Cake Smash-Austin // Murrieta Wine Field
Precious little Austin's mom and I worked hard for smiles and it was all worth it. Is it weird to say I'm obsessed with his smile and those teeth? Yes I said teeth, how can teeth be cute? I have no idea but Austin's smiley toothy grin is the best thing. A favorite part of this sessions comes at the end. I've always wanted to end a cake smash with a rubber ducky bubble bath so I was in Heaven. You better look thru them until the end, oh man you will be smiling so big. Huge thank you to Murrieta Wine Field {Rapheka Ranch} for always being one of my favorite locations.
Newborn // Sage
Well this little angel baby slept pretty much the entire 2 hour session. She let me know move her around and loved to get all cuddled back up or bury herself in my soft cozy props. She was a natural little poser. Make sure you look thru them all and get to the bottom ones because the ones with Sage and her parents are breathtaking. Such a beautiful new little family of 3.

Newborn // Ellie
Oh how I adore sweet Ellie. I consider myself extra blessed that she was my first ever hospital newborn session and then I got to take photos of her in her adorable nursery. I included some sweet shots of her baby room because frankly her Mom did so amazing with the designing. My favorite shots have to be with her little mouth open because it was too cute how no matter how hard I tried she wanted her mouth open. I even tried sometimes to have her close her lips and she would smile, change positions and go back to sleep...with her mouth open. Ellie you are adorable!
Families // Tentman
My very first session on New Years Day 2015 and it just so happened that something amazing happened two nights before. It snowed...in Southern California and it snowed a lot...well for our neck of the woods. I was absolutely thrilled when we started walking down the hill to the forest to see snow was still there. I'm happy to say I didn't slip and fall, even though I can be the most klutzy person. I'm also happy to say I got to photograph some of the sweetest people ever. Glad that they didn't mind working around the snow. Tentman family you had me smiling and laughing the whole time. It was a complete joy to capture these memories for you and on a day when history was made.
Newborn // Ellie {24 hours new in hospital}
I'm so happy that I now offer being able to come to the hospital after a little one is born. It was honestly a dream come true to come meet sweet little Ellie when she was just about 22 hours old to document her newness. I opened up the one window in the hospital room and let all the light in to shine down on her and she was just a little dream baby. She slept the whole time and let me move her about. It made me even more excited for her prop filled newborn shoot tomorrow! Was so honored to help document this time in Ellie and her parents life. Now that I've done this, I'm hooked and look forward to more sessions like this.
