{Lee, Crystal & Bentley}

Somehow whenever I shoot out in the fields God decides that he should send some rain down in lovely Southern California. It rains probably 20 times a year in Orange County and twice now those days have been durning my outdoor shoots!! All is ok though because as we drove up to the fields the rain just stopped! It was awesome. Then we had an extremely fun shoot. Lee and Crystal were great and they brought along their puggle Bentley. He is so cute and he was very well behaved. Here is a little tip for you photogs out there photographing dogs: Place a little doggie treat on top of your mini soft box on your flash. The dog, in this case Bentley, will sit still and smile at you for as long as you like!! Then of course feed him, lots :) To say the least this was another fun shoot, in one of my favorite locations, and Lee and Crystal got some fun Christmas pics! Oh, I should mention that since we shot in late November Lee still had the remains of his "Movember Mustache" so we used it to our advantage and had a little fun with it...

{Kaia}

I have two words that describe this shoot: BLUE EYES! Wow, I have never seen any baby with as bright blue eyes in all my days of infant shoots than I have with Kaia. Her eyes are outrageously beautiful., she got them from her mom. This shoot was so awesome because Kaia's dad is one of my best and longest friends. He is am amazing dad and so lucky to have such a precious little girl.

{Olivia & Rocco}

Plain and simple, kids crack me up. Rocco and Olivia being two kids that made me laugh almost the entire shoot. We basically ran around down at the fun zone on the Newport Peninsula. We took some photos, they ate some hotdogs and we just had fun. PERK of living in SO CALI is it's bright and sunny at 70 degrees in December!!

{Olivia @ 3 Months}

I can't believe how big Olivia is already getting! I photographed her at just 3 days old back in Sept. We did these photos when she was about 3 months old and did more with her amazing Mom and Dad! She gets cuter everyday and I am so happy I had the privilege of taking more photos of her. One of the best parts of my job is being able see couples and families grow. I am sure this won't be the last you see of Olivia!

{Gabriel & Sebastian}

These two boys just might be the cutest ever! They are growing up as fast as can be. Sometimes photographing kids can be quite the challenge. Let's face it kids and toddlers have a mind of their own and so the trick is to make them laugh. Be SILLY! Be FUNNY! Once you do that they barely even notice that the camera is around. It does also help to bribe ever so often with SUGAR!!
