Amelia and her mom were in town visiting Amelia’s new cousins this past week and asked me to do a quick last-minute session before they flew back home to S. Carolina. Of course I was more than happy to oblige! Amelia was SUCH a happy baby… she loved watching her mom sing, dance, and clap and he smiles and giggles were completely infectious. Little Amelia is definitely a momma’s girl (as I’m TOLD I was when I was a baby) so as long as she can see her mom she’s a happy camper… which made my job incredibly easy. Enjoy!

We had such a blast photographing Lucas’ 1st birthday at Gyenari in Culver City. Not only do we LOVE Lucas and his parents but the Gyenari owners and staff were an absolute dream to work with and the food and atmosphere was incredible. As you can see from the photos, Lucas’ mom did an amazing job at planning his party. Every little detail was thought out and the guests really enjoyed the food, ambiance, and entertainment… particularly the balloon artist! I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed capturing them!

I was SO thrilled to photograph Grier & Reed this past week at 3 weeks old… I still can’t get over how precious and teeny tiny they are. Twins can be quite a handful but these two little babes were such a joy and very easy going, just like their mom and dad. I just LOVE the photos of them snuggled up next to each other and I look forward to photographing them as they grow up together!

Happy New Year! We loved, loved, loved getting to photograph this gorgeous family (don’t they just glow!?) as our last session before the holidays. The session was in preparation for super-darling Lucas’s 1st birthday coming in January (which we are also documenting!). At the end of the session we did our trademark “Destroy the Cake” bonus messy-session to up the cute factor even more! At first he was so confused as to why he got a whole cake to himself – but as he realized it was truly a reality he got right in there! Enjoy!

At Shoots & Giggles we create a special bond with each and every one of our families. This is largely due to the nature of our business but also has a lot to do with the nature of our personalities. When we say that we “fall a little in love with each of our clients” we truly mean it, and this family is certainly no exception.

I met Cindy and Jesse when they were first expecting Max and though their pregnancy shoot was a little like a comedy of errors (due largely to the weather and the location) they kept me laughing through the whole session and we not only ended up having a great time but got some pretty amazing photographs in the process. In early December I met up with them again when I photographed the birth of little Max. Even in labor Cindy kept the nurses, the doctor and myself laughing and after what seemed like 3 effortless minutes of pushing, Max Blu was born. This weekend I photographed the three of them together at home and was once again reminded how lucky I am to have such a fulfilling job. Not only do I get to capture the births of babies and photograph them as they grow, but I get to witness the transformation of couples as they become parents for the first time. This family has truly warmed my heart and I look forward to photographing Max over the next year. Without further ado… here are a few of my favorites from their last session; I’ll post more of Max when he turns 6 months old!
