Looking forward to hearing from you!
I had such a fun time during this maternity session for Quynn and Nick who are expecting their first child (a girl) this month. We had a photo session in their home and at a local garden in Los Angeles. Looking forward to meeting their little lady and documenting this new family!
We celebrated the Chinese New Year by taking Oliver and Amelia to see their first parade in downtown L.A. We were able to find a spot on the sidewalk so that they could get a close up view of the festivities. Oliver loved seeing all of the cars drive by and the dragons. Amelia would occasionally say 'oooooh' and point when she saw something exciting. This parade was not only fun but easily accessible by L.A. standards. Best wishes for the new year!
So excited to have my first family session of the year! Life is busy and kids grow up way too fast so document your family as often as you can. Here are a few of my favorites from our session at Eaton Canyon.
When Amelia was born, I started a 52 week project to document her first year in photos. I love this project because it motivates me to try new things and isn't as much pressure as a 365 (serious kudos to those folks taking on that challenge). In honor of her turning five months tomorrow, here are photos from her first five weeks.
Earlier this week we took Oliver (and Amelia) to Disney's California Adventure for one last hurrah before I return to work from maternity leave. It was so fun to watch Oliver's reactions to everything he saw! His favorite things were the rides (he went on Mater's Junkyard 4 times and all the rides in A Bug's Land) and watching the cars race by at Radiator Springs Racers (he was too short to ride that one). My husband and I especially enjoyed watching the neon lights turn on at sunset. They even played the 'sha boom' song!
Knowing that we had a lot of baby stuff to bring I thought that my 50mm lens would be small enough to tote around. As much as I want really great quality photos of family outings sometimes it's just not practical to use the big camera all the time. I ended up splitting my time between my camera and iPhone. My iPhone 6 takes pretty great photos and is easier to use when my hands are full with the baby. Overall, I think it's best to use whatever camera is available to you so that you can enjoy the moment yourself.
