Newborn Baby "E" - 8 days new - Newborn Photographer

I couldn't be more excited than I am right now to meet this little man.  His mommy has been a close friend to me and was married last year to the sweetest man.  He hasn't let mommy change a diaper yet.  Now that's some love!  But really little "E" is so blessed to be with these two.   Two of the kindest, most patient people ever.  I can say that since I know them outside of work.  Congratulations and many wishes for you and your new family!  

Happy Birthday Little girl "L" - Family Photographer

Oh, boy what a fun time I had with this family.  Little "L's" mom, had all the cute little outfits and finishing touches for these kiddos.  Even though this was a shoot to celebrate her daughters 2nd birthday, we had a lot of fun taking pictures of all the kiddos.  I normally only put up 3-5 teasers, but I couldn't help my self.  These and so many more were so stinking cute!  I really am finding that I love to capture the moments that are going on during the shoot.  I find that we don't have to have that perfect smile to show the love and happiness of children.  There is a sweetness and gentleness to these little ones that just shined through as I took their pictures.  Okay maybe not on the second to last one, because you better not mess with their sis or else!   So cute.  It was such a pleasure to take this families pictures.  I had so much fun!  I can't wait to continue to watch them grow and captures their special moments for them.  

Newborn baby Girl - 10 day's new - Newborn Photographer

Babies, Babies, and more Babies.  But I love it!  And finally a little girl.  Yippie, lace and frills oh my. I just can't get over how cute this little baby "C" was.  At 10 days new she was such a sweet thing.  I had such a great time with all the little things her mommy brought and incorporated many of my props as well.  I just love this pink and navy blue, SO CUTE!  I am so grateful that my last newborn session referred her to me, I love meeting new families and being able to capture moments like these.  Her family was so sweet, thank you for coming up and visiting me.

Camargo-Cox Wedding 2013 - Central Valley Wedding Photographer

What a pleasure it was to get to know this couple.  They were both so sweet and fun.  And their families were so welcoming and sweet too.  I truly had a wonderful time taking their pictures of their celebration of their wedding.  They had wed the day before at the San Francisco Courthouse.  They both wanted to have a small ceremony and celebrate with family and friends the next day.  I unfortunately was not their photographer in San Francisco, but I was thrilled that I could take part during their reception.  I love being able to capture the moments that they will remember for their lifetime together.  I have to say though, my favorite one is when the bride and her new little man snuck off before dinner to get a cupcake.  Totally busted, but they had so much fun doing it!  Thank you to both the Camargo and Cox families for having me take part is such a fun and wonderful day!

Newborn Baby Boy "J" - 12 days old - Newborn Photographer

I am amazed how many babies I've been seeing this month.  This little ones mommy is like a sister to me, so taking pictures of baby "J" was truly such a joy for me.  I loved all the little yawny faces he made and how so cuddly he was.  Luckily, I get to have more fills of this one.  Congratulations Mommy and Daddy on your new addition.  Finally a BOY!  

Newborn Baby "C" - 3 weeks new - Newborn Photographer

It must be boy season right now, this is the third little boy that I've seen within the last week.  And what a joy he was.  I can't begin to tell you about the instant connection I had with him mommy. She is a friend of another newborn mommy that I visited this month and she just had to have some taken of her adorable little boy as well.  Even though he was a little older than what I typically like to do for newborn sessions, he did great!  I loved that he was alert for many pictures looking right into the camera, yet gave us a little nap to take those adorable sleepy pictures.  Thank you sweet baby "C" for visiting me and bringing your sweet mommy to meet me!  

(PS - I hope these uploaded okay, I'm trying out my new laptop for some editing and journaling. 

 I really hope I calibrated my monitor correctly.  If not I'll be reposting these soon!)
