Ruby, John, and June : Bay Area Maternity Photographer
<running around like a chicken with my head cut off> Busy busy busy!
Baby June has already entered the world so this post is a bit late ;) But I wanted to congrats Ruby and John on their new little joy, June Adele! I spent a wonderful afternoon earlier this month photographing Ruby's belly and can't wait to meet and photograph June soon!
Bay Area Kids Photographer : Shae and Ava
Happy Easter!
The morning after I arrived back in Los Angeles from Costa Rica I had the chance to photograph my favorite little orange county darlings, Shae and Ava. I photographed them back in December for their Christmas card but little Ava was at that awkward not-yet-sitting-but-not-quite-only-laying age so their Mama, Sarah wanted to try again when she got a little stronger. I've been photographing Shae since she was only 6 months old and have so enjoyed watching her come into her own little personality. She is a spit-fire and is definitely going to be a handle when she hits her teenage years! Her expression would go from mysterious and serious to a huge smile in one frame!
I think this is a perfect shoot for an Easter-day post .. little girls in Sunday dresses never gets old to me!
Love to Sarah and Brian- xoxo
A little Ivy Cat to brighten my day.
Before I left I was a mess. Like, seriously, my calendar was peering at me from behind the corner of my monitor as if to say, "Are you kidding me? I am not coming out until at LEAST June." My laundry was piled high, the kitchen sink stacked with dishes from too many weeks ago, and lets not even start talking about the state of my TIVO! I was starting to envy my day-job friends- you know the ones who get to wake up, go to work, and then come home? Before I left, knowing myself all too well, I took some advice from my mom and scheduled a day off. Listen, I know some of you will look at me and laugh. Ehem! You were just in Costa Rica, missy! But guys, seriously, I was working. ;) If any of you have a hard time handling the insane schedule of your own business (Isn't is so masochistic that we are literally doing this to ourselves??? Terrible ;) ) try this method and stick to it! Schedule a day off. Put a vacation notice into your boss. ;) Spend the day on your couch watching TV, turn the twitter off, do the dishes, and finish up that laundry!
I'm back in the saddle, my friends. Lots of shoots to edit and lots of blogs to share. For now, here is my favorite little girl, Ivy Cat from a few weeks back.This turned into a real study of expression. I wish I was witty enough to write expressions for these- can anyone think of anything funny? I mean, the last image needs something really really good.... you'll see what I mean.
This was a really good story she was trying to tell us.
