Family Photo Shoot

Oh how I love this family.  They are a repeat from last year.  You can see last year's photo shoot here.  

This little guy has grown up so much.  He is going to be GOOD at sports when he grows up.  No fear--his dad has had him up on the wake board with him already.  He is such a little ninja!  He was running and summer-salting all over the place--serious skills! 

The Whittier Roses

Living in Southern California you can't help but want a family photo on the beach.  And I have to say...it is tricky business getting a good photo over there.  The weather is very unpredictable.   These little guys were such troopers.  It was sooooo cold and windy!  But they were determined, to get a good photo for their mama, and did such a good job.  I did some headshots for mama here. Such a beautiful family, so glad they're close by. 

Baby Bollard

This little cutie patootie arrived a bit early!  You saw her mama's maternity photo session here.  When I photograph newborns, I like them 2 weeks and under.  They are super sleepy and easy to shape and pose.  Well miss Madeline did not want to go to sleep at all!  And when she did "sleep" she still had her eyes cracked open just a bit.  Come to find out...thats how she sleeps!  You'll have to ask her mama about that!  :)  But she is absolutely adorable--heaven sent. 

I think these next few photos are my favorite.  They are so much more emotional.   They show a relationship.    A young mother and her baby.  Mom will always look back at these and think, oh my goodness, her head fit into my hands.  And baby girl will look back on these pictures and think....wow my mom is so pretty and young!  :)
