I hope all MOM's, whether it's your very first Mother's Day or one of many that you have yet another wonderful day with your baby no matter the age.
Many of you may know Dr Monica Valenzuela, it is her very first Mother's Day we took several pictures of her with her little boy. Facebook doesn't allow the skin on skin images I so love with babies however my blog has no such restrictions :)
Congratulations to proud parents Sean and Denise on the arrival of their little boy Blake!!
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself and this image is proof. Blake is a mere 4 days old here... after working with thousands of newborns I have never seen anyone this young like Blake. He easily acted like a 3 or 4 WEEK old baby. He was fed three times, he should have been SO SLEEPY and not have a care in the world. Not Blake he is already mentally developed enough to realize that HEY I'm somewhere different, I am not going to shut my eyes I might miss something! LOL
Look how incredibly confident he is stretched out on daddys arm just hanging out! Thankfully Sean is very confident too, he held little Blake way out there too. He wasn't about to curl up and snuggle he's ready to crawl! haha! Even laying down he wanted to MOVE!
Blake has many other portraits this one however just spoke to his personality and strength at only 4 days!
Have you ever forgot your phone? Did you feel like you were missing a limb or something? LOL! I have!
I love my iphone, enough that I'm seriously considering carry two my personal and changing the studio's cell to one as well.
Anyway I've worked for hours as many of the new companies popping up don't provide templates for a perfectionist such as myself to get the photo just where I want it design wise.. however I finally got two of them done so I can see the quality of various vendors who are making the skins and cases for the iphones. Here are a few I did of Alissa, one more winter color its the 'case' the other definitely SPRING (a skin) I am ready for pink and flowers and fun!!
He's got a big boy name, however for now, Bentley is still a tiny little boy :)
Congratulations to proud parents Jodi & Bryan, your little guy is adorable!
He did a wonder job with his first professional photography session, we know he likes staring at those big lights!
I love the newest collection! The wings were made by the same company which supplies feathers and designs for Victoria's Secret, the owner himself helped me with these and another dark brown pair is being made for me to pick up on Monday!!
The inspiration for this set was so many of our homes, my own included have taupe and earth colors sort of tuscany tones... bring your childrens images into those main areas as ART show what you value most on your walls. We've done that with the newborns on the bench now it's turning it up for the toddlers and children as well.
This little sweetheart who was the very first to wear the wings and try the colors for me is Miss Alissa she is absolutely an angel! Very well behaved, she can pose all day long this is a very small sampling of her images, we had such fun!!
I also got some new pink wings as well, after all I'm already designing for spring, so be thinking of Easter colors too!! Gotta decorate the kids rooms :)
I'm not possibly getting older so how a little one that I think was a newborn just a few months ago comes in for her one year portraits is just impossible! LOL! I LOVE photographing this little girl.
Many if not most of you have seen this little one, she's on thousands of cards, some herself some with her Mom Jennifer. She came in on Monday, her birthday was Wednesday and her first Big Birthday Bash is Today! Happy Birthday Miss Ava, you are an absolute little doll!
To give you an idea literally how much they change in that first year... here is one of her many newborn portraits, she's a tiny thing you know how big that bow really is:
Here she is NOW just One year later :)
Several more of you have ordered the Mini Portrait Cases however for those that haven't I took a quick picture this evening of some of the ones that arrived this week before they go to their actual 'homes' LOL!
For those who haven't been to the studio yet, this is the main waiting area, and our resident kitty "Laddie" felt he should be in the image so he's stretched out on the rug haha.
These look like a book, however they actually open and are a 'box' So many of you love this for the images you love however don't need in your actual books/albums. The little easels are perfect to display whichever portrait you like, so easily changed depending on your design choice that day or week.
They also make excellent gifts to grandparents, I found out personally as I got the pleasure of seeing one brought to tears receiving it. The wonderful new mom had it filled with 5x7 images which fit perfectly. They also come in 4x6 or 8x8 sizes.
I hope your all getting the cute outfits ready for your little ones! For many it's their very first Valentine's Day, each day is special however it's fun to document some of them. So be it Frilly to Fun, or Tattoos to Tutu's have a great time with it!!
Here are the card designs for this year, pinks and browns are so popular so instead of the RED RED we sort of changed it up a bit :)
I'm really excited about the New Year, some new products are arriving in the studio this week.
I love the versatility of this one, it can be used as a very special 'box' to hold treasured items such as 5x7 portraits, that first piece of hair, to in this case perhaps 'Daddy's" favorite watch. Each one is custom designed using your favorite images
I'd like to wish you all a Good Health, and Happiness for the New Year!
