Twentynine Palms Newborn Photographer – Baby D

So this sweet little man was so snuggly and sleepy we were able to wiggle him into several positions and lots of props!  I know his mom is excited to see all these amazing images; she wanted to make sure that she captured her little man while he was still so small!Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Newborn Photography - Twentynine Palms Photography - Dittmer 2 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Newborn Photography - Twentynine Palms Photography - Dittmer 5 I think he just might be ready to attend his first formal in this tie.  This is the first time I have used this prop and I am totally in ❤ with the result.Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Newborn Photography - Twentynine Palms Photography - Dittmer 1 Again sweetness over flowed for this session as he was really so very good at sleeping and looking cute!  I think the below yawn was the only real fuss we got out of him for the day!Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Newborn Photography - Twentynine Palms Photography - Dittmer 4Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Newborn Photography - Twentynine Palms Photography - Dittmer 6 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Newborn Photography - Twentynine Palms Photography - DittmerIf you want to chronicle this time in your life please let me know so we can schedule your session!!

Cole Estrada Wildcat Senior 2014

Another senior session done!  I have had so much fun this year with all these great seniors.  So Cole and I have worked together a few times now and it keeps getting better.  There are so many great shots from this session that I may have even over shared 🙂Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 2 These images are so significant for a variety of reasons first if you know the Estrada’s you know that they breathe football, all of them.  Second, if you are familiar with our little town this is where Cole began and ended his youth football career first as a Storm player and finally as a Twentynine Palms High School Wildcat.  His brothers pictured below are following in the same tradition. Finally this score board behind him was a bit in the making so to be the first graduating class to use this board also makes these images unique.Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 9 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 10 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 6 These great images were shot in his grandparent’s well decorated yard and turned out amazing.  I think we finally have a good work understanding so taking pictures of Cole has become easy!Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 4 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 11 If you have had the pleasure of meeting this young man you have seen the amazing smile that he possesses but you also know that is a pretty serious young man at times!Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 5 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 3 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 7 This image is Cole’s original artwork as it hangs in our local Art Gallery.  He is an extremely talented young man and I was very excited we were able to capture this image!Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 8 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 13 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 1 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Senior Portraits, Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Cole 12

Rob and Andrea, The Family

So when Andrea contacted me about doing their first family photo I was super excited!  There new adventure is a bit reminiscent of my family’s journey.

To say the boys in this family were simply here because they were told to arrive was an understatement but before too long they would be right in there with new posing ideas and fun pictures!

Twetynine Palms Photography - Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Dailey 9 Twetynine Palms Photography - Twentynine Palms Family Photographer - Dailey 8Making time to capture the ❤ that has brought this family together is always so important.  It is easy when we are raising kids to forget to stop and look at one another for a moment!  As you can see these two enjoyed that moment to the fullest, I couldn’t get them to now smile at each other!

It is also a great way to torture our children 🙂

Jake Culver’s Senior Session 2014

I have felt so blessed this past month with all the Wildcat Seniors that I have photographed!

Meet Jake he is a Wildcat Senior who is a scholar and athlete.  Jake plays football, basketball, and now track.  He is college bound with a stellar GPA and all around a nice guy.  We had fun wondering around Twentynine Palms looking for new locations, backgrounds and textures to photograph during this session.  He was a good sport most of the time 🙂

Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Culver 5 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Culver 3 I have been lucky enough to not only watch Jake grow up over the last few years but to also consider his family friends so his mom and I thought pictures could go on forever; he on the other hand thought we were done.

If you look through just even these peeks you will see we got a LOT of great images!Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Culver 6 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Culver 2 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Culver 7 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Culver 1 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Culver 8 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Culver 4If you are interested in your own personalized Senior Session please contact Memories by Tasha!
