Los Angeles Children P...
I met Noah and his family last weekend at their home in Manhattan Beach to take some photos of Noah for his 1st Birthday Party coming up. He was a total doll, I just loved his corduroy overalls and his adorable haircut :) After we took some photos of him at home and playing in his room we headed down to the beach to snap some of him playing in the sand and I'm so glad we did... Baby Noah LOVED playing in the sand! Here are a few of my favorites from their session :)
These twins were adorable! About to turn one, we both swung by to do a super-fun portrait session that ended with - you guessed it - our trademark "Destroy the Cake™" session! We just love those! It was a sugar-high shoot that included not only a lot (okay a TON) of frosting, but also jumbo lollipops and beautiful balloons and one comical cat! It may have been raining outside, but it was a party inside! Thanks guys for a hysterical session, you were a blast - and we've been craving birthday cake ever since! Enjoy your sneak peek, so many more to come! :)
We had an absolute blast two weeks ago shooting our holiday mini sessions at our favorite park. We got to see some familiar faces and meet a bunch of brand new ones, the day was a lot of fun and we got some really adorable photographs! Since there are SO many photographs to go through we are posting our mini sessions in two parts, this is part one... enjoy!
This first family holds a very special place in my heart. I photographed Everett several months ago when he was being released from Children's Hospital Los Angeles and I was SO excited to get to see him and his family again after all this time. (You may have read about Everett and his journey on our blog six months ago, if you didn't get to read Everett's story I encourage you to check it out but I warn you... have some kleenex handy) I was so delighted to see that Everett was the same smiley baby I remember from the NICU only now he is sooo much chubbier! It was so great seeing you guys again and we had a blast celebrating Everett's first year with a fun family photography session :)
This next couple was a total delight to photograph, they were such sweet & loving souls. They were expecting their first child just days later so we were quite impressed that the beautiful mamma-to-be was rocking her high heels! Here are a few of our favorite photos from their pregnancy mini session, enjoy!
This next little lady melted our hearts! Chloe was all smiles and all the time... her open mouth smiles were the absolute best and she just kept amazing us with her endless smiles and cheerful attitude. Her parents won the lottery with this angel. Here are a few of our favorite images from Chloe's first holiday portrait session, it was so hard to pick!
If you follow our blog you will no doubt recognize these little red heads! Lucille & Sophie are true S&G veterans... we've photographed them FIVE times in their first year and it never gets old, they always keep us on our toes and their parents keep us laughing the whole time! It's always fun photographing these lovely ladies and this mini session was no different! Here are a few of the girls :)
So around these parts we are pretty smitten with baby Sabrina and her parents - not only is her mama super creative and delightful - but she will make you laugh till you about cry. No joke. Love them. Obviously Sabrina is a total gorgeous bit of perfection, and so much fun to be around. I love how in that first shot she's like - "Hey, hey GUYS!" haha. And her dad will do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING to make her laugh, and I have to say, I really like that in a person ;) Aaaand BONUS! Awesome Gma was visiting and you knoooowww how we love Gmas and a good grandparent shot! Whoa. Needless to say - this was a good time, and this fam is a Baby Steps™ photo stages client of ours so we were fortunate enough to have gotten to capture them when Sabrina was but a wee little 3 month old! Lucky us, as usual. Thanks guys - can't wait to share the rest!
I can't believe it's been a year since I first met this family, time really flies! I first photographed Cindy & Jesse when they were still expecting Max, then I got to document Max's birth, Max as a newborn and now Max at 10 months old! I photographed them at their home in West Hollywood last week to take some photos of Max for his music-themed first birthday party (which I will also be photographing!!) and we also took some more "formal" portraits for their holiday card. I'll be returning to their home again this month to take a few photos of Max in his first Halloween costume... he's going as a lobster! Here are a few of my favorite images from Max Blu's latest session, enjoy!
