Sweetest of Gifts | Orange County, CA Newborn Photographer

The last days of a pregnancy can be such a crazy, anxiety filled couple of days.  When there is a due date floating around, but no clear "date" in sight, you feel so out of control; yet, there is this peace.  It's kind of a calm before the storm.

This precious, little guy kept everyone on their toes by hanging in there and staying put well past his actual due date!  It seems to fit his personality- he was a mellow, go with the flow kind of baby.  So sweet and so perfect- a little Christmas dream baby!

He wasn't much interested in sleeping, but he was such a prince while he was awake, that it wasn't a problem in the least.

 See what I mean by mellow?  We had to laugh at the "whatever" expression on his face!

Thank you, S&G for letting me be a part of your baby boy #2's early days!

Holiday Sessions- It's Time! | Orange County, California Family Portrait Photography

Phew!  It feels like it has been forever since I worked on the blog, sent newsletters and generally did much photography work at all... mainly because my full time job as a mommy of three has been so very busy!  I've been enjoying my time off very much and loving every minute (well, mostly every minute) with my sweet three.

While it's only the end of July, it is time to start thinking about holiday portrait season!  I decided this year to manage my time a little better than last year to avoid burn out and be able to enjoy the season with my family.  For those reasons, I will only be taking holiday portraits in mini-session format this year.  There are three dates available for mini-sessions in three different locations; hopefully this will help to make it accessible for everyone!

Each location will have a unique "stylized" theme, which I am super excited about!  Sessions will last 30-minutes and may include up to 5 people.  Your mini session will include:

* 30 minutes of shooting

* 8-10 edited images in your gallery

* 5 hi-resolution digital images on disk with print release

* an 8x10 mounted photo calendar

* ...and a really cute surprise gift!
