To Sum it Up [Rossmoor Baby Photographer]

Can we talk for a moment about time? Where the heck does it all go? I totally feel you when you call me and say…I just want to capture my kids the way they are today. His missing teeth are going to be filled in, like tomorrow, with those big adult teeth and that empty space on the top won’t be empty again. I love that you want to freeze time for a moment.

This week I had such a fun session with a 7 and 10 year old. We were running with bubbles and jumping over waves. My kind of work day.

I also finished up the sessions at Rascals to Rebels. The kids were amazing…lots of babies this time around. And I didn’t plan it this way, but the colors and the softness of the backdrop was perfect for babies. So, win win.

And newborn season. Yes, there is a season for newborns. When Baby Morgan came to the studio this week I was talking to her mom about how during the fall and winter months I see a few newborns, but when spring rolls around those babies come one right after the other. So, yeah! We’re into the newborn season!!

Easter/Spring Mini-Session: Field Location [Huntington Beach Family Photographer]

This year’s Easter mini-sessions with the sofa are filled, so I’ve decided to put an extra two dates out there! March 17th and March 30th I’ll be in Huntington Beach and a local park with an amazing long grass field. These will be sunset photo sessions with times starting at 5:30 and ending at 7:00.

I loved this location last year…so I’m excited to bring it back this year! The details are the same: $100 for a 20 minute photo session. As an extra incentive, if you sign up with a friend, you both get a free digital image of your choice! Email me at info@kristineldridge.com or give me a call to book your session! 562-980-6480

Flashback: Spring 2011 Mini-Sessions [Huntington Beach Family Photographer]

This time last year Bethany and I were hustlin’ this white sofa to and fro. One of my favorites from last year was this wonderful repeat client. Her boys are so cute and go from drop-dead gorgeous serious looks to smiles that will light up a room!

Spring/Easter Mini-Sessions [Orange County Child Photographer]

Sometimes you mull over an idea that’s just that…an idea. a concept. Until all the stars align and that idea has blossomed into reality. The whole process starts with scouring all the usual spots. Craigslist, thrift stores, estate sales and the flea market. I’m looking for a piece of furniture that speaks to me. Something that will inspire me to create.

A whole slew of other things has to happen. The price has to be right. The best-husband-ever has to go pick it up. It has to fit inside a sequoia. I have to convince best-ever-husband to load it back into said sequoia for a series of practice shoots. Does my location work? What time of day will it work best? What will the children wear? What will I bribe them with? Can you hang a chandelier from a tree? Oh you know, all the things you check of your list at the end of the day.

Soooo. All the stars aligned and I think I’m more excited about these mini-sessions than any others before. You guys, the location is just. Well, it’s perfect. And it’s in Long Beach. The sofa, it is also perfect. Vintage yet modern- in rich velvet. The chandelier. Hello, gorgeous!

Rascals to Rebels Spring Mini-Sessions [Rossmoor Photographer]

That’s right! I’m back at the best children’s boutique…Rascals to Rebels! This time I’ll be at the Rossmoor store on March 9, 10 and 11. It’s a Friday, Saturday and Sunday with morning and afternoon time slots. Here’s how it works…head over to the store and make a purchase (like a super cute outfit for Easter!). You can sign up in the store for your FREE 15 minute photo session when you spend a minimum of $50 at the store.

This event is for kids only (the backdrop just isn’t very big) and once you see your photos, you only buy what you want…there’s no minimum purchase requirement.

Here’s a few sample pictures on the spring backdrop with the adorable Addison and Jillian!
