Archive for October, 2009

I knew from the moment I heard this baby’s adorable name he was going to be a total doll and boy was I right! This little man was so happy and filled with personality that he made my job incredibly easy. I have so many favorite photographs from this shoot that it was hard to pick just a few for the blog… I just LOVE little Arlo :)










Cindy and Jesse were such good sports at this shoot! The conditions on this day were less than ideal (it was super muggy after days of rain and the bug situation was out of control) but you would never know it looking at their photographs. Despite the challenges the weather brought this couple kept me laughing throughout the entire shoot and we ended up having a really good time together. Thanks again Cindy and Jesse, you guys were such troopers and I can’t wait to photograph the birth of your baby boy :)



This bunch was such a pleasure to photograph – they made it a family affair and had Grandma and Grandpa there as well for portraits. It was wonderful to capture all of their interactions with sweet little Anaya. She has SO much personality just bursting out, and those long lashes were like butterfly wings just batting away!!! What an enchanting family. And… can’t go without the Halloween costume shot! Talk about a pumpkin – Happy October everyone!

Little Savvy and her parents hold a special place in my heart so this post is going to be a bit larger than usual… Savannah rose to Shoots & Giggles fame just a few months ago when we photographed her with her best friend and family dog, Buddy. The photograph of her sitting on Buddy is definitely a fan favorite and as dog lovers it never fails to bring smiles to our faces. When Savannah’s mom asked to do another shoot for the Holidays I of course jumped at the opportunity and once again Savvy and her parents didn’t disappoint.  As I’m sure you can tell, this family’s spirit is completely infectious which makes photographing them (and dancing with them) a total blast. I hope you all enjoy these photographs as much as I enjoyed capturing them!











This little pumpkin (its October – perfect time to use that endearment!) has the most amazing crystal blue eyes. As you can see, she was on the move and she was really into carrying around her stuffed toy bunny in her mouth like a puppy! Had a lot of fun with you guys, thanks for letting us capture the magic you all share.

We were so excited when OC Family Magazine asked to use one our images for the cover of their October issue and now it’s even more exciting seeing it finished! Special thanks to everyone at OC Family Magazine and at Ripe Orange.
