Talula | Four Months Old

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

Isn’t Talula the cutest name ever??!  I’ve never heard of it, but am in love.  Especially after meeting her.  How could anyone resist all those rolls?

Talula’s mommy was my daughter’s teacher two years ago.  So I’m so happy to help her out with some photos since she helped my Bella out with learning reading, writing, and arithmetic.  Bella got to come with me on this shoot and was in HEAVEN.  She occasionally will come on a family shoot to get the little ones laughing and looking, but this time was extra special since it was her teacher.  We started at their house then popped down to east cliff to wrap at the beach where we saw, who else?  Mr. Curley.  He is the school principle at Westlake.  He said, “Hello, teacher Megan” before giving Bella a hug and heading out for a surf.  Small town feel here in Santa Cruz, yet so diverse.  Love it.

Check Lula’s beautiful coloring with her light blue eyes and fair skin.  So pretty Lula!

Ohhhh chunky monkey- look at those arm rolls.  No wonder your mama is not back at work yet!

I love how she grabbed her mama’s hair.

Enjoy your new little one Miss Megan!

Baby Jolie | Newborn Session

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

This little one made a surprise arrival at home.  Read about it here in the Mercury News.  I love the little sleepy smiles newborns flash.  So Sweet.

Four months and counting… Family Portraits

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

This sweet little guy is my cousin’s first baby, Kyle.  It’s so fun to watch friends and family enter motherhood.  Kym has carried her grace right into motherhood.  Kyle is so sweet and happy.  The entire shoot he didn’t make a peep, he just admired the great outdoors and flashed an occasional smile.  Here are a few of my favorites!

Welcome June

Here is the blessed new little June, who arrived in… you guessed it, June.  So sweet.

Bay Area Family Portraits: One Years Old Allison

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Allison is one.  Yeah!!  So fun.  Out for her fourth photo shoot this year, she’s really getting the hang of it.  Not to mention she’s learning to walk now and ready to explore the world.  Her adoring parents love on her every second of the shoot so who wouldn’t be a happy smiling bub!

Check out her boots!

Is this kid for real?

Los Altos Family Portrait Photography: Redwood Grove

Friday, April 29th, 2011

He’s ONE!  This cute little guy is having a WHALE of a party this weekend to celebrate his first birthday!  He was sporting his new kicks that had whales on them while showing off his new milestone: walking.  Ready, Steady, GO!

Santa Cruz Portrait Photographer: The Adams Family

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

Ah, this sweet family just welcomed their fourth little bundle of love into their house a couple months ago.

Erin was so into the session, she scouted out the location ahead of time, coordinated outfit, brought some chairs, quilts, and a wagon along for the shoot in addition to her four children and all that goes with that.  Champion.

Behind the scenes…

Take one across the top is when they first sat down.  Bored silly.  Wondering why I asked them to sit in a chair when there is this whole new world to explore.  Including rabbits!

Take two is when I pull out the tickle bug or start playing ’simon says’ with them.  So cute.  Total giggle bugs.

Here is another I got while getting  my settings.  Mama nursing, dad standing around, kids wandering around, and Tina working hard to move things around for me.  THANK TINA!

I usually don’t post such unscripted scenes, but this pretty much sums up the randomness of what goes on at a shoot.  It’s a little glimpse into Erin’s world too.  You can read more on her blessed life on her blog, Everyday Carnival.

Santa Cruz Portrait Photographer: Baby Grace

Sunday, April 10th, 2011

Down a quiet shady street lives Lauren and her sweet family.  Her precious little Luke  got to hold his new baby sister for the first time the day I was there.  So special.  Meet baby Grace and her older brother Luke.

My talent friend, Tina came along to help out and took this beautiful shot of the baby with all her soft skin and extra wrinkles fast asleep.  She shot from the other side of me, into the light and I love the way the light falls across the baby.  Beautiful one TINA!

Bumble Bee Ballerina

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

This precious little bumble bee ballerina worked many looks for her nine month old shoot.  Her mama has been great about schedule a shoot every few months.  So much so, Shutterfly asked to use her website she’s made for her little girl as advertisement.  Good stuff Leah!

Allison had quit the help behind the scenes.  Not only was her mom and dad there, but also grandma and papa, as well as my daughter.  My daughter, Bella is eight years old and in love with kids.  I brought her once to a shoot to help get the many children to laugh and haven’t turned back!  She does such a great job getting them to giggle and smile, that I don’t know why I didn’t bring along sooner.  By the end of the shoot, Allison was crashed on Bella as she carried her home from the park.  SO cute.

A little laundry.

Off to the local park… Allison hangs on tight to dad’s ears!

Three generations.

Carly and her husband were so much fun to watch make this little guy smile.  Carly busted out the Christmas decorations a bit early for their photo session and they looked great.
