Day 2 | Project 365 | Alicia Q. Photography

The holidays are over sooner than they arrived.  Here's our itty-bitty tree that will serve as a prop for Christmas mini-sessions 2011.  I sure will miss all the holiday light bokeh until then.

Family Photo Fun | Temecula Family Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

Just before Christmas I had a session with an extended family of 14-- my biggest group yet!  Unfortunately Southern California was being pounded with 6 days of non-stop rain.  We moved the photos indoors, but luckily this family had a beautiful Victorian parlor.  I felt like I was thrown back in time!  The furniture and decor was just lovely.

Here are a couple shots of some of the pretty-- and handsome!-- faces I had the pleasure of photographing that day.

Enjoy!

My Family | Temecula Family Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

The blog is looking a little neglected, so I thought I'd share a few Christmas photos of my family.  The littlest boy is my son and the others are my brother's beautiful children.  I know I'm biased, but these are the cutest kids on earth!  Don't you agree?  :)

Happy Holidays from my family to yours.

xoxo,
Alicia Q.

Brothers | Temecula Child Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

Time to share another holiday mini-session!

How handsome are these brothers?  Don't they look just like Precious Moments dolls with those perfect little noses and big round eyes?  Too bad G and A didn't have the same angelic impression of me.  They told me I was scary!  Oh no!  LOL.  I'll just imagine they were afraid of the camera and not my face.  Haha.

And now something far less frightening than the crazy camera lady-- sneak peek!

Little Women | Temecula Family Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

I truly have some of the cutest clients EVER.  When I saw this family get out of the car wearing purple, I was so excited (jewel tones photograph beautifully).  But when I saw these three little ladies skipping towards me, my heart just melted.  They are perfection!  And how amazig are their eyes?

Grandma was visiting from out of state and I think the girls were more interested in hugging and loving their "sovta" (Hebrew for grandmother) than they were taking photos.  But you would have never guessed it!  They had no problem pausing and striking a pose whenever I requested their attention :)

This family was an absolute joy and I'd love to photograph these precious little girls again and again.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

The Countdown to Santa Begins! | Temecula Child Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

Here's a little sneak peek of a precious little girl who just cannot wait for Christmas.  She was deathly afraid of having her photo taken at the beginning of the session, but when she realized there were "presents" to open, she was more than willing to smile and ham it up for the camera.  Mom and I had to sneak some leftover Halloween candy into the empty boxes as the bows and lids went flying!  Our stealthy tactics were a success!

Enjoy this preview!

See, I told you she's ready for Santa!  By the way, only 45 days to go!

Classy Ladies | Temecula Family Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

Hey, two blog posts in one day-- awesome!  Almost caught up...

I never get tired of photographing these pretty little girls.  Mom is a best friend of mine and her daughters are pretty comfortable with my following them around with a camera.  I think this was our best session to date!  No resistance!

Aren't they just so classy with the pea coat, blazer and pearls?  Love it!

Here's a peek at their gallery.  Enjoy!

p.s. I still have a few holiday mini-sessions available for this week.  Contact me ASAP to schedule!

Jack is One! | Temecula Child Photographer

I just love one year olds!  My son just had his first birthday and I love seeing the similiarities in personality.  This baby boy is only a few weeks older than my son and it was great to see that both of them have an affinity for attempting head stands and spinning in circles on their butts.  Too cute!

Jack didn't want to smile a whole lot for me, and he gave mom a work out as she tried to keep him in front of the camera.  What can I say-- he's a boy and has a ton of energy like the rest of them :)

Here are a few shots we got in-studio last week.  It was still wet outside from recent rain so we'll head outdoors in a couple of days to finish up this session.

I'm totally in love with the Batman costume.  Jack's dad had one when he was a little boy, too!

This one just cracks me up.  He's looking at mom and thinking, "Tell this crazy lady to stop singing and making weird noises!"  He's such a doll.

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?  :)
