beautiful and special for his wife on her first Mother's Day. I hope she likes them, Bryan ;)... here 's a little preview with more to come.

Nico Turned One!

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of shooting a fun lifestyle portrait session with little Nico right before his first birthday party. He's adorable and was so happy and full of smiles. You might notice that Nico's mommy and daddy are in the pictures, too. I'm so fortunate that they (Mena and AJ) chose me to photograph their upcoming wedding in August at the newly expanded and very modern Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach. Stay tuned for their e-session on the blog very soon. I had fun guys and I hope that Nico's party went great! Enjoy some of my favorites below...

Tiana is 6 months old!!!

I had the pleasure of hanging out with little Tiana and her mom, Sherral this past weekend for a fun baby session. Tiana turned 6 months old last week and just found her feet! How great that I got to be there to document who she is right now... they grow up so fast. :) I thought I'd share a few of my favorite pictures from the session below. Isn't she just adorable? Enjoy!

Sian's Slideshow...

You might have seen little Sian in a previous post... Here she is with some music and a few more photos. Enjoy!

(It will likely take a few minutes to upload but I think it's worth the wait).

I hope you enjoy the music. The artist is Elizabeth Mitchell and the song is "You Are My Sunshine."

Sian is such a beautiful baby...

Seriously, babies don't get much cuter than little Sian.

Her mom Marisa contacted me to create a multi-generational portrait as a surprise birthday gift for her dad. But, we figured we ought to take pictures of her 6 month old daughter Sian while we were at it.

I can't wait to show you the rest of the pictures of Sian... and make sure you check out my other post that has a preview of your multi-gen pictures. You guys were so much fun and are a really wonderful family. Thanks for making me feel so welcome. Take care and enjoy!

Baby Tyler turns...

16 days old. I had the pleasure of meeting Tyler Andrew Doorn, the first child of Tiffany and Dave Doorn. At 16 days old he was over 9 pounds and is a beautiful little boy. He was such a great subject and is already lifting his head on his own! He's so strong!

Tiffany and Dave seemed like old pros with him and I know they're going to make excellent parents. Thanks for letting me take Tyler's newborn portraits, Tiffany and Dave. I can't wait to take the next round of pictures when he's around 6-8 months old. He'll be so big. Enjoy the slideshow... And... stay tuned for the custom designed baby announcements coming within the next week.

Baby Sullivan...

is soooo cute! I recently took some pictures for his mom's new and amazing baby apparel and accessory company called Cousins Baby Couture. Sarah (Sullivan's mom), her sister, Mimi (one of my best friends), and their cousin Stacy started this company a few years ago when they couldn't find the style and quality that they wanted for their little ones. Their line includes snuggly soft blankets, hip loungewear, stylish apparel, and fun accessories. And, as they say on their website, "you are sure to find the perfect baby gift for your strikingly "couture" baby!"

Here are a few of my favorite shots of baby Sullivan...

Isn't he precious?
