Family Session: The Adriano’s
I enjoyed seeing the Adraino’s again to shoot their family Christmas photos. The last time I saw little Owen he was a tiny newborn and now he’s almost walking around! I also took Elizabeth’s maternity photos back in April and you can see the photos from that session here. One of the things I really enjoy about being photographer is being able to see a family grow year after year. Elizabeth and Michael are both teachers and keep busy with being involved in school activities. They wonderful people and I’m so happy for them and their new addition to the family.
Newborn Twins: Caylee & Carter
This shoot was my first newborn twin shoot and I was extremely excited for it. Patricia contacted me originally to take her maternity but as things tend to not go how we plan she ended up needing to wait until after the twins were born for pictures. These two precious babies truly are Christmas miracles! Caylee and Carter are a boy and girl, and Carter’s lungs are not healthy enough yet so you’ll see him with oxygen on in the pictures. I say he was being a good big brother and giving his sister more nutrients while still inside mommy. 
This family is beautiful and if you think of them say a prayer as Carter is still having some health struggles that they are learning more about and continuing to manage.
Family Session: The Neavitt’s
I met Julie through a friend sending her my way and shot her daughter Ayla for the first time at a pumpkin patch. You can see the Pumpkin Patch session here. Julie is a beautiful and very sweet woman and I love photographing her family. As usual Ayla looks adorable in her romper but we did have to keep Daddy (Jim) from sneaking orange candy to her in fear of having some orange slobber smiles.
This year when I started looking into Christmas orientated picture ideas I decided to go a little out of the box for myself and shoot indoors but still use all natural light to light my subjects. Christmas lights are one of my favorite parts about Christmas so when I saw this background ida on Pinterest I decided to give it a go. I love how the images turned out and you’ll be seing a super cute twin newborn session and another family session using this background as well. Thanks for reading!
Anytime Portraits: Nicole
Nicole is a sophomore this year and is such a beautiful little lady! Her mom had me come to their house to shoot her and her brother Jacob and you can see his photos here. While I was there they brought down some schnazy cars from the neighbors house for a few shots and then we headed out to the back of the property for more pictures with Nicole and her friends Anne and Logan. I love putting beautiful subjects in the middle of a rough and rustic area and these girls were perfect for this shoot. Enjoy the photographs! Oh and if you love boots like I do you, can find a pair like those pictured in the middle above from Steve Madden (my other crush).
Anytime Portraits: Jacob
A few weeks back I went to Jacob’s house to shoot he and his sister (which I’ll be posting soon). It’s been a while since they’ve had their pictures done so mom had be come out to do a session for each of them. Jacob is a little on the quieter side but he was super good at this taking pictures thing and I love how his session came out.
Engaged: Andrea + Michael
Last week I met up with Andrea in Michael in Valencia to take their engagement photos. One of the best things about this couple is that they like to have their goofy moments with each other. Well maybe it’s mostly Michael being a goof and making Andrea laugh at him, but still it makes for a fun time with them. I am excited for their wedding in May and I know it’s going to be a fun and beautiful day.
1 Year Old: Ayla
