Hey folks! Wow, have I been neglecting this poor little blog of mine or what? I have quite a few sessions to post, so I’ll start with my most recent shoot from last weekend in Marina del Rey. My pal Devan is 7 months old now and he’s still just as cute as can be. Check out the pics of this adorable little guy and his happy family!

Dev ‘n the box:

What a cutie pie (and P.S. I wish I was that flexible):

Happy times:

Love shots like this:

Devan and the Dadelions (sounds like a 60s band :-p):

Hey gang! Just a few words and some pics to share from last weekend’s newborn session in Huntington Beach with 3 week old, Amelie. This little girl was my kind of baby – mellow! Amelie was a very light sleeper on the day of our shoot, but her photos might lead you to believe otherwise :-)

Meet Amelie:

Getting sleepy?

Nope, just waiting for Mom & Dad to join in on the fun:

Thinking about going night-night:

Zzzzz:

Oh, such a cute face!

Here’s a special post for a very special baby I met in Tustin a couple weeks ago. Kiaan was born on July 4th last year at just 25 weeks gestation. If you know anything about the development of a fetus, then you know 25 weeks is way too soon (most pregnancies last 40 weeks, give or a take a few). Little Kiaan was under 2 pounds at birth, but his will to live was much bigger than his tiny body and he fought hard to survive. After spending the first 121 days of his life in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit), Kiaan was finally sent home to be with his loving mommy and daddy. Because preemies have compromised immune systems, Kiaan hasn’t had many visitors, but his parents wanted to be sure to get some photos done of their little fighter because he’s growing up so fast. I was honored when I received their call.  Neha and Jay, thank you for entrusting me with these precious memories of  your new family.  Enjoy your sneak peek and see you next time!

Kiaan’s name means “God’s grace” and Kiaan truly is:

Proud daddy & mommy:

Happy in mommy’s arms:

“Hey ladies, how YOU doin’?”

I love that little smile!

Sweet dreams, Kiaan:

Happy new year everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and are having a great start to 2011. What better way to kick off my first post of the year than to feature a newborn!? Here’s little Miss Avery who got plenty of beauty sleep the day before our session and hardly slept a wink for her photo shoot! Enjoy the pics. I’m going to follow Avery’s lead and get some sleep myself!

Wide awake, wondering who I am:

Alert and cute as can be:

Pondering nap time:

Asleep…finally!
