Then Comes Baby

Did you hear?  It snowed in Orange County this weekend…

I have so many awesome sessions to blog, but I had to share just one from my weekend of holiday mini sessions.  What until you see the awesomeness that Julie Carson styled.  It’s amazing.  She’s amazing

I had so much fun meeting new families and seeing old clients.  And it didn’t even rain one drop on us!  Yeah!

More coming soon!

I was so excited to finally get to photograph the Morrison family!  Shelley has contacted me a couple of times and we were never able to schedule a session.  But, finally we were able to make it work! I actually got to meet Shelley a few months ago when her mother and future sister in law came to the studio for a wedding photography consultation.  So happy I get to work with them again at her brother’s wedding next Summer!

I love, love, love shooting kids that are close in age to my son, Brayden.  Lucas is 4 and he’s hilarious!  So much like my son.  We fast became friends and he was going right into my bag to find the treats I carry   He is a total free spirit and such a boy.  He was really fun to photograph!

Logan is 6 months and, boy, did he made me work to get a smile out of him!  He’s a super happy little guy, but just woke up from a nap.  Finally at the end of the session I figured out what made him laugh!  And it was so worth the patience because his big, gummy smile is too cute!

I love a family who can have fun together and appreciate each other.  Josh’s work keeps him away from home a bit and Shelley is a nurse, so their schedules are a bit crazy right now.  But, it’s evident that they are so in love with each other and with their children.  Which made it very easy to photograph them and capture the fun they have together as a family.

Thanks for the fun afternoon, Morrison family!  I had a great time getting to know you all!  Here’s your slideshow!

This is my third time shooting this wonderful family in 2 years.  When I first met the Metcalfs Lily was turning two.  She was shy.  Super shy.  With each session I’ve done, Lily has trusted me more and more and come out of her shell.  Now I will call her Silly Lily!  She is so funny and fun to be around.  She loves ballet, likes to chase birds, is a Mama’s girl and loves cotton candy.  Lily is just a month older than my son and it’s so fun to see the comparisons between the two of them.  Their personalities are so alike!  The good and the bad.  Ah, 3 year olds!

I’m so lucky that my clients entrust me with their memories year after year.  And the Metcalf family is no exception.  Thank you for allowing me to photograph your family and see Lily grow!  It means so much!  Here’s your slideshow!

We got so lucky that the lifeguard tower we just happened to park next to had an “M” for Metcalf.  Totally unplanned.  But, now I have to go find the “B” tower for some pictures of my own kids!
