The Carson Girls

I’m working on a super fun new project for Mom*tog and I was lucky enough to have these cute girlies model for me.  Aren’t they just the cutest?  I always have so much fun with them!

First up was a little mini shoot with Janey, who’s just the happiest baby on the planet!  Her super talented Mama, Julie, made this dress!

Then yesterday I took Halley and Lucy out for a fun shoot in the wilderness!

*** Halley and Lucy’s dresses were borrowed from the very talented Tonya Joy.  Thanks, Tonya!

And then on top of letting me borrow her super cute girls, Julie goes and makes me this super cute bag chock full of goodies inside!  Anyone who reads Mom*tog knows why I love this bag so much!  Thank you, Julie!  I absolutely love it!!!

Kerry, Jason, and Baby Luke

Kerry and Jason have an incredible love story.  They started dating in high school at the end of their senior year and after 6 months of dating they broke up.  Then, several years later, they found each other on the internet and began dating again!  Now, after 5 years of marriage they are welcoming their first little one.  How cool is that?

Kerry is a trooper!  At our shoot it was 103 degrees!  I was a little nervous for her because I remember how everything seemed about 20 degrees hotter when I was pregnant, but she did great.  I didn’t even see her break out into a sweat!  And I’m going to ask Jason to be my new assistant.  He was so great to have along, getting Kerry to smile and be comfortable in front of the camera.  He was so encouraging and sweet with her!  You can just tell he’s going to be a great dad.  Besides being an awesome assistant, he’s also an awesome location scouter.  My go to field had recently be torn down, but Jason came to the rescue when he remember a really great field (with amazing light!) that totally worked.  Great job, Jason!

Kerry and Jason – it was so great getting to know you two!  I’m so excited for you to meet Baby Luke very soon!  Parenthood is the hardest, yet most rewarding, fulfilling, and amazing thing I’ve ever had to do.  Life is going to change, but you will never, ever want to go back once you meet your little man!  I know you two are going to make excellent parents!   Congratulations and here’s your slideshow!

Frisancho Family

Although it was hot (very hot!) I had a great time with the Frisancho family!  They wanted green, which is hard to come by in Southern California in August, but we went to my trusty orange grove and made it work :)  Their two kiddos, Lauren and Andrew, were so great and easy to work with.  I mean, how could Andrew not be great with such a cool name :)  I told them I think he should be called Drew.  They said maybe when he’s older :)

Thanks for the fun times and being up for anything!  Here’s your slideshow.

Lauren was a natural, but Andrew wasn’t that into the pictures at first

I can’t remember what we said to get him to start smiling, but it worked!

It was probably something funny I said because I’m so hilarious ;)

Cristina doesn’t like to have her pictures taken.  I think she looks so gorgeous in this shot!  You can’t even tell that there were a bizillion bugs flying around them!
