Watch them Grow [Long Beach Family Photographer]

I’ve been meaning to blog the last few mini-sessions from February and they were just too cute not to share!

You might remember this little girl from last year. She showed up with her two little dogs…all in matching sweaters. 🙂 Now she has a baby sister!

And there’s also this cutie pie!

She came to see me at Rascals to Rebels awhile back with her adorable lilac glasses. Now she’s all grown up and doesn’t need her glasses anymore!

I’m so thankful for my clients and how I get to see them often and watch them grow!

Love is in the Details [Anthropologie Palm Desert] Photographer

Last summer I was asked to photograph the opening of the Anthropologie in Palm Desert. It’s quite amazing…a team of people work day and night to transform an open space into a finished store in a matter of days. The attention to detail is like none other. And this company knows how to sell! Even in a down economy, they are still opening new stores.

Everything is hand made or found. All hours of manual labor pay off when you see how the theme is woven throughout the store. Every vintage object is scouted out from local thrift stores and flea markets. Laura of Ascot Friday was one of the leads on this project.

Loving these hand-sewn tags. So many of the ideas can be adapted for at home use.

These blocks of wood create height in a table setting. I love the idea of using it for a buffet at a party. Every day items are escalated to chic with a bit of creativity.

Products are separated into the ‘rooms’ of the store.

This hand-made book shelf was so impressive. A million little details that were each so beautiful!

The plants seen in the store are all real…it’s so cool to see how living things are incorporated amongst the product.

Oh these little twig hangers are so cute! I think they’d look perfect in a nursery.

Loving the detail on these hanging lamps…copper and ticket stubs!

The team also made this bead from piping at lace. This definitely needs to be re-created in someone’s home!!

As you can see…love is in the details! If you have never been to an Anthropologie…hope you enjoyed this little peek into the Palm Desert Store! And sorry to kill you with a million pictures…I have hundreds and had a hard time narrowing it down!!

My little muse [Long Beach Child Photographer]

My kids are in elementary school and there’s a part of me that misses the toddler years! Lucky for me, my sweet friend Laura happens to have an adorable 2 year old that’s just about always up for a photo shoot!

I’m looooving his bowtie!

My son Cooper has this same gray cardigan from American Apparel. It’s such a great staple for kids…you can dress it up and down.

No matter what he wears…the perfect accessory is THAT SMILE!

Other than Smiles [Orange County Baby Photographer]

I’ve been a photographer enough to know that every parent loves pictures of their child looking directly into the camera and smiling. And I’m among that crowd too…I want to see my kids looking happy. I want to see them smiling. And I want to see their eyes.

But, there’s more to a child than laughing and smiling. If you’re a parent, you most certainly agree. There’s a million expressions that you love equally as much…plus all the details…like their chubby fingers, curls at the nape of their neck and who doesn’t love a baby’s long eyelashes!?

I’ve been trying to capture a bit more than smiles in my photo sessions. I want to be an observer. I want to notice all the things you love about your child and document them in an artful way. So, Kai here is a perfect example of a happy, smiley little guy…

But he also has the cutest smirk!

And those eyelashes!

And just about every expression in between…

Happy Monday!

The many faces of Rome! Such a lot of personality packed in such a tiny little guy. 🙂

Little Redhead in the Long Grass [Long Beach Baby Photographer]

A few weeks after I took these photos, I drove to the location to scout out some different areas…only to find out the long grass has been mowed. Ugh…it’s so frustrating when the city takes care of all of our parks by trying to keep everything mowed super short AND UGLY. I guess it keeps me on my toes. I have to constantly look for places that don’t look like we live in the city. Maybe it’s my Montana up-bringing coming out again. I don’t want a photo shoot that looks like it took place in a cookie-cutter city park.

Okay…on to the pretty pictures! With the gorgeous long grass…that I miss already!

Isn’t she adorable! This our second photo shoot and she keeps getting cuter!

Easter/Spring Mini-Sessions [Rascals to Rebels Children’s Photographer]

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!

Ladybug Hunting [Orange County Child Photographer]

Hunting for ladybugs in the long grass…such a perfect activity for spring.

Magic [Long Beach Child Photographer]

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!
