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 Natalie- Valencia Newborn Portrait Photography

I got to meet baby Natalie when she was just shy of two weeks. She was an angel- slept pretty soundly and really never cried at all. She is modeling just one of several *adorable* bows that her aunt made her. Shelly doesn't have an online shop but here is her blog in case you'd like to contact her to get some bows for your own little ones!

Seriously, though, how cute is this baby?? Even smiling at her mommy. *Love!*

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!

Aaron's Slideshow- Newborn & Family Photography Valencia, CA

I just love putting together slideshows. There's just something about portraits set to music that makes me happy! Here is baby Aaron's slideshow. You can also see how big his sister has gotten. Such adorable kids!



One of my favorites:



Thanks again, Tierney. It was so good to see you!

Baby Aaron- Valencia Newborn Photography

This is my third session with Aaron's mom. The first two were for his big sister, whom you'll see more of next week after we complete their family session. I was so excited to meet this little guy, isn't he adorable?

Just chillin'.



Those lips!



Those fingers!



Love!

Baby Charlie's Slideshow- Valencia Newborn Photography

You remember Kristin's maternity portraits. Baby Charlie was due January 14th but decided to make a dramatic early arrival. Luckily everything turned out all right and now she is here and Mom and baby are doing well. I had planned on flying out this next weekend but was able to rearrange some plans to get there earlier. There's nothing like a brand-new baby when you want those cute bendy portraits. Baby Charlie was a complete angel and is such a pretty baby. Here's her slideshow:



A couple of my favorites:





Thank you Kristin, it was such a pleasure to photograph you and Charlie.

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.

Love this new slideshow software I got! --> Hunter.

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!!

New Birth Announcements

I added some new birth announcements to my collection today. I am so excited about these. They are very clean and simple. A bit vintage. Totally cute.
A couple of them:

Baby Girl

It was so nice to meet this family. They have been through a lot lately but have a good attitude and I feel so blessed to have met them. Meet baby *A*.

This blanket was her dad's when he was a baby!

If I Could Only Photograph Newborns For The Rest Of My Life...

I'd be happy. Isn't she adorable?? She was so mellow. And so poopy. :)






Congrats guys!
