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.
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).
1 Year Old Portraits: Abigail
This little girl was having a very serious day for her one year old session but her cuteness makes up for the lack of smiles. This was my first time using a canvas back drop and I love this tri-split that I bought from Bad Sass Backdrops. Abigail’s mom kept her occupied with ice pops before she busted out the Baskin Robbins ice cream cake. Right about then things got messy fast. Abigail’s Dad is overseas serving our county at the moment and I am super excited to very soon be capturing the homecoming of Daddy and I know Mommy and Abigail can’t wait to see him. It will be such a precious moment!
Family Portraits: The Beeson’s
1 Year Old Portraits: Ryleigh
I’ve been able to photograph this little cutie throughout her first year. You can see her other sessions by clicking these links 9 Months , 6 Months , First Portraits. As a photographer it’s so cool to be able to capture these milestones of a new life and I just love seeing little ones grow. Nadia Cakes made her cake for this session and I got the frame with a chalk board insert from The Organic Bloom (I’m in love with Organic Bloom frames). Enjoy the photos!
San Juan Capistrano Serra Plaza: Yianni & Vanessa
I attended my first SoCal Photog Shootout last month and had the best time! I was able to learn from great photographers, work with lovely models and photograph some amazing details. This event was by far one of the funnest things I’ve done to grow as a photographer and meet other photographers. Attending events like this one deepen my passion to do what I love and always teach me something new.
All the vendors, leaders, stylists and hair & makeup designers did a beautiful job at creating an awesome shootout. Thanks to each of you!
This post is just Part 1 of several. I’ll be posting more photographs over the next couple weeks. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the photographs!
