I'm pleased to introduce adorable Baby M! Not only was he 14 days of pure sweetness, but he was so bright-eyed and alert at the beginning of our session. We got some really great images of him awake gazing at his mama and daddy. By the end of our time together we were able to capture some beautiful sleepy images that I just love! Thank you, K and J, for inviting me to document this amazing, fleeting, magical, sleep-deprived, lovely time in your lives. It was such an honor and I truly enjoyed our time together.
Happy Birthday Little Beauty | Orange County Baby Photographer
It's a joy to photograph a family as they grow! Last year I documented this wonderful couple's pregnancy with a gorgeous maternity session. Then I got to capture the arrival of their sweetie, Miss L, with a very special newborn session. Documenting her first birthday was so fun! Her mama brought so many great outfits and props! This session made me feel so sentimental to return to the same location exactly one year later and witness how much has changed. It really demonstrated that the passage of time in a baby's life is so fleeting, they change so quickly, and how we grow to love them more with every passing day. I was honored to photograph Miss L's first year - and look forward to documenting her family throughout the years to come. After her practice with cake tasting during this photo session, I think she will be ready to dig into her cake at her first birthday party which is coming up soon!

Custom Designed Heirloom Portrait Albums | Los Angeles Photographer
Heirloom portrait albums are my favorite way to showcase and archive images from the portrait sessions that I photograph. Though all clients do order digital images, most also choose to showcase their photographs in an heirloom album. These albums are truly the best way to archive the milestone that was documented by the portrait session. Years from now, when your children are grown, they probably will not load the disc of digital images into the computer and gather together to look through their baby photos. However, I can definitely envision them taking this gorgeous leather album off the bookshelf and turning the pages to enjoy the images and hearing stories about when they were young. Each album is custom designed to display all 30 of the images from the session in a simple, yet artistic way with clean lines and large images. No two portrait sessions are alike, so each album design is unique. The pages are archival photographic prints, hand mounted into the leather album. The pages are firm, so they won't get bend and get damaged, but they also are designed to lay flat across the entire two page spread. The cover is made of luxurious, soft, black leather with beautiful texture. Each album includes all 30 images displayed throughout 20 pages or 10 two-page design spreads. They are available in an 8x8 inch format or 10x10 inch format. These hand-crafted, custom-designed albums are one-of-a-kind and truly a family heirloom to cherish and pass down to the next generation as a part of your family history.
The images below are from a recent newborn portrait session, but images from any portrait session can be displayed in these heirloom albums. Some clients have even featured select images from both their maternity session and newborn session in one album. I plan to create an album for my son each year to document his childhood. Consider how you plan to document your baby or child, so you can remember how precious they are at each stage as they grow.
Happy New Year!
Things have been rather quiet on the blog over the past month while I was enjoying lots of quality time with my family during the holidays. I have several exciting updates to share about Erin Sullivan Photography, but before I do, I wanted to post a few personal images from the end of the year. This Christmas was so much fun since my little one was so engaged with the magic of the holiday and he thoroughly enjoyed the train set Santa brought him. Though he's rarely still, unless he's sleeping, 20 months is such a fun, curious, interactive age!
We took some playful photos of him the day after Christmas. He was so busy and fast-paced during this portrait session that a large number of the images are of the back of his head while he's running away. But we did manage to capture some adorable ones showcasing his many expressive faces - I just love the ones below!
In my next post I will be sharing some exciting updates about Erin Sullivan Photography, so be sure to check back later this week!
