This gorgeous family was the winner of my cutest kids contest!! When they got out of the car I was super excited because they were dressed SO cute! Mom is a hairdresser, so of course they had their hair perfectly done as well! =) We met up at a little park nearby, and after a short hike the girls kicked off their boots and started exploring the creek. Baby M was a bit hesitant at first, but then climbed right down with her sisters. I was surprised to find out that I was taking their first family photo since Baby M had been born! I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek, and your entire gallery should be up soon!

Editing a few more sessions, including one of my own, so stay tuned because I have a lot more coming!

As soon as I saw this sweet family I knew we were going to have fun! The session started off slow, little J wasn’t too excited about having me follow him with a camera, but after he found out he could play soccer while I was shooting made him relax a bit. Baby G was definitely the calmest sweetest baby I have ever met, the kind that make my job super easy! They were definitely an athletic family, and while Baby G was holding and playing with a football, little J amazed me by running and kicking the soccer ball on the field better than any toddler Ive seen!

Hope you guys enjoy the sneak peek, your full gallery will be up by the end of the night! =)

Although this was a quick session, (we almost cancelled due to the weather),  it was definitely a fun one! Little A is really one of the smartest kids I have ever met, asking questions and learning the answers almost the entire time. She was very fast, so we started quietly searching for bunnies around the area =) . We were so excited to find one lone fall tree to get some fall type photos, and she loved collecting leaves and throwing them in the air.  I was excited to find a pepper tree as well, since they are some of my favorites to photograph in. Our time flew by quickly, and we knew the park closed at 5, but were a few minutes late getting out. When we walked to the gate, we saw that it was padlocked shut! Thankfully there was a foot of space to squeeze little A under the gate, but the three of us had to climb the fence! At least now I know to make sure and leave early! =)

Thanks for such a great session guys, and I can’t wait to shoot our next one!

P.S.  Thank you Sarah for these little hearts….I love them!

Danielle is a good friend from work, she teaches in the classroom next to me! When she talked to me about doing a session, I was so excited! She is due any day now with her first baby, a little girl they are going to name MacKenzie. We met up at the Ventura pier, and when I looked up from changing lenses and saw them dancing together, I knew we were going to have a fun time! Everything went perfect, and I am so looking forward to taking pictures of sweet little MacKenzie!

Here is my photo for the I Heart Faces Challenge! My birthday was on Saturday, and had our weekend planned to go Oak Glen apple orchards. I was checking my email on the way up and saw that this weeks challenge for I heart faces was orchard! I have hundreds of photos with great backgrounds and such, but this photo of Maya just makes my heart melt! So here is my entry….Hope you like it!
