Jonah!

Congratulations to Mark & Claudia on the arrival of their first son Jonah!

It's always so much fun to do something different, I've just begun editing images and this was the first I've finished, it includes an 'artist finish' which is quite different then the original image.  Jonah already has dad doing anything for him, including becoming in a pillow.  Everyone needs a 13day old baby boy on their back literally, it's so cute!!

Other images will show it more clearly however the feathers coordinate with dad's tattoos.

 

Welcome William

Erick and Deanna along with big brother Erik have a weclome addition to their family .. William!

I can't believe how much little Erick had grown, he's so big now.

It was a real treat to make sure we had images of William at 12 days, as I'd taken images of Erick at 12days old too!!  They boys look very much alike.

I don't believe I've ever shared a sample of the canvas gallery wraps on here, however since these are a favorite of the family I thought it was time.

Peyton & Parents!

I was so amazed to hear from Diane, the last time we'd seen each other was when I was taking images of her horse over at the stables in San Dimas.  I miss seeing all the horses along with their loving owners.  The babies keep my really busy, and gosh they are so much smaller, the airconditioning for shooting in the studio is really nice too! hahaa

Here are a couple of little Miss Peyton, one each of her with Mom & Dad.

She is adorable!!

Keira All Girl!

Keira arrived very early however she's doing fabulous!!

Congratulations to some very proud parents, who are enjoying her so very much.

Here's just a few of Keira, who has a lot of images, she was such a little angel slept the entire time.  This little one didn't mind one bit, so for the first time we tried the over the top girly pettiecoat on her and woohoo she's ALL GIRL if you can find the baby in there hehee! (and it's a little petticoat the tiny one!)

Catching up!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a fabulous 4th of July Holiday, and are staying as cool as possible with the heat we are having.

I opted to stay home with my dogs, and spent the holiday with family and friends, in and out of the pool staying cool!

I know I've been neglecting the blog, shame on me!  While we have had several babies I'll try to play catch up a bit this week and share just a few!!

Conner is Here!

Congratulations to new parents Chris & Brandy!

We were a bit nervous at a almost a month old that Conner would sleep for some of his images.  No worries though he did it all, including dads helmet, boots, anything we wanted he was up to the challenge!

Say Hello to Gavin!!

Congratulations to Ernie, Heidi, Madison and Kennedy!

Little Gavin was 9 days old here, he's got two big sisters to help him with any questions he may have growing up.

I loved the images of this little guy with his dad, it was a "GUYS" day!

What a great baby, the girls were so well behaved, Dad was willing to let me just create with his tattoos as an element (I love the artistic work of them) and then mom, well the world wouldn't be anything without their endless love and energy to keep everything together!  Heidi you get some rest, I have no clue how you do it all!   It was a wonderful session thank you so much for coming in!

 

 

Welcome Samantha Valentina!!

Congratulations to proud parents Sam & Valeria!

It is so hard to believe this little one is only 8 days old, she's holding up her head, playing with her toes, would someone tell the little one she's not suppose to be doing any of those things yet... hahaa!

I think I'll nickname her miss legs!  I'm anxious to go through the rest of the images, this one of her stretching out her legs and posing just like her Mom who used to model just had us laughing, she's starting early!

There are some really adorable ones I can tell already, gosh Daddy better start getting nervous this little girl is a charmer!

I wanted to share these on the same day, as Miss Samantha literally has relatives all over the country..and a few outside of this one, who are anxious to see her!

Tristan is here!!

I'm definitely in the mood to share different types of images on the blog here, however you've all seen this sort in your visits.

Today this one just spoke to me, could be the recent passing of my own father. 

I just love the strength and tenderness... the muscles and tattoo in honor of the boys.  The tenderness of hands in holding both boys,  Jivans in wonder and the newest little pair of Tristans.

For the relatives in France let me also share glimpse of Tristans adorable face.  At 7 days of age I'm sure this wasn't the first kiss his proud Dad has given him.

It's made me think of so many fathers day poems, the wonder  of images, I truly love what I do!!

Thank you all so very much, for sharing your lives.

 

My Niece

They are expecting!  My niece Richelle and her husband Jeremy are expecting their first baby quite soon, the images were taken, two days later her doctor confirmed oh yes she's full term.  She is reminding me in this pose of a California Girl!  We had a lot of fun doing a variety of poses, artistic included a few are on the  Website.
