Here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to lately…
About 6 months ago, I photographed my good friend Laura’s baby Lincoln. I love working with her because she pushes me out of my comfort zone. And this time it would be getting a newborn to balance on a not-so-cuddly ottoman from West Elm. Oh yeah, and add in a toddler. We rocked it out and it was worth all the blood, sweat and tears!
Now that Lincoln is coming up on 6 months, it’s fun to see how he and Hudson interact together. Even from the start, Hudson was super into his little bro.
Okay now for the finale…the FUN! Here’s the birthday boy:
And it totally RAINED on our party. But, that didn’t stop people from having fun. And thankfully it didn’t last the whole party.
This lame mom forgot to pull one of the cupcakes I made for a candle and a birthday song and they were all gone! So, I quickly threw some ice cream dibs into a snow cone cup so Jake could blow out a candle and have a wish. 🙂
Making snow globes… We also had Ice Age playing for those that wanted to come inside. It was a great idea…especially for the littler party goers.
The pool was PACKED with kids! (And yes it looks like we lost the one in the pink bath suit…she’s just snorkeling 🙂
The other really really fun element of the party was the photo booth. We put out a white background and just grabbed the kids as they got out of the pool. I had a basket of hats and sunglasses to choose from and a bag of fake snow. I LOVE how they all came out. Kids are so much fun to photograph!!
My sweet friend Shelly took this one of our family!
Here’s a little rainy day sparkle for you…
A cute baby boy in the bucket I just can’t get enough of!
And one of my most favorite photo sessions ever!
I feel like it summer turned into fall this week. Daylight savings only added to the feeling. I know, I know, the rest of the country has had snow for months, but I’m excited to break out the scarves and boots! It’s like a tiny change of seasons…we go from the 80’s to the 60’s!
Anyway, this is my last hurrah of summer-ish sessions for awhile I think!
I bought this bucket a few weeks ago and the flea market and was so excited to find the perfect baby with the perfect hat to take it for a test drive. Oh…little Marco…one day you’re going to wonder why your parents let me put you in a bucket. 🙂
I also took a drive out to Palos Verdes to a new resort… Terranea One of my clients from the Bay Area (when I used to live there) made the drive down and chose the resort as the setting for their photo sessions. It was gorgeous…I need to find an excuse to head out there again!
I’m wrapping up my photo sessions with the gold settee. This was the last set of mini-sessions and we ended with a bang! So many cute photos came out of these sessions!!
And the bucket makes another cameo…this time as a stool!
Here’s a bit of what I was up to last week…
I was at the Seal Beach pier when one day when it was bright and sunny. Ten minutes later the fog rolled in, then back to sun. The weather was crazy and indecisive that day!
I also had a last-minute location change when I found out there was a race going through the park I was supposed to be shooting at. Love thinking on my feet!
And a gorgeous evening photo session in one of my most favorite fields ever!
This post will have to be short on words because I’m a one-woman show this week and lots of photo sessions to run around to! Here’s my week in pictures:
The events that unfolded this week in Seal Beach have left us all a little shaky. Knowing that the future is uncertain. Wanting to hug our spouses and kids just that much tighter.
My heart aches for all the families affected. It makes me look at all these family photos from this week in a whole new light…
