It was so wonderful to go to a new spot to capture this newborn baby girl, Sage. A special spot to the family which made me strive to get some unique shots. I got to start off the shoot photographing big brother, who made me giggle. When he smiled so big I couldn't help but smile so big. Since Sage didn't want to sleep just yet, we did family photos in front of their big special tree they love and the light that early evening was just beautiful. It wasn't until the last 20 minutes or so of the shoot that Sage finally drifted off to dreamland and since she didn't want to be moved from this one snug prop, I tried to change up different looks and be creative. I'm so happy she slept for those last moments of the shoot because I simply adore the outcome. The images are so precious. Below are some of my favorites.

I was so thrilled when Sara reached out to me to do her maternity pictures. I loved doing her family pictures last year. I think she is one of the sweetest most genuine people I've ever met and that was after only meeting her once. At last years session, I loved being extra silly to get her little man to smile. This time around, he was full of smiles and I seriously think he is so handsome! Such a kind easy going family and we had a blast at the Murrieta Wine Field {Rapheka Ranch}. Thanks Barba family. Congrats on your baby boy coming soon!

Kaden's cake smash with his parents was so fun. He also had a cheering squad. One of his Grandmas and Great Grandma's came to watch and act silly for smiles from their little man and it cracked me up. This family is seriously good looking and even though the cake smash part didn't last very long, the ones I caught I think are precious. Kaden YOU are so loved and your sweet personality is so charming. Below are some of my favorites.
