Too Cute – Twentynine Palms Maternity Photography

These two really are just too cute for words.  They are fun, loving and photogenic <3.  There is not much more a photographer could ask for.  They are also busy with life changing right now so they are keeping me busy.  I got to photograph their 2nd wedding before Christmas, be on the lookout for another beautiful blog post soon, and a new arrival soon.  It is always awesome when you get the chance to work with clients through multiple life events.  Saul is also a photographer in some of his spare time only he uses an old school camera, that winds, and film.  We incorporated some mages on that beauty as well so he had to teach me a thing or two (not sure how I did).Twentynine Palms Photographer, Yucca Valley Photographer, Twentynine Palms Maternity Photography, Yucca Valley Maternity Photography 2 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Yucca Valley Photographer, Twentynine Palms Maternity Photography, Yucca Valley Maternity Photography 1 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Yucca Valley Photographer, Twentynine Palms Maternity Photography, Yucca Valley Maternity Photography 3

It’s Baby Time!! – Twentynine Palms Birth Photography

This post is a bit late and long but I am super excited to share it.  I was asked to photograph a birth by some doula friends of mine.  With no birth photography experience I was excited to do it but with new experiences and ones I can’t recreate I was just as nervous.  I have chosen to share this experience in black and white because for me these images give more emotion than the color.

 

This was a home birth in water so as a woman who has given birth to 3 children in a hospital, in a bed I was curious as to how this whole birthing process would work.  Well it was an awesome experience that I am thankful I was asked to be a part of.Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 1 With a doula and two midwives this laboring mom had lots of support.  It was a very calming and natural process that of course netted one of the best gifts; a beautiful healthy baby girl!!Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 2

You may notice that the three other children were a part of welcoming their new sister into the world so this was a family moment shared in a peaceful manner.  All new to me it was an amazing time where what happens naturally actually occurred naturally!!Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 3 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 4 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 5 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 6 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 7 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 8 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 9 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 10 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Birth Photography, Yucca Valley Photographer, Yucca Valley Birth Photography 11

Baby “N” – Yucca Valley Newborn Photographer

Baby “N” was only 7 days old when I got to meet her.  She came into the world at over 10 lbs and was welcomed by her parents and twin brothers!  She slept tight and remained snuggly for us throughout our shoot.  She is a “Year in the Life” package baby so I am super excited to get to chronicle her 1st year!!Twentynine Palms Photographer, Yucca Valley Photographer, Twentynine Palms Newborn Photography, Yucca Valley Newborn Photography 3 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Yucca Valley Photographer, Twentynine Palms Newborn Photography, Yucca Valley Newborn Photography 1 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Yucca Valley Photographer, Twentynine Palms Newborn Photography, Yucca Valley Newborn Photography 2

Baby “H” – Twentynine Palms Newborn Photographer

The smaller details in life, our first born, our itty bittys!  I was happy to photograph this little family’s new addition.  Baby H entered into this world early so he had a few small struggles but was perfection for our session.  These images are all precious to each family and are time sakes for each of them.  I hope the H family loves each and everyone of them.

There is always something awesome about being with people when they just enjoy smiling; the infectous smile of this momma to be was so much fun to look at over and over, picture after picture because they were just enjoying being together.  That is where forever stories begin and shortly they will share that with one more!  Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Maternity Photographer - Segura 8 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Maternity Photographer - Segura 2 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Maternity Photographer - Segura 7 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Maternity Photographer - Segura 10 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Twentynine Palms Maternity Photographer - Segura 6

Gehris Family Session on Oceanside Beach

This family has become so dear to my heart!  Bettina and I met each other through work but she has become a dear friend and I have felt so blessed to capture moment after moment of this family’s journey.  This session was the first that we were able to have Angie, the off at college daughter so we have a complete family picture.  The Gehris family is getting ready to welcome another addition so I am very excited to do a gender announcement with them next week, look out for the BIG announcement!

Adela and Juniors Engagement Session

When I met Adela to discuss her upcoming wedding day and the photography I knew I had met a genuine person.  Her smile lights up a room and when I met her fiancé Junior I saw that they both had amazing smiles, our engagement session in San Diego was full of laughs.  As we walked around the Embarcadero, changing scenery for different backdrops one thing was obvious; these two enjoy each other and are excited for the future that’s only around the corner.  Yesterday I photographed the big day, what an amazing experience as a photographer and someone in awe of all the culture and customs their families share.  Be on the lookout for more about Adela and Junior as we follow them onto their wedding day!Twentynine Palms Photography - San Diego Photography - Engagement Session - Adela and Junior 6 Twentynine Palms Photography - San Diego Photography - Engagement Session - Adela and Junior Twentynine Palms Photography - San Diego Photography - Engagement Session - Adela and Junior 4 Twentynine Palms Photography - San Diego Photography - Engagement Session - Adela and Junior 3 Twentynine Palms Photography - San Diego Photography - Engagement Session - Adela and Junior 2 Twentynine Palms Photography - San Diego Photography - Engagement Session - Adela and Junior 5

Emma turns One!

Cake Smash sessions are always fun and so unique!  Emma’s was no different, she isn’t quite one yet so this was her first cake smash and she went for it!  We had a nice session in the Joshua Tree National Monument, we snuck in a mini family session and then Emma was dressed for her 4th of July birthday for a cake smash.

Twentynine Palms Photographer – Ben and Ashley

My sessions always touch my heart and make me feel blessed to capture some moment in time but when I get to photograph my nephew and his girlfriend as they begin a new chapter my heart overflows!  Ben and Ashley are on a new adventure; they are moving away from California.  My hopes and wishes for them are of course grand and what a better way to decorate a new residence than with some new couple’s photos!

Twentynine Palms Photographer – The Hemmingers say good-bye to 29

During a busy crazy day I left my step stool at Knotts Sky Park, a photographer shooting her own session that day was nice enough to pick it up for me, find me on the internet and call me so I could come get it!  So awesome to find good people who will go out of their way to be nice; well her husband is getting out of the Marine Corps this week so what better gift than to do a session with them before they leave.  I was a little nervous about how things would go photographing someone else who feels the same passion I do for photography but oh my did we have fun!!  What a great couple and what a bunch of great images.   The Hemmingers are leaving for new adventures and I wish them all the luck, I am so glad I met them and was able to capture one last peek of here for them.
