Moms tend to be the ones behind the camera and don’t have many photos with the kids. Take this Mother’s Day to ask for the gift of documenting your love for your babies! You can also use this photo session as a way to surprise your husband with photos of you and the kids for his office or at home for Father’s Day!
Here are the details…15 minute sessions for moms and up to 3 children. Choose from the dates/times below. All photo sessions will take place on the gray backdrop and be in classic black and white.
Dates/Times:
May 19 3:00-5:00
May 23 9:00-11:00
Location: Long Beach studio
Rates: $100-session and one digital image
There will be other digital image packages to choose from and prints can be ordered a la carte.
Email info@kristineldridge.com to book your session and receive info about the digital image packages.
I love the everyday pictures…the unfolding of life. How quickly kids grow and don’t carry around their superhero lunch boxes!
These photos were taken at the Cal State Long Beach Japanese Garden. It was so much fun to follow around these cousins and see them take in the whole thing.
The kids come with their grandmas and each had their favorite part. His was scooping water out of the fountain. What a fun long-handled cup!
Then he decided to take a drink. It’s one of those moments that I have to decide if I should act like a mom or a photographer. 🙂 I decided to act like a photographer and document the moment while everyone rushed over to say that drinking out of the fountain may not be the best idea.
Thanks for letting me tag along on your adventures through the Japanese Garden!

So. Cute babies. I love ’em.
Wyatt was quite the jet-setter…we made it to the park, the beach, the train and a pile of leaves during his photo session!
Sometimes people shy away from pictures at the beach because they don’t want to be cliche. Instead we focused on bright colors, back lighting and lots of shells to play with!
I always ask parents…what does he/she like to do? After hearing me babble baby talk for a few minutes, they get a little bored! So, parents are usually full of ideas of baby’s favorite activities du jour. Wyatt was into hanging upside down…which got a few laughs and then I love this picture…everyone’s hanging out, Wyatt’s just hanging out upside down.
Just a quick update…all the spring mini-sessions have been filled for April 3 and 7. I also added another date and filled that too! It’s a such a lovely location…but, I wanted to switch things up a bit. I’ve been really inspired by all the yellow wildflowers that are blooming all over southern CA. There are a few places in particular that I love, so I decided to offer two more dates for the spring promotion.

I’ll be bringing this fabulous white rococo chair and a few other vintage pieces…
The previous photos were taken on a very sunny day, but if it happens to be overcast, we’ll have a nice subtle golden glow…
Please email or call me if you’d like to reserve a time slot!
**Update: all time slots have been filled as of April 4. Please email if you’d like to be added to the wait list for cancellations.

If they fill up in a flash and I need to add more, I will, so email me if you’d like to be put on a wait list for a different date. Again, this location definitely looks best right at sunset, so I’m planning the times accordingly.

They traveled all the way from the Bay Area for pictures. We had to reschedule because of the weather and then as luck would have it, Ella fell and got a fat lip running to the car. Such is life. Our best laid plans sometimes end up shattered on the floor. BUT, a good attitude can change things around…and they not only turned things around, they turned them amazing.
Brandon was as cute as can be and Ella was a total champ. She was so sweet with her brother and took direction so well. The last time I had seen her was when she was Brandon’s age! Such fun to see families year after year…
I’m so excited about this newest backdrop for Rascals to Rebels! I’ve been working on it for a few weeks, so getting Hudson (my little muse) and my sweet Jillian for some sample shots was just too fun!
Here are the details: Spend $50 at Rascals to Rebels (http://www.rascalstorebels.net/) and get yourself a complimentary photo session on one of the specified dates. I’ll be at the Rossmoor store on March 11 and 12 from 10am-noon. I’ll be at the Huntington Beach store on March 25 and 26 from noon-2pm. You have to sign up in the store and these spots go FAST! So, go check out all the cute Easter clothes and sign up!
This backdrop isn’t huge…so this is for children 12 and under with a max of 3 children per sitting. The photo sessions last 15 minutes each, which is the perfect amount of time to grab some amazing shots of your cuties!
I love that this backdrop looks great with pastels, neutrals, white and even bright fun colors. I wanted to show off some bright colors on Jillian and I love how she just pops!
Have a great weekend!

Sometimes everything comes together in a photo shoot. The sunlight is golden, moods are high, everything is in perfect alignment. This shoot was one of those days. I could’ve stayed forever with Reed and Kirra. They gave me one priceless image after the other. I loved the way they interacted. And by themselves, they looked straight into the camera like they were showing their true self. Amazing.
I hope we get to do this again soon…it was magic!
