Baby Claire is on her way! | Orange County Beach Maternity Photography

This momma is glowing with that mom-to-be glow!  She and daddy seem so happy to be inviting Claire into the world this June!  It is an exciting time I get to share with them now and again when Claire arrives!

Celebrating First Holy Communion | Tustin Communion Photographer

M will be celebrating her first communion later this month so they came in for some formal portraits.  I can tell she recognizes this as a special time in her life.  She was very respectful of the process and I could see her taking great consideration when handling her rosary and prayer book.  There is something extra special about her prayer book... it was her mother's when she took her first communion.  I love the sentiment!  I am so lucky to be a part of special milestones in peoples lives!

Precious H | Irvine Newborn Photographer

H came to me when he was nearly 6 weeks old.  Both mom and I were worried we might have some trouble getting pictures of him being that he was so much older than I recommend for a newborn session.  He was definitely much more alert than I am use to, but we got some fantastic images with some wonderful eye contact!  I am so please with this sweet boy's pictures!  Thank you Momma and Grandma for bringing H to me.

My Very Talented Cousin | Atlanta Harpist Photographer

My Niece is one of the most talented and gifted harpists I know... well, I really don't know any other harpist, but if I did, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be so talented by the age of 15.  H has actually been working events for a couple years now, I think she started her business when she was 13!  Please check out her website here: www.harpistfortheking.com.  And if you are in the Atlanta area and planning a wedding or other elegant event, please consider hiring her.

Janie | Mater Dei High School Senior Portraits

This portrait session was extra special to me... Janie has been a part of my life since she was 6 months old!  I babysat her a couple times a week for years and she was in my wedding when she was just 6 years old (along with both of her sisters)!  If that doesn't make me feel really old then I don't know what will?!?!  I truly am having a difficult time accepting that she is graduating high school this year!  She has grown from a beautiful girl to a gorgeous lady!  How does time fly so fast?!?!

Love you Nanie!  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

4 Day Old H | Irvine Newborn and Family Photographer

H was the youngest newborn I have ever shot... just 4 days old when he came to see me!  He smelled of newness that made my ovaries ache!  And these two adoring big sisters were so precious with him!  Thank you B family for bringing sweet H to me for his debut portraits!  What a sweet boy he is!

Beckman High School Senior Brandon | Class of 2012

Brandon was resistant to having his senior portraits done with me, well at all really.  But after some insisting by mom, we finally got a session on the calendar.  And I am pretty sure that if you asked him if he hated it, he would tell you it wasn't as bad as he thought it was going to be!  Congratulations Brandon!  Enjoy the rest of your senior year!
