Baby A's Christening | San Diego Baby Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the Christening of a beautiful little boy.  Baby "A" was surrounded by family and friends and the love enveloping him was amazing.  I have to admit I had to hold back the tears more than a few times.  I'm such a sucker for celebrations like this.  I'm so happy I could be there to capture these moments for this loving and truly inspiring family.

I can't wait to see what this little man's future has in store for him :)

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.

Birthday Session Sale! | Temecula Child Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

We're having a sale!  For the month of February only, book a birthday portrait session at a super discount!  I love how excited kids get about their birthdays and now parents can add to the celebration with photos to mark the occassion.

These sessions must take place in February and can be done at my in-home studio in Menifee, your home (within 30 miles of 92584), or an outdoor location of choice.  You can bring as many outfits as you'd like, but do keep in mind these sessions will last between 1 and 2 hours total.  Your session will include either a 16x24 print mounted on thick matboard, or a set of 25 custom birthday announcements.  Additionally, you can take 50% off digital packages and 25% off prints 16x24 and smaller.

Call me or email me to schedule your session today.  As always, space is limited and weekends fill up quickly!

xoxo,
Alicia Q.

Day 5 | Project 365 | Alicia Q. Photography

Today I let Atticus have at it with a bowl of Multi Grain Cheerios.  I love these photos, although he wouldn't look at me very often, and when he did, he gave me his "Really?  More pictures, mom?" look.  Poor kid.  I torture him with this camera.  But that's why I let him get "messy" today and have fun with our little photo shoot.

Oh.  And if you're wondering about the soy milk-- Atticus has a milk allergy and has been on soy since about 8 weeks old.  He loves the stuff :)

1/5/2011 - sharing more than just one photo today, I hope no one minds!

And my absolute FAVORITE from the day:

Day 3 | Project 365 | Alicia Q. Photography

Three days and I haven't given up yet!  Amazing.

1/3/2011 - I can't say no to this face.

8 day old princess | Temecula Newborn Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

Meet 8 day old Rylee.  I couldn't have asked for a sweeter, cuter little girl to photograph.  She slept for the first half of the session and then decided she'd rather be wide awake.  Either way, she was a complete doll.  Mom and Dad are definitely smitten with her.  And how could you not?  Isn't she beautiful!

Congrats, Dave and Cheryl!

Almost ready to pop! | San Diego, CA Baby Shower Photographer

Last weekend I had the honor of photographing Adriane's baby shower in Santee.  There were lots of guests, gifts, and yummy food.  I loved that all the elements of the party were coordinated-- from the white and purple cake and cupcakes, to the streamers and plates-- and even Adriane's dress!  She did a great job with the party.  And even though I know she had planned to throw a "non-baby shower", it turned out to be a pretty cute traditional shower with fun games and girly decorations.  I especially loved that her son wasn't left out of all the fun.  He had his own baseball shaped cake and received a big brother gift from mom and dad.

Congrats, Adriane and family!  I can't wait for your baby girl's newborn session in September :)

Here are a few shots from the party.

Sweet treats!

"Adriane is about to POP!  So thanks for coming and enjoy a POP, too!"

Guests had a fun time trying to guess the baby's name by using the letters on the board.

No one guessed correctly!

Happy Birthday, little G! | Temecula, CA Child Photographer

One of my very best friends is celebrating her youngest daughter's first birthday this weekend, so yesterday we met at my go-to location for a quick photo shoot.  The plan is to hang some of these pictures at Saturday's party.  Baby G's big sister and cousins joined in for some photos for grandma and grandpa, too.

Here are a few that I think are just so sweet!
