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.

Studio Mini-Sessions | Temecula Photographer

In an effort to expand my studio portfolio, I'm offering a special for mini-sessions next week!  This is really exciting because I'm growing to LOVE studio lighting and all the versatility of shooting indoors (especially with this early fall heat we're battling in Southern California!).

These mini-sessions are open to families, children, maternity, cake smashes, fall themes, Halloween costumes, etc.  I will customize the shoot to relfect your style and personality.  The possibilities are endless!  Let's share ideas and have some fun!

Call or email today to schedule your session!  We are located in Winchester, CA, just 5 miles east of the 15 freeway.

Take a look at this and check out the rest of the blog for examples of recent studio sessions.  Thanks!

UPDATE:  I forgot to mention that additional prints will be discounted 50% when you schedule one of these sessions.

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?  :)

Almost One! | Winchester Baby Photographer

Ahh, bitter sweet is the taste!  My baby boy is almost a year old!  Next month we will celebrate my son's first birthday and while excited, I'm in disbelief of how fast time is flying by.  It seems like only yesterday I watched Atticus' daddy give him his first bath (I was much too nervous to do it myself!).  And here he is now, growing up into a little man.  I realized the other day that I haven't been capturing some of the simplest of experiences like bathtime.  I made sure to snap some shots while he played in the tub and I'm so glad I did.

Look at this sweetheart!  So long as he keeps growing up, he's going to break my heart everyday for the rest of my life!

Adventures in New England | Temecula Photographer

Over Labor Day weekend I ventured off to Boston for a baby shower.  Sure, that's a long way to travel for a party, but the trip's purpose was to see a dear friend who moved away more than two years ago.  Since then he's gotten married to a beautiful woman and they are now expecting a baby boy in December.  I am so happy for William and Liz.  They are going to be amazing parents and I can't wait to meet their perfect little boy!

During my little vacation I took advantage of some alone time to explore the sights and sounds of Boston and the surrounding areas.

Here is a VERY SMALL and LIMITED selection of some photos I took during my adventures.  There are more to come and I'll post once I find some more time.

Enjoy!

White Trash Glam | Menifee, CA Photographer

Seana and I had been planning this photo shoot for quite some time and finally got our schedules in line this past weekend.  I am so glad we got together because this session was a BLAST!  Seana is such a good sport and can we say HOT?!  Even with the theme "White Trash Glam" she managed to still look smokin'.  She has a perfect runway body and AMAZING cheekbones.  America's Next Top Model, perhaps?  :)

The location for this shoot is where Seana boards two of her horses.  We worked them into a few shots and you can really see how much she loves those guys.

Enjoy this sneak peek!  There are so many other good shots I still have to edit...

p.s. If anyone is interested in a shoot like this, please let me know.  I would LOVE LOVE to do this again!
