{ Browning 4th of July Session } Twentynine Palms Family Photographer

The Brownings and I met last December through a garage sale purchase, from there I have had the pleasure of getting to know them and watch them grow as a family.  Pregnant when we met they asked me to do their newborn pictures, since that we have met on a few more occasions to celebrate this first year in their daughter’s life.  Always one of my favorites to work with a family again and again.  Doesn’t always work that way in a military town.

These two are super proud of who they are, the country that they serve and their family.  We have been able to capture that throughout every session while allowing their families to see this little one blossom and grow.  I believe Hilary and I bully Ethan just a bit but he is always smiles and a good sport; even when we pulled out the tutu at this last session.

{ Ashleigh and Andre’s New Little One } Twentynine Palms Maternity and Newborn Photography

These two came to me in May for their maternity session so I was excited to also be asked to photograph their new little one shortly there after.  We met half way at a small park in Lucerne Valley for an outdoor session where we had lots of fun.  A cousin came along so of course we had to add her into the session.  With two active duty parents this little one is in for an adventurous lifestyle.

Photographing newborns is always amazing to me.  The opportunity to capture a time in a family’s life that is new and all about love.  Each story different and full of exploration of who you have become as an individual, as a parent, and as a family.  What an honor to be asked to be a part of this time in each of my client’s lives!

When Lucille’s mommy contacted me about scheduling a Cake Smash session I was super excited.  With ideas in hand we scheduled her session for a gorgeous local preserve and park; one that the family frequents often so it made for a perfect backdrop to memorialize this occasion.

I met Lucille’s mom through business dealings about two years ago so I was lucky enough to see her transition from wife to mom as her belly grew.  We lost touch for a bit but when she emailed me to capture the First Birthday images I couldn’t wait.

Lucille with her beautiful porcelain skin was delightful to photograph as we moved through a few different set ups.  She definitely wanted to be on the move and was very serious the entire time we were shooting.  With family all over, including Canada, I know all be excited to see this stuffed animal party and Lucille’s cheek.  When not looking at her beyond poofy cheeks you may be caught in those blue eyes.  I know I was.  She wasn’t a huge fan of the cake which in the long run always makes mom happy she played along for us so we could get some adorable shots with lots of facial expressions I am sure will make everyone smile.

Thank you again Dusastre family for letting me capture this exciting day!

I love maternity sessions; I love babies so I was super excited when Katrina and Will decided to let me capture their new adventure.  Since they are here on a short military tour they wanted to make sure to capture the beauty of the desert; the birth place of their new life together as mom and dad!  With baby due to arrive soon be on the look out for more gorgeous images of this family.

8 month old twins, mom and dad, the park what a good morning.  These two weren’t too sure that they wanted to participate in our photo session but through some playing and fun they got on board.  They couldn’t have been cuter and this session was pretty awesome since this family was just reunited after a long deployment.  These little guys were all about mommy and daddy, big smiles, some shoulder time, the swings and we captured a little piece of their story!

As their family’s adventures were taking them across the world to Italy they wanted to capture a piece of their time here in the beautiful desert.  Despite the windy conditions they showed dressed in gorgeous colors and ready to have some fun.  We did a little climbing, maybe some bribing and most definitely some great picture capturing.  Capturing the National Park was important because they enjoyed many times climbing and hiking while stationed here.  I’m glad I was able to send a little piece of the desert with them!

{ Hailee’s Senior Session } Twentynine Palms Senior Photographer

Hailee is a recent high school graduate ready to make her way in this world.  Always exciting for me to capture this time in life so I was glad we were able to get our schedules together.  We traveled through out the Basin to capture some desert scenes and some green.  I think both settings gave us a perfect mix with Hailee’s great smile for some amazing senior shots!Twentynine Palms Photographer - Yucca Valley Photographer- Twentynine Palms Senior Photography - Yucca Valley Senior Photography - Hailee
