I got the pleasure of photographing my adorable new nephew when he was just 5 days old. Sweet Nathaniel looks just like his little sister as a newborn. All that hair, and those cheeks... I could just eat him up! Big sister was already so good with him and such a helpful big sis. I can't believe it's already been 5 years since I got to rock her to sleep. I'm excited to watch them grow up as siblings.  They'll have so much fun together rooting for USC with mom and dad! Congrats Chad & Michelle, you make beautiful babies!!!

And just for fun, here's a comparison of Big Sister Catalina on the left with her new baby brother on the Right. Crazy how alike they look!

I absolutely love doing a newborn session for a returning maternity client.  It's great getting to know the couple at the maternity shoot, and then being back to see the little one on the outside is so magical.  I absolutely adored this couple and was so excited that they wanted a lifestyle session in their home.  Quinn is definitely adored and the way she gazes at her daddy makes my heart melt.  I think this family has a beautiful and loving future ahead of them!

Remember this beautiful mama who had her maternity portraits done last month... well her beautiful girl Grace has finally arrived!  At just 7 days old she was a precious tiny bundle.  I also got the pleasure of photographing her with her beautiful family and big brothers who were so proud of their new sister.  Grace was probably one of the most alert newborns I've ever photographed.  Such a sweetheart!

There is little I love more in my job than snuggling and photographing squishy little newborns.  Little Brooklyn is the adorable baby sister of Miss Riley who I photographed as a newborn and 1-Year old.  I absolutely love getting the chance to see how much these little cuties have changed, and Riley is just as adorable as when she was born.  She's so full of life and I just know she'll be a great big sister to Brooklyn.  Brooklyn is such a beautiful baby and was so easy going.  Her daddy is a big golfer and couldn't resist bringing in a little golf set to have her photographed with.  This entire family is beyond gorgeous and I can't wait to get a chance to do family portraits for them... hopefully one day soon!

It's so fun to compare siblings!  On the left is baby sister Brooklyn and the right is big sister Riley.

I always love it when I get to see clients back in the studio. I had the pleasure of doing a newborn session for Jedidiah back in November of 2009. He's now the proud big brother to this adorable little guy Simeon. It was fun to look back at their images side by side and see how different they are. Thanks so much Jami and Paul for choosing me again and letting me cuddle your newest little family member. He's such a sweetheart and I'm sure he and Jed will be so close as they grow up!

I snuck a few cute shots of daddy and big brother and am so glad I did. You can tell they have such a great bond!



And just for fun, here is a comparison between these two adorable brothers. Big brother Jed is on the left and Simeon is on the right.

This newborn session was extra special... because Catalina is my brand new adorable niece! She's so tiny and I just couldn't resist cuddling her for hours during her shoot. I'm so blessed to be an auntie again and I'm looking forward to watching this little cutie grow up. Congrats Chad & Michelle, love you guys and thanks for letting me spend the day with this little cutie!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with the adorable Mr Jedidiah. At 9 days old this little cutie was just wide awake and ready to take on the world. They were such an adorable family and he was such a good little guy that hardly made a peep. Thank you so much Jami and Paul for spending the day with me. It was such a pleasure to capture these moments for your family and I can't wait to show you the entire gallery. Enjoy your sneak peek!!!

One of my past maternity clients seen here was finally blessed with the arrival of their healthy little boy. This family is just so beautiful and their little guy was just too cute for words. He was a little chunker, but still totally flexible, bendy and sleepy which made my job oh so fun. It was such a pleasure working with you guys again, and I hope you enjoy the sneak peek. It was SOOOO hard to narrow down and I can't wait for you to see the full session, because I know you will love it!

Baby Blake was finally born to the beautiful Theresa & Jason from my last maternity session. He's such a cutie and although he made me work and didn't want to sleep... by the end of the session and with a little patience I finally won out and he was putty in my hands. It was a pleasure working with you again Theresa, and I hope you guys enjoy the sneak peek.

I just love this before and after. It's so amazing what the human body is capable of!
