Baby Reed- Valencia, CA Newborn Photography

Meet baby Reed. His mother is one of my best friends and it was such a pleasure to photograph them together. There is something so special that happens to a family when a new baby joins it, it's fun to be able to witness it firsthand. Thank you Dominique!

Baby Beckett- Utah Newborn Photography

My trip to Utah coincided perfectly with the birth of one of my dearest friend's son. Chelsea and I have been friends for longer than I can remember. We attended church together, and then ended up graduating from the same high school. We played, giggled (silently), cried (we have completely different crying styles) and grew up together. Chelsea always set a good example for me. She was (is) fun, pretty, popular and kind.

Just for fun, here's one from a girls' trip some of us took last June. It was to celebrate turning (shhhh) 30, but we've decided to make it an annual thing.










I can't express how surreal it was for me to edit these portraits. I have memories of Chelsea from when we were our kids' ages, and now here we are, doing the best we can to raise our own.



Chelsea, I am so glad to be able to still call you my friend after all of these years. Here's to many more. Love you!

Baby Reese- Valencia Newborn Photography

I don't know how these moms all manage to look so beautiful. But however they do it I feel so grateful to be able to photograph them and their sweet babies! Meet baby Reese and her wonderful mother. Both gorgeous and both such sweeties!

Baby Reese's headband is by Mari of Mari Elizabeth Couture. It was SO stinkin' cute. I made momma stay even though Reese was a little fussy just so we could get a couple of her in it. LOVED it!

Newborn Baby M

Sweet, sweet baby. Oh, how I love newborns.

Radiant! Isn't she beautiful?

All Babies Are Beautiful

Does anyone even check this bog anymore?? I have got to be better about posting.

Anyway, as I said, all babies are beautiful, this one just happens to be exceptionally so. Looking at her mother it's easy to see why.

Newborn Baby B

This little cutie was the most alert newborn I have ever worked with! She was so sweet. Barely made a peep though she was awake almost all of the session.

Baby *B*

This little guy was born over four weeks early and still weighed in at almost 6 and a half pounds!! After a long week in the NICU he is home and doing well. Such a sweet little guy. Slept almost the whole time. ;)







See his slideshow here.

Beautiful Newborn

Baby *H* really is one of the cutest babies I have seen. And his parents aren't bad either! ;) You might remember Mommy from this post.






Congrats again!!
