Brooklynn turns ONE

This little cutie turned ONE just a week after our shoot....and what a sweet little girl.   It always amazes me how we can pull off a shoot with a toddler.   I say WE because it is a group effort!!   Mom & Dad and whoever else that may be walking by during the shoot will be trying to get these kiddos to smile and laugh.. and yes, there is crying!  I mean, would you want to be shoved into a wagon tied with balloons?  I didn't think so.     All in all...Brooklynn was a trooper...and so were her parents.
We had FUN!

The Welch Family

I am pretty sure this family could not get any cuter.... 4 gorgeous girls made by 2 beautiful people!  How blessed are they?   I had so much fun photographing this family.   Thanks Welch Family!!

Sweetness

I have been so bad at blogging lately!   Summer is here and I have been trying to balance the kids, work, and play!   I was looking back and realized I never posted the images of this gorgeous little baby boy.   Meet Logan... born into one lovely family.

pure JOY

This lucky little lady has 2 sets of grandparents that absolutely adore her!    It is rare that they are all in the same town at the same time, so of course this was the perfect opportunity for some family photos!  This is my second time photographing Kaya.  It was just a few short months ago that we dressed her up, put her in a box, and took her newborn pictures!   She is such a sweet little girl and obviously a pure JOY for her parents and grandparents.

Hope to see you again soon little one!

The L Family

I met Marirose at work (my "real" job at the hospital)....she is an amazing person,  so kind with everyone she comes in contact with.  She asked me to take pictures of her family and of course I was super excited to capture them!    Mimi is 5 and such a little model, she made my job easy.   Dylan is 5 months and was SOOO happy!!   Grandma (Nanay) came along as well.   What a stunning family on a beautiful Carlsbad evening.  

Thanks for the fun!
