Maternity at the Ranch

July 10, 2009

This is a session I had at a beautiful ranch here in southern California recently. This family was so fun and sweet, and they happen to be using the same midwives I used for the birth of my daughter. Their son was also a Star Wars fan (my son is as well) and brought along a clone trooper costume, which was fun (it’s clone trooper not storm trooper, I believe! I did get this wrong a few times and was quickly corrected ;) ). I can’t wait to meet the new addition when he arrives!

Unfortunately, I have been sick recently, but things are getting better once again (thankfully everyone else here at home is fine!), and I’d like to share a maternity session I had a bit ago. It was great- and I must say, pools might be better than the ocean for maternity sessions- very fun! We did have a little mouse scare, but other than that things went great. 

Jumping on the Bandwagon

August 19, 2008
With all this talk about blogs, I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon and start one of my own. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing some amazing children and families recently. I’d like to share a select few from some recent sessions.

This little girl was so full of personality. We started off in her home but decided to walk to a nearby park and I’m really glad we did. She really opened up once we got there and had so much fun. She had the most amazing eyes, as you can see.







California has some lovely beaches, and it was fun going to one I had never been to before. This family was such a great family to be around. You could feel the love and happiness between them during this session.







I had so much fun with this energetic two year old. The poor little guy did so well considering the water spray park was right there tempting him the entire session. He was such a happy camper when he *finally* got to go play in the water.






This little guy was a pleasure to photograph. He was such a happy and content baby with the most gorgeous eyes.  He loved his parents (and grandparents too!), but I think he enjoyed playing with the dog’s water bowl the most.




This particular session was with an adorable sibling pair. Full of energy, we had a blast during this session. We have a little “accident” during the course of the session. Their mother and I were talking about how the little girl was getting close to the water while chasing the ducks. Literally seconds after we discussed how we hope she doesn’t fall in, what do you know, the poor thing fell in. She had a quick recovery and was back to running and playing in no time. Thankfully, by the edge the water wasn’t deep and her dad was right there of course.
