4th of July Celebration! [Buena Park Child Photography, Orange County Children's Photographer]

4th of July is one of my most favorite holidays. It's a close tie between that and Christmas. My sister and her husband hosted their usual soirée and it was a blast! (get it?  :oP )

Here are some of my favorites from our celebration. I'm so thankful to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

 

 

Featured at Castaway Collection [Orange County Child Photorapher, Orange County Baby Photography]

I've been featured over at the amazing Castaway Collection!  She makes the most beautiful newborn props. Her pant sets are so precious!


I didn't have a headshot for this interview so I had to quickly take one. I guess I should get some nice ones done soon. :)

Chic Critique Cover Contest [Orange County Senior Photographer]

It's that time again... time for another Chic Critique Cover contest!  I made 1st runner up with my last entry which was such an honor. My goal is to keep trying until I make the cover. A girl can dream right?  :)


Here is the lovely Debbie submitted as the next cover model.

If you haven't been over to the Chic website or forum you really should check it out. They are a wealth of wonderful information and affordable workshops and critiques to help you bring out the best in your business.

This little beauty was so fun to photograph. Isn't she a doll?  Happy 5 months Ellie!

 

 

Valentine's Day! [Orange County Child Photographer/ Orange County Baby Photography]

I'm so late in posting the Valentine's Day sessions I did with my little ones because we've been battling sickness for the last two and a half weeks. We are all finally on the mend and I'm starting to get back on top of things.

Here is my little mister with his love potion number 9.

And my sweet girl playing with conversation hearts.

Miss Ella is 3 months old! How I love watching these sweet babies grow :)  Isn't she just precious?

 

 

Baby Bear [Orange County Baby Photography/ Orange County Child Photographer]

It was a rainy day and we were cooped up inside.  I was folding laundry and noticed this outfit at the bottom of his drawer I had forgotten about. Inspiration struck!  I knew it was cheesy and yet I couldn't help myself. The light was fading fast and he was getting tired so I made my decision quickly. Now or never people!

 I know he'll hate me for it later but right now I think it's A-dorable! (with a capital A). How handy was it that I happened to have this giant bear that I begrudgingly thanked my Grandfather for 2 years ago.

I can hear it now..."I was nothing but a prop to you Mom!"
