The Birthday Girl

Today I traveled to Pasadena to photograph a beautiful baby girl’s 1st Birthday Party. She had her party at the Kidspace Children’s Museum that is located next to The Rose Bowl. She had so many friends and family there who all came out to help her celebrate her special day. She was surrounded by so much love, it was so sweet. I think it is safe to say that everyone had a wonderful time. It was in the 90’s today in Pasadena, OUCH OUCH OUCH! But little Miss A’s parents picked a perfect place with lots of beautiful shade trees for her party. For all of my Los Angeles blog readers, you should check out the museum, it’s a really neat place for kids, and don’t forget to take their swim suits, because there is a big waterfall and creek area for them to play in and cool down!

Thank you to Miss A’s family for having me photograph your celebration and for being so sweet and kind. I had a great time! Here are a few photos from today.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’m taking the day off tomorrow and spending it with my little ones at Disneyland. Let’s hope it’s a little cooler than it was today!

A Saturday Sweetie

This morning I traveled to Beverly Hills to photograph a soon to be one year old baby girl. She and her Mom were so sweet and beautiful, we had such a good time. I’ll tell you, I think little Miss P liked me a lot. When her Mom was getting ready or when she was getting changes of clothing ready I would hold Miss P. She would just look at me and we would giggle. Now that I think about it, maybe she thought I looked funny. We had some wonderful conversations. We would both sing at the same time, toddler singing is *the* cutest, our song consisted of one word mmmmm. Maybe we will go on tour!

Here are a few photos of our morning together, I already miss little P, she gave good hugs, big grins and squeals.

Her Mom saw a shot like this on my website and wanted to try it, so we did!

This shot was totally by accident, her Mom was changing her and I was changing lenses, I looked up to see her watching me. I quickly snapped it, I love her expression.

She’s ready for summer!

And finally, there is nothing better than a good book!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday like I did. I was also in front of the camera for a couple of minutes today. We had to get new passport photos taken for our vacation in August. Icck, now I know what my clients go through. I will *not* be sharing those passport photos, they are so not flattering!

Seriously Cute

This morning I traveled to Harbor City to photograph this adorable little guy.  He was serious business this morning, but also seriously cute!  We are going to have part two of our photo session in a few weeks, so be on the lookout for his face again.  He has two very sweet little sisters who adore him and his Mom & Dad’s faces just light up when they look at him.  Such a sweet and loving family and so kind.  And can I tell you, his Mom & Dad are headed to Jamaica for a vacation next month, just the two of them.  Color me jealous!  Have a good time, you deserve it!

Here are a few shots from our morning together….I’ll be back tonight or in the morning with a newborn, I’m headed to his house right now!

One year later

Don’t forget you have about six hours left to enter the $34 contest! (scroll down to Friday’s enter for details)!

This morning I went to see one of my little clients from last year. Last time I saw her she was just learning to stand up and she had very short hair and was very much a baby. Today when I saw her I could not believe how much she had grown up in such a short time. She is such a beautiful little girl and she reminded me of a porcelain doll. We had our session at her Grandparent’s home and wow, it was a photographer’s dream. Their home is registered as a historic landmark and there were so many wonderful spots to choose from. I was in heaven, such an amazing home and a very sweet family. It was great to see them again this year, that is one of my favorite things about my business, going back to see families each year and to see how their children have grown. I love it!

Here are a few to share from our time together this morning.
