i finally got some time to sit down and get editing! yay!

this is sweet baby arrington! she put up a little bit of a fight at first, but it didn't take long for her mommy to send her off to sleep. :)



























she is just so sweet! i had a great time getting my baby fix while taking her pictures. :) tara - thanks for sharing such a special time in your lives with me! congratulations again!

faith | orange county baby photographer

i LOVE unplanned, spontaneous photo sessions. here's why:



after brigid's engagement session we went to her bridal shower. and when i saw this beautiful baby girl there, i just had to snap some pictures of her. i mean, look at that face! with those cheeks! and those eyelashes! oh my... she does not help my baby hunger one bit...











i love this last one because she's smiling at her mama...



thanks daryn, for making such cute babies! :)

brigid & trevor | orange county engagement photographer

brigid is a friend from work and i had so much fun taking her engagement pictures! this was probably the fastest photo session i've had to date... start to finish: 25 minutes! but i think we got some great shots...



















and i was able to make their wedding invitation!



pictures from the wedding coming soon!

my friend recently got a puppy and he is so adorable i just had to take some pictures of him!





it's hard to tell how small he is so we put him next to a soda can...











thanks allie! i just love your little puppy. :)

grant | orange county newborn photographer

this sweet baby boy was one amazing model. he slept almost the whole time, even while putting up with his mom and i poking and prodding him. he was wonderful! and not to mention adorable. i love his big cheeks and chubby baby rolls. :) and he has some pretty funny brothers too. at one point his oldest brother came in the room, took one look at grant and said, "that looks weird." hahaha! that gave me a good laugh.

thanks sara! i had a blast getting to know you and your beautiful family. congratulations again!
















this pose took some serious dedication! the mom's of these babies are seriously so talented!
