Today I photographed my last two little clients for 2007. It’s been a wonderful, amazing, inspiring, absolutely awesome year. I can’t wait to see what 2008 has in store. Be sure to stop back by in a couple of days for my end of the year slideshow!
This morning I went to Montebello to photograph a sweet brand new baby girl. Now this little one is already one smart cookie. She knew that Santa was coming soon and she did not want to miss out on all those Christmas presents so she decided to arrive three weeks early. Her beautiful Mommy is in Grad school and it was the day of her final exam. That final would have to be postponed because little Miss Elina had other plans for her Mommy! By the time she arrived at the hospital she was 7cm dilated and her precious baby girl arrived a few hours later.
Here are a couple of photos from our morning together, she was so sweet and when she went to sleep she was so quiet and peaceful. Although her Dad told me that last night was a No So Silent Night
and she was up most of the night. Meet beautiful baby girl Elina…


This afternoon my little client came all the way from Indiana! I think she looks just like Dakota Fanning, don’t you? She reminded me so much of my little one, they are only two months apart too. Her mom had so many beautiful dresses for her so we made lots of wardrobe changes, that’s one of my favorite things to do! She was so cute and fun and she really loved to dance! She’s excited that Santa is coming soon. She had these amazing beautiful blue eyes that just sparkled when she smiled. Here are a couple to share from our time together this afternoon…
She looks like such a pretty princess here

I love your newborn shots, Angela! This little girl looks so precious! BTW, what lens do you prefer when shooting newborns? May I assume these shots were taken with an 85mm f/1.8? I need to get this on my Christmas list, too — is it too late??? =/
Beautiful portraits Angela! What a sweet baby and I agree - that little girl does look a lot like D.F.
Oh wow! My babygirl looks so peaceful in these pics……….you couldn’t even tell that she was initially crying and was so fussy during the photo session. Thank you for the beautiful pictures:)
