Swim or Shower? That is the question....

It's summer time and the kids are living in the pool. Today they had the option to either jump in the shower or jump in the pool... This is what they decided....

I wanted to do a Laundry Shoot for a Family Session. I had this family all lined up and they weren't too keen on having them taken this way... So it burned and burned inside me and I just had to make it possible. Guess it's time to load up the kids... I called my little Bro for help and we went for a little walk with a wagon full of fun props! Best last minute decision ever!

Three Little Love Bugs | Children Photographer

On this session, I found that the kiddos were almost as excited as I was. They were nothing but smiles. You never know what kids will be like on a photo shoot... Most of the time, it takes them a little bit to warm up to me and my camera... but these little ones were nothing but smiles and Love! :)

Valentines XOXO | Loving Photographer

This little Lady has my Heart.  I love that this day reminds us to always Love One Another...

Making New Friends...

The respect I have for my clients goes above and beyond. Once we get to hang out for a good hour or hour and a half, you have now become my friends. So what I'm really trying to say is... I really hope you like me because this will go a lot smoother if you laugh at my jokes instead of hearing the sound of chirping crickets... Trust me it's not cool when I laugh at my own joke followed shortly after by chirping crickets... not cool. Anyway... back to this Beautiful Family Session. This was so much fun and such a Nice, Outgoing Family. I felt as though we all really laughed together...(well, I hope anyway)

It's time for Family Photos...

Another Amazing Family I had the pleasure working with. I know they thought that this day was probably a big Fail... but I knew what I was seeing, and I knew what I was capturing. Their little guy really wasn't feeling this photo session day. Mom and Dad were really worried and I had to constantly remind them that "it's OK". Times like these when i decide to let the little one run the show. I know as a mom we stress about not getting that perfect shot... we stress that our kids are crying, maybe even screaming... and then we think that this was a Bad Idea. I honestly believe that when kids are comfortable and are able to relax and unwind... I go to work to get some "REAL" shots. Shots that we as mom or dad get to remember. We get to see our real child as they were at that age, at that moment. How he played, how he walked, how he laughed, and smiled. It's real.

Mommy and Me

It was so nice to meet Yvette and her Beautiful little girl. I had such a great time visiting El Centro and It's always nice to just get away from home. I book clients out there maybe once or twice a year. I know for sure that I will be back for Christmas Sessions and dates will be posted after summer. Thanks for trusting in me and for being so fun and easy going.

New and ALL for ME

I took time out today to do something for myself. Due to lack of Wall Space in my house... well, Lack of ANY Space in my house... I wanted to update my ONE wall. I didn't want to make this a huge project, but I've been wanted a beautiful Gallery Wrap Canvas from my printing company. I wanted One Photo for One Wall.. Simple is my name.
I ended up by making this decision really difficult. My kids absolutely hated me by the end of this shoot, and Mom wasn't too happy with them either. Geesh! what a hard shoot... but at the end of the day, they are all that matters to me and I'm comfortable to not have to show their everyday lives to prove to anyone for everyone to see...













I LOVE my Cool Kiddos...

Another Little Angel

So So So honored when a long time friend asked me to photograph her new baby girl. This was daughter number three and Daddy better watch out! All three girls as precious as can.
Newborns sessions are always different. Always. You never know what you're gonna get... I totally stole a Forrest Gump Quote right now... Yes I did. Ok. So, as I was saying, you never know if that little bundle of Joy is going to sleep, deep sleep, sleep and wake up sleep, not sleep, stare, move, lay still, lay still sleep and then wake up, scream, eat, poo, pee, sleep poo, sleep pee, OK. I think you get it. Newborn sessions take lots and lots of patients and when working with Life's little Miracles... How can you not be...

{Layla}

I think I'm going to let these photos do most of the talking...all I can say is "I get to photograph the cutest babies EVER!" Little Layla did an awesome job from start to finish. These came out beautiful and simple and I'm so happy I got to capture some of her first photos...

Just Another Day...

So we are back in the swing of things.... Well .. Kinda. Time to get the kids back to school, time to get organized, time to wake up early and get to work... Boy was I WRONG. Not at All. Little Charlie wasn't going to let Tante (that's me) get anything done. Nope. He's just not gonna make that happen. So, I'll just sit right in front of his face ALL DAY. That's what we do. Love HIM soooo much!







Didn't want his dad to think I was turning him into a super model...
