Little Sophie ate so much frosting! The colors look great with the orange, I just love it! I love the huge smile she has when she’s standing…yep! She’s a cutie! Enjoy your sneak peek and happy birthday!

Lucas was hilarious and an absolute joy to be around. His big brown eyes sparkle when he giggles which in turn makes you chuckle to yourself. He did an awesome job getting super messy. Enjoy your sneak peek and happy birthday!!

I met up with this awesome family at a local park and boy did we have fun! We ran, chased, fell, ran, chased, fell, jumped, took a picture or two…then did it all over again! Adisten is one funny little girl. I found myself laughing at everything she did, which probably made it worse because then she did it more. But I couldn’t help it…she’s a cutie! Check out her and her family on a warm California afternoon…

I know, I know….I got carried away on the sneak peek. Oops!

Ahhh…Addison. She was scrumptious when I first met her at only 18 days old and she is even more scrumptious now! You can see her newborn session HERE. I am in love with her ringlets, her smile and her super cute dress that her Mommy made her! Check out her sneak peek…

Baby Mahina has the best-est (lol) big brother EVER! He is the cutest kiddo you’d ever meet and he was great with his baby sister. Mahina was great as well, but boy did she make us work! Thank you all for a wonderful session and spending the day with me. Enjoy your sneak peek! I think I got a little carried away with the sneak peek. oops!

The camera loooves happy babies and it sure did love Colin! What a happy little boy and what amazing blue eyes! We were able to do many different sets because once we would sit him down he would smile and giggle instantly. This kiddo did amazing…check him out! Thank you for a wonderful session!

Clare’s Mommy never seems to miss a beat when it comes to birthday parties. They are always well thought-out and amazing! The details are endless and everyone always enjoys themselves. Ok, ok…so there have only been TWO but they were both GREAT! This year the theme was The Wizard of Oz and I know you start to think..”what does a two year old like about thatmovie”? I’ll be the first to tell you that she loves it!! She is one of the smartest two year olds that I know. SMART!

Thank you for a wonderful time and I hope Clare had the best 2nd birthday party ever! Enjoy your sneak peek and thank you.

All of the guests…

I just loooove the interaction here.

I’m not quite sure what is up with Southern California but the weather is definitely not on our side. It’s July for goodness sake! When I saw what Mom brought for these two girls to wear I knew we were going to have a blast. These outfits are adorable!! Thank you for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

I first met Tony and Hope along with the rest of the family this past November for a family session on the beach. Well let me tell you that this family is non-stop laughter and smiles, during the session I could hardly contain myself. They make you feel as though you’ve known them for years…and I love that!

Today we celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary withsome of their closest friends in Rancho Palos Verdes at the Trump National Golf Course. The weather wasn’t on our side last week but standing on the tip of the bluff, looking out over the ocean was so peaceful and the perfect spot for their vow renewal.

I’m not the best with words but my point is…this milestone is a celebration and I can only hope to stay in love and overwhelmingly happy as they have shown all of us that they have. Without further ado… enjoy!

Congratulations and thank you for inviting me along to capture these special moments.

I love the added touch of the butterfly and got goosebumps when we saw them fluttering about.

Cheers to fifteen more years!

I love the look of a messy table when you’re done. It shows that everyone had a good time!!

I enjoyed myself as well. Thank you.

Abigail took a few minutes to get used to me and being at the studio but once she did she rocked it! She was so happy and even showed us the scrunch face! I loooove the scrunchy face and so did Mommy! Thank you all for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

***UPDATE: The girls cake smash sessions will now have the white backdrop and the same balloons - white and pink. ***

This little man was a ball of energy and you can see it in his smile! At almost two years old it’s nice to watch them figure out what they’d like to do, to watch them involve everyone in the room and to just dance. Yep! Two year old’s looooove to dance! Check this cutie patoodie out!

When I saw how chunky and dimpley and adorable and…okay, you get the point. Well when I saw how scrumptious Mirei was at her cake smash I just new she had to try out my new prop! And horray! Mommy was all for it too! Enjoy!

Amyris was just a itty-bitty baby when I visited their house for his newborn session. Now he’s filled out and is as scrumptious as ever! This little man has dimples for days and his eyes light up when he giggles. Mommy has been waiting for this session since he was born and he did outstanding. Daddy even brought the Harley in for a few shots. You can’t see in this picture but the Harley is awesome! It’s all royal blue…even the rims! Thank you for visiting me and for a wonderful session, as always, lovely to see you two! (And Daddy too! I got some great shots of you Daddy! Please grace us with your presence more!!)

Mirei came in for her first birthday cake smash and she loved it! Mom was worried that she may not like to be messy but boy was she wrong. Mirei ate so much frosting from the cake and played so well. Remember, that if your baby isn’t used to being messy then practice a bit before your appointment and you’ll be glad you did. Mirei, I hope you had a wonderful birthday and enjoy your sneak peek!

I can’t believe how big Ivan has gotten! He was a great listener and he even made me laugh! This kiddo was fun to work with and I know he’ll do great in Kindergarten! Kassie just came along for some fun school pictures and she was a riot! We brought apples along for a few props and she just couldn’t wait to eat them, haha! She kept stealing our props but her smile is infectious. Enjoy!

Baby Kennedy reminded me of Olivia as a baby the entire time we had our session. Kennedy was walking at 8 months just like Olivia and to look back at just how small an 8 months old is just makes me gasp! Kennedy was the perfect model for the day…check her out! Enjoy!

Elise and Rocmmel were a blast to work with. She brought all kinds of clothes that were great! I can’t wait to meet your new baby girl and congratulate you both. Thank you for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

The smiles and energy that this little boy had was definitely contagious. They all had so much fun and the laughter kept us going. They have a soon-to-be pro golfer! Check them out! Thank you for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!
