Newborn // Zayden
I had to patiently wait a month to get my hands on this little handsome dude and he was worth the wait. He loved being cuddled, especially by his Mommy. In a month time he almost doubled his birth weight. I loved photographing a healthy, strong, and like I said SO handsome 9 pounder. He slept for the most part really well and loved being bundled up the best. You have to check out the last photos of him, they are far too cute!
Newborn // Aizen
Aizen needs to be a gap baby model. Has has the softest skin, most amazing skin tone, deepest big dark eyes, and I sure love his little lips. We broke his session into two different days because someone didn't want to sleep. I have to admit I didn't mind. I loved his big eyes staring back at me as I snapped pictures, but he definitely wasn't in the mood to model for long. For round two I did a mini arm workout for myself and put him in a basket all snuggled up and rocked him in the air. I may have looked silly but it worked and he fell asleep. It felt like such a victory. I have to say the shot with him all snuggled in with a teddy bear is definitely one of my favorite images I have ever taken of a newborn.
Cake Smash // Cole
Want to know how to make Cole laugh? Sneeze. I seriously cracked up pretending to sneeze or cough (basically act a fool) just to see him smile. Its so surreal to me how I photographed him in his Mama's belly, then saw him last Christmas for family pictures, and now he's 1 and I got to capture his cake smash. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, time is just flying by. Cole truly has such a sweet quiet spirit about him. Make sure to look extra close at these images and his facial expressions. I guarantee you will finish looking thru the blog and find yourself smiling like a goober! Happy 1st birthday Cole!
Children // Alyssa {16 years old}
Alyssa is so beautiful inside and out. I could tell right away from meeting her for the first time at her sisters cake smash that she just radiates sweetness and has a beautiful spirit about her. She's quiet but so smart. She was shy at first but I loved making her laugh. She's a lover of all animals so I knew Murrieta Wine Field aka Rapheka Ranch was the perfect place to capture these moments. Happy sweet 16 Alyssa!
Maternity // Campagna
I could tell from just chatting with Melissa over messenger that she was an absolute sweetheart. I also could feel her joy with being pregnant and adding onto her family. When I met her all that I thought was confirmed. She is genuine and radiates beauty. Her husband was kind and patient. Her step son had me cracking up and was so handsome. I was lucky that they all three basically rocked because at the beginning of the session I thought a monsoon was occurring. Okay I'm totally exaggerating but the wind was out of control. But thankfully because of the Murrieta Wine Field we were able to retreat to the ranch and have fun on the property capturing some real sweet moments. I cannot wait to meet little Amarah in just a few short months. I have a feeling she is going to be the apple of their eyes. Congrats Campagna family on the next chapter of your lives.
