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.

Mom and her Boys | San Diego Family Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful family at Balboa Park.  Mom had warned me the day before that she hoped I was "ready" to photograph her boys.  I was a little nervous for what was in store, but it turns out her boys are not unlike any other boys.  Lively, fun, and completely honest.  It was nice having a look into the future at the different stages my own baby boy will go through.

I had a great time with you guys, Barb!  I hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

Lovely little lady | San Diego Child Photographer

Just a warning-- this might be the cutest little girl you've ever seen.  Look at those curls and big brown eyes!  Atiana is such a little angel!  Like most kids this age, she wanted to play and explore instead of have her picture taken.  That's always expected with toddlers.  But I sure had a great time living in her world at the park with mom and grandma.  Atiana tried to join another kid's birthday party at one point and loved the music mommy played for her from her cell phone.  The cutest part of our session together was when she attempted to clean the park by throwing leaves into the trash can-- one by one.  What a good girl!

I know mom and grandma were very excited for this sneak peek.  I hope you enjoy it!

Baby K | San Diego Newborn Photographer

I was so excited for baby K's session today because I felt like it was a long time in the making.  I met her family back in June for a family session when mom was 6 months pregnant, and then I photographed the baby shower in July.  And finally today I got to meet baby K in all her beauty :)  She is absolutely perfect in every way, but I don't think she was in the mood for pictures (really, what 4 week old is??).  We didn't get as many shots of her sleeping as I would have liked, but because she was wide-eyed most of the time, I did get to capture all the sweet moments of her sharing stared with mom, dad and big brother.  Her family is definitely smitten with this princess, and I think it's obvious in her photos.

Here are a couple of my favorites so far from today's session.

I hope you like them, Adriane!  She really is so sweet.  Congrats :)

One handsome little dude | Temecula Child Photographer

This little guy has been a year old for a few weeks now, but mom and dad brought him over today for his official One Year photos.  Isn't he a perfect doll?  Those eyes are going to get him out of trouble countless times in the future, I'm sure :)  He wasn't the biggest fan of my camera but the camera sure does love his baby blues!

Here's an abnormally large (I had a hard time choosing just a couple!) sneak peek of your handsome guy, Estella and Michael!  Enjoy!

Time for Cheerios!

Rough day at the office.

Isn't he just the cutest little GQ model?  :)

Oh boy! | Vista Newborn Photographer

I finally made it down to Vista to see Nicole and meet her brand new baby boy (almost brand new-- he's just about four weeks old now).  He didn't want anything to do with having his photo taken, but we managed to get some good shots anyhow.  So here he is, the newest member of the ever-growing Q familia!  Isn't he just the sweetest (and so long!)??

Congrats Nicole and Jay!
