Hey Baby!

Posted in Uncategorized

This weekend I’m participating in a baby expo for pregnant Mommies to be and I made a list of things I need to do and have ready for it.  A couple of nights ago at 3am I had one of those UH OH moments.  I thought I had ordered my banner but nope there was no check mark in the box.  So I used my best friend Google to find a banner company with quick turn around and ordered my banner.  It was shipped out within 12 hours and I had it the next day.  How’s that for service! 

So for a 3am banner I like it!  I wish I had room to put all of my little client friends on my banner, but I had to think fast and pulled photos from the first file I came to.

Stay tuned for a super fun Halloween related contest and for your chance to win some prizes.  Not a new car or anything, but some fun little goodies!  ;-)

Your banner looks amazing. Could you possibly email me where you actually ordered it from?

Hi Angela,

Your banner looks great, where did you get it from? At 3AM? Girl, do you ever sleep?

Meet Miss B, my little client from this morning. This is a very special week for her, she is about to turn the big ONE. Yep, she doesn’t look a day older than 11 months does she? ;) This little baby girl was so much fun and her most favorite thing is music and guess what, when she heard music she would dance dance dance. She even danced to my off key rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. In this first shot that’s what we were singing to her and she started dancing. She had the coolest Mommy & Daddy and we had a blast.

I have a full day of shooting tomorrow so I apologize for being a short winded blogger tonight. Gotta get some sleep for a busy Sunday.

Party of Four

Posted in Uncategorized

This morning I travelled to Pacific Palisades to photograph a wonderful family. The youngest member of the family was a total cutie pie, he’s only 7 months old. While I was there he was starting to crawl, he was rolling all around and I got to see it! I love seeing babies do anything for the first time, it’s the coolest thing ever!

Now let me tell you about their other child. His name is Ozzie and he is six. He thought I was there to take his photograph and I think he thought he was the star of the show. So everytime I would get ready he would walk right in to the middle of the shot. Yes, Ozzie is their awesome dog, a Boxer. I swear this was one of the coolest dogs ever, so calm, so sweet and just wanted to be around his family. The best part, he loves his baby brother and you can tell he’s very protective of him.

These two boys are so lucky, they have amazing parents who are some of the nicest people ever, I swear I’m so lucky, my clients are all so beautiful and kind. I had such a great time and we even got a few snaps of their little guy in his Halloween costume. It was too cute.

A sibling shot…

Aren’t they gorgeous? The entire way home I was trying to figure out who the beautiful Mom looks like and I think I’ve decided she looks like Andie McDowell.

I love how he has one eye peeking out at me…

Of course Ozzie wanted to be the star so I took one of him alone…

Something to make you smile

Posted in Uncategorized

Word on the street is that one of my sweet baby clients started crawling today! The little one that is at the top of my blog is officially mobile! I just saw the video on her blog, how cool is that? Congrats! Let the baby proofing begin. When we started to baby proof I remember reading that the best thing you could do was to get down on the floor as low as you can go and crawl around so you can see things from your child’s point of view. That really helped us.

Here are some tips that I found on the safe kids website for those who are starting the baby proofing process. Most of them are obvious but I thought I would share anyway for all my clients with little ones.

 

  • Keep coins, small toys, nail scissors, and balloons — any item that is small enough to fit inside a cardboard toilet paper roll — out of infant’s reach.
  • Remove mobiles and other hanging toys from the crib as soon as your child can reach up and touch them.
  • Shorten drapery and blind cords.
  • Remove the plastic end caps on doorstops, or replace the stops with a one-piece design.
  • Drill breathing holes into any trunk you are using as a toy box in case a child gets trapped inside. (And install safety hinges on toy boxes, or buy one with a removable lid to prevent pinched fingers.)
  • Lock any potentially dangerous substance in an upper-level cabinet. This includes alcoholic beverages, household cleaning formulas, laundry supplies, medications (including nonprescription varieties like vitamins, children’s Tylenol or Advil), paint, kerosene, gasoline, charcoal, lighter fluid, bug spray, pesticides, and fertilizers.
  • Place houseplants out of children’s reach; know the names of all plants in case a child eats one of them.
  • Keep a bottle of Ipecac and activated charcoal in your home, but use only when instructed by a medical professional.
  • Cover every electrical outlet in your home with a child-resistant outlet cover (the plastic plugs are easy to pry out).
  • Install ground fault circuit interrupters on outlets near sinks and bathtubs since they stop the electrical current when an appliance gets wet.
  • Place screened barriers around fireplaces, radiators, and portable space heaters.
  • Install hardware-mounted safety gates at the top and bottom of stairways with two or more steps. Pressure-mounted models may not be strong enough.
  • Pad the edges of coffee tables and brick or tile fireplaces.
  • Remove the crib bumper pad as soon as your infant can get up on all fours since baby may use it as a step to climb out.
  • Position audio/video equipment so children cannot pull televisions or stereos off furniture.
  • Keep appliance cords wrapped short so children cannot pull coffee makers, toasters, and other appliances.
  • Secure bookshelves, entertainment centers, and bureaus to walls since they can topple onto children who use furniture to pull up and stand.
  • For more information about creating a child-safe home, visit the National Safe Kids Campaign at www.safekids.org.

    Oh and now for the something to make you smile…. This little video is floating around on the internet, I love this little one’s laugh! It sure made me smile! If any of my clients out there want to share videos just email me and I’ll gladly post them here on my blog.

    I’m giggling at picturing you crawling around the floor looking for safety hazards…but only because I did it too :)

    Thanks for these tips!!
