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.

Friday, June 24th, 2011Santa Cruz Portrait Photographer: The Adams Family
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011Ah, 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, 2011Down 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!
Rockstar: Leon Jett
Monday, November 1st, 2010With a rock star name like LEON JETT, it’s no wonder he was came out with a mohawk! I know this little guy’s parents, Shaye and John through my hubby’s Australian Footy League. Come out and cheer on the Aussie boys sometime or bring your cleats and join the fun. You can find Shaye and I keeping the babies warm and the beer cold on the sidelines. It was a joy to meet little Leon, and see his family love on him. Shaye’s mum is out for a couple months to help with her first grandbaby, and John’s parents are coming out next. No shortage of love for this bub. Congratulations John and Shaye- He’s precious. adorable. and perfect.
One for the boys…
GO MAGPIES!!!

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010Newborn Portraits: Baby B
Thursday, September 9th, 2010Her little poka dot bow made me melt. So feminine.
Miss B was a gem and slept for a good 15 minutes while I poked and arranged her sweet little hands and feet at the start of our session. 
This little beauty was born to lovely Shera and Nate who had a maternity session with me a few weeks back. Remember this sess?
Well here is their new little one in her dad’s arms.
Double Trouble
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Twins, TWINS, TwInS are HERE!!!
Friday, July 9th, 2010Remember this mama’s belly from the a session on Memorial Day?
WELL, her twins had a plan… it was to arrive early and surprise us all!! They came at 34 weeks. A little early but they worked the preemie system at the NICU and broke out of there within two weeks. Gia being the strong willed girl led the way out of the NICU and Preston followed. It seems they’re little personalities are all ready present. I’m bursting with joy over their arrival! I JUST can’t believe this day has come. My best friend has two of her own!!! It feels like a dream, but it’s reality. I popped over for a visit and couldn’t resist taking a few of them on their first week home. I’m sure I’ll chronicle their lives on camera better than my own family. Their cute little faces keep popping in my head throughout the day ever since the first time I saw them. I rarely get all weepy when I edit photos, but I get all choked up to see my best friend, Jenee as a mother. Watching her kiss on them and care for them makes my heart swell. She was destined to be a mama and I know she’ll be marvelous! Here is mama with baby Gianna…
I think this one tops as my favorite. Looking at his daddy and the sizable difference between his premie little finger grabbing his daddy’s thumb. The topper is the wrinkled skin on his arm like a new little puppy. Did I mention the little guy weighs in at a whopping 4.11 and his sister was born at 5.11. Sigh.
Even spit bubbles are precious at this age.
Two weddings this weekend and still working through these cuties images. I’ll get some more up soon.
