Jordyn One Year {Children's Photographer, Orange County CA}

As I was driving through downtown Laguna with my windshield wipers on, I was thinking, "this shoot is either going to be really bad, or really good". If only it would stop raining for an hour.... and it did! You can still see some long raindrops hidden in the background of some pictures, but it made for my favorite slightly-cloudy-lighting at the beach. I'm so sad that these guys are moving out of the state, I've photographed Jordyn since she was a newborn.

Newborn Mason {Orange County, CA Newborn Photographer}

This newborn shoot was extra special because it occurred on Christmas Eve! With me leaving for two weeks to Utah on Christmas Day, it was the only option and sweet little Mason's Mom talked me into it :) One of my favorite things about newborn sessions is that I get to spend a few solid hours of undivided attention with a brand new life, sometimes discovering new traits for the first time with the parents (like a dimple). I love my job.

Newborn Ava {Orange County, CA Newborn Photographer}

This sweet thing was a little over two weeks old but still cooperated with my manipulations. I especially love the photo of Ava's sleepy smile on Mommy's chest. So cute. On a side note: my good friend Jessica has started a little accessory business called "monkey bugs" and I'm so excited to be able to use some of her stuff in my shoots! She's got some cute stuff... you should check it out!
