Archive for September, 2008

Wow! Where is the year going? I can’t believe September is coming to an end and Rowan is now six months old! Of all the sessions I shoot in the first year of a baby’s life, I’d have to say that the 6 month session is my absolute favorite. It’s when babies are able to show off their newest tricks,like sitting up, or rolling over, but they usually can’t crawl yet, so I’m able to hold them captive in front of the lens. Good times!

I don’t know if Rowan would agree with that last statement, considering we woke him up early from his nap (again!). Last time we did that, we had a heck of a time getting him to smile. This time around, it was a lot easier and Rowan gave us a few grins before calling it a day.

Look at that sweet face!

I processed this one vintage style to go with Rowan’s retro look:

This has got to be my favorite from the session. What a little angel!

Yawn…Our session would soon come to an end:

The End:

Mohammad: Amazing Professional work and sets, back ground beautiful and colorful shoots. Keep up the great work.

Gary-Joe of Lakers: Fabulous photography of the Glen-Candice wedding and fabulous special (3D) visual affects with the portraits! Could not have asked for a more perfect wedding for a more ideal couple. Was a very blessed day and moment! The immaculate photography added to the event!

Last Saturday I trekked it up to Valencia to meet Ayden and his super nice mom and dad, Shabana and Anand. Ayden was a dream baby to work with – the best newborn yet! He slept almost the entire shoot (everyone knows how much I love a sleeping newborn) and only cried when it was feeding time – I do the same thing when I’m hungry. :-) It was a great shoot and I’m already looking forward to Ayden’s 3 month session!

Look at all that hair!

Isn’t he the sweetest?

His dad says he could be a referee:

Last Saturday I headed out to Huntington Beach for a surf session…uh, no wait, that’s what I did at 5:30 this morning. Let me start again. Last Saturday I headed out to Huntington Beach for a photo session with a wonderful family. Diahann and Bryan are former neighbors of ours who we got to know when we would see each other unloading surf gear on the weekends when most people were just getting out of bed :-) Well, Diahann and Bryan had the good fortune of moving closer to the beach and I got the chance to see their gorgeous new home and photograph their beautiful little girls, Ava and Emily. We had lots of fun and I had an awesome location to work with. Diahann and Bryan, it was great seeing you guys again. Let’s get together soon!

Sweet little Emily:

Ava and her golden locks:

Sisters:

Say “cheeeeese”!:

I love this little family moment:
