I’m not even half way through editing all the doggie pictures…but here are a few more to share!

Chloe, Neiko, Molly, Shakespeare and Hurley

Lots more to come!

Today I met up with Peter and Maggie for a little practice session at Anthropologie.  I worked with the amazing Laura and Meagan to come up with a fabulous set for our doggie sessions this Saturday.  They even arranged for Peter and Maggie to be my doggie models.

I love this chair…maybe I should just take it home with me afterward!

I’m so excited about Saturday and all the fun things we are going to come up with for the doggie photo sessions!  Thanks again to the lovely Peter and Maggie for modeling. 🙂

How can you not have fun while wearing a tutu!?

This little cutie came out for her one year pictures at The Rascals to Rebels Event in Huntington Beach.  Look at those eyelashes!  I thought only boys got eyelashes that long and curly. 🙂

I think I might have to require that tutus be worn by all one year olds at photo sessions. 🙂

I gotta tell ya…I love clothes.  When clients show up in cute outfits…I am so inspired.  I love the way that a well-put together outfit can take a photo shoot to the next level of cuteness. 🙂

H&M is one of my favorite places to shop for my own kids and I was thrilled with Kathy showed up with her kids decked out head to toe in H&M Fall.  LOVE!  The boys skinny jeans are amazing and the pricing on everything at H&M is super affordable.

There were SO many cute outfits today…I can’t wait to share more on the blog in the next few days!

I love newborns…everything about them…the way they arch their back, then curl up.  The smell, oh my goodness.  They just smell new.  And tiny fingers and toes…so cute.

All this to say, I was more than tickled to hear that someone signed up for the Rascals to Rebels mini-sessions while she was pregnant.  She knew she was having a c-section and that date happened to be a week before the Rascals to Rebels event.  What perfect timing.  Little Cole would be a week old, the best time to have newborn pictures taken.  My only complaint was that 15 minutes just wasn’t enough time. 🙂

He did, however, curl up on my woven chair and smile at me.  Perfect.

I’m in love…

So, it’s no secret that I love kids in color for photos.  Go bold…it always pays off.  Kids have such perfect skin tones and sparkly eyes. They can pull off colors that might be a little much for people over 18!

These little girls from yesterday totally stood out to me, because their outfits were fun and full of color.  I love the richness in the photos.  Way to go, mom!

I love to put together clothing inspiration boards for my clients and even shop for them.  The right clothing takes images from good to fabulous!!

I’m up to my eyeballs in cute pictures right now!  I love Rascals to Rebels and I love all the cutie pie kids that came by today.  I’ll be editing pictures for awhile, so I wanted to share a little stunner from the morning!

Have a great Friday!!

I think I’ve won the lottery of cute families!  Lately, it’s been one after another. 🙂  Here’s one more to add to the list!

Hello, eyelashes!  He’s already got me smitten.

I have this thing for european clothes on kids…ahhhh so cute and fun with unexpected twists on the usual.

There’s nothing cuter than a boy and his dog…

Even though it’s still as hot as ever in Long Beach, this beautiful location made me feel like fall is just around the corner!  It’s such a great time for lighting…all mellow and golden.  Yum!

Yesterday evening, I met up with Kristin and her family at their favorite beach.  I’ve decided my family needs to visit this beach too…with its old architecture, clean sand and quaint little cafe.

After walking through the tunnels under PCH, we decided to stop and take some pictures…in front of Life is Beautiful.

These guys are the big brothers and sister to ‘Baby G’ …who was so fast his feet hardly touched the ground!

I did get him to sit for a very quick second at the end of our photo shoot!

We found a cute little corner of tropical foliage with the perfect amount of light peeking through…

After a few posed pictures, it was time for fun fun fun!

I just happened to catch this quieter moment with Baby G and his mommy.

These two were my little posers and came up with this one on their own.  So cute.

We finally convinced all the kids to be in the same frame together…then they decided to ham it up a little!

I love how mellow the lighting is at the end of the day…and a sweet captured moment only makes it better.

Thanks cute family for a wonderful night at the beach!  I can’t wait to show you more pictures of your family having fun together. 🙂
