Newborn Caroline {Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo California Newborn Photographer}

I have to admit that I was a little worried about how Caroline would handle her newborn shoot, because due to some circumstances we had to push her shoot back a few weeks, making her three weeks old.  Ideally, I like to shoot within 6-10 days old (or under two weeks) because babies usually don't sleep as hard, they get much stronger, and things like colic or baby acne can start to pop up.  Thankfully, she was a little dreamboat and her age actually worked in her favor, giving her a body and face a fuller look.  I took her brother's newborn pictures a few years back, and they look so similar... and adorable!

Moschopoulos Family {Orange County, California CA Family Photographer}

We lucked out with an extremely gorgeous day for this photo shoot (in the middle of January, no less!) but the downside was that the entire California population also thought it was a gorgeous day, therefore infiltrating our beach with sunbathers!  Thankfully the Laguna coves and cliffs make it do-able :)  

This is one of my very favorite families to photograph, their kids are picture perfect.  The baby's skin tones were creamy, soft and luscious as a newborn and it's only gotten better!  I could stare at her all day!

I love how you can see the mom's reflection in her eyes! (may not be able to see it very well with this blog quality...)

This picture was a result of him running around in the surf with his big sister (picture above), and then getting taken down by the undertow.  Nothing that a little sucker (and my sweatshirt) can't fix!
