I had the pleasure of documenting an amazing milestone for our dear friends a few months ago while we were visiting Georgia. These portraits were taken about a month before she was due and isn't she just glowing?! Baby Hudson is already a few months old now, so I thought it was finally time to share a few of my favorites from our time together. I'm so thankful to have met your family years ago through my husband and we are so grateful to have you all in our lives. We can't wait to actually meet Hudson next time we are in town!
Featured in The Bump Magazine | Los Angeles Maternity and Newborn Photographer
I'm thrilled to share that my work has been featured in Los Angeles edition of The Bump magazine! It is such an honor to be included and so exciting to see images of the lovely families I've worked with printed in a magazine. The Bump is a wonderful resource for moms-to-be as well as new moms. Not only do they create a delightful, quarterly magazine but they also have a fabulous online presence with lots of helpful ideas, articles, and resources. If you are pregnant or a new mom, I highly recommend that you check out their website for your local area. The Bump Los Angeles can be found HERE on their website. 
I am so grateful for the families that have trusted and supported me along the way in my photography journey. I want to specifically thank the four families that gave their encouragement and permission to share these images in The Bump magazine. I love each one of these portrait sessions and I feel like these images truly show the style and heart of my photography. 
Baby's First Year | Los Angeles Baby Photographer
I consider photographing newborn babies and their families a privilege. They are only tiny and new for such a short window of time and I take the responsibility of capturing those first days very seriously. As you can imagine, parents don't get to retake the photos if they don't turn out the way they had dreamed. I also enjoy documenting the new connections between the parents and newborn as they are just getting to know one another. What I love even more is getting to document a family as their babies grow. I love seeing their unique personalities begin to emerge. I love getting to document the important milestones of first gummy smiles, rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and first steps. I love watching the parents' thrilled responses to all of their baby's milestones during the first year.
This past year I had the pleasure of documenting Miss O's first year. She has a very special place in my heart since she is my niece. I have shared a few of these photos already, but I wanted to share some more images from each of her portrait sessions during her first 12 months. Thank you, M and S, for inviting me to capture some milestones from her first year. Can't wait to see your little beauty continue to grow and blossom.
Introducing the Newest Addition | Santa Monica Newborn and Child Photographer
Photographing precious Miss A was delightful! I truly enjoyed visiting with her mama and grandparents during her portrait session. Once Miss A is a little bit older she is going to have so much fun running around after her big brother. Seventeen months is such a busy, curious age - so I was especially pleased that we were able to grab some fun shots of her big brother. Thank you, D Family, for warmly welcoming me into your lives and for the honor of documenting Miss A's first days at home. It's clear that she is already so loved and adored!
I am thrilled with the resulting images from our time together, but I especially love the eye contact in the image below. It's a rarity to get such great eye contact from a newborn baby. Love it!
Welcome Precious Baby | Los Angeles Newborn Photographer
I had a wonderful time visiting with this sweet family again. I first met them during their maternity portrait session and we hit it off right away. I was so excited to meet the newest member of their family: handsome baby C! Just like my little guy, his arrival was a bit late but definitely worth the wait. He is so adorable and perfect! Since the kitties were very curious about what we were up to, I loved getting to include them in a few shots. C and A, your love for your baby boy is already clearly so strong and I am sure that you will be incredible parents. What a lucky little guy he is to have you both! Thank you for welcoming me into your lives and for the privilege of documenting this incredible journey you are on together. Wishing you all the best as you enjoy snuggling your sweet baby!
