Twentynine Palms Maternity Photographer – It’s a Girl!

Congratulations to the Davila family.  Thank you for letting me photograph this moment in time yesterday.  A super fun session with a couple of excited parents to be.  They both did a great job keeping the secret until we finished the mini session and got some pictures rady for Facebook.  Looking forward to meeting baby girl Davila.  Love these shots with a vintage overlay, it adds a great color hue to the images.

Shane’s 10 months Session – Oceanside Family Photographer

I have had the honor of photographing this little guy since he was in his momma’s tummy.  The first time I met him was only hours after he was born.  Watching him and photographing him for the past 10 months has allowed me the opportunity to capture his first year in forever moments.   Next stop a “cake smash” for his ONE year photos! Oceanside Baby Photography-10Oceanside Baby Photography-12His mom and I are hoping to create his story through these images, A Year in his Life.  So many changes have already happened over the past ten months!Oceanside Baby Photography-11Yesterday we spent our time playing and capturing this little guys personality which is BIG!  He is such a happy baby that he was all over the place and giggling the whole time.  This picture with Bettina ready to him is one of the few we captured without him on the move.                                Oceanside Baby Photography-7Oceanside Baby Photography-8Oceanside Baby Photography-1                    Oceanside Baby Photography-9          Look at these smiles and these eyes, I think his parents are in trouble because the could melt a heart that’s for sure!

Introducing Some Great Couple Shots

Couples always offer such a varing experience in how I photograph.  From the couples who just just found each other to those who have spent many moments together there is something magical about capturing the emotions related to them – to who they are when they touch!couples photography sessions (2)

Whether I get to snap a quick shot while the kids are running around or I have a session with just the couple tehmselves there is always a moment where you can watch the connection and lucky enough I can see the beauty through my lens!

All Because Two People fell in LOVE!

20121227 Anna-70I am always so honored when I am asked to photograph people – their families, their moments, their smiles, their stories!  This session was no different and I was humbled to have the opportunity to capture this families love and four generations of being together.  Four generations because a man and a woman made the choice so many years ago to be together creating generations of LOVE!    Anna2

It’s hard to believe that so many things can come out of that one moment in time.    Thank you Anna for the chance to capture a piece of your family’s history – your families’ forever.Anna1
