Newborn Session | Amelia Torres

You're my favorite reason to lose sleep.

When I first heard that Andi was expecting, soon-to-be grandpa Torres was doing his best to hold back the joy and excitement of it all.  Another blessing for us to be part of such a special moment in the lives of the Torres Family.  Amelia is the first grandchild and has more love to last her a lifetime.  I have no doubt that this past Christmas was a perfect one for her and her family. 

Andi, Amelia and the rest of the Torres family, thank you so much for allowing me to take part in such wonderful memories.

Newborn Portraits | Gavin Simone

"Let me love you a little more, before you aren't little anymore." - Michelle Thevenot

When I saw the quote above, I immediately knew that it was something I needed to share with you.  As we are asked to do a newborn session, we know how important this time is and how quickly time passes.  We are so blessed to be part of the newest chapters in their lives.  The truth is our little one's never stay little.  After the days have passed of swaddling our little bundles of joy, the only memory [or evidence for their wedding day] we have left are photos.  

Maurena and Dan, congrats again on your little guy! Mackenzie, we are so excited that you get to be a BIG sister!  Gavin we are so grateful to have been a part of your welcoming to the world.  We know your big sister will take great care of you.

One Year Grow With Me Portraits at Malaga Cove in Redondo Beach // Claremont Children Photography

Aloha... Hawaiian for love, welcome, farewell.  It's a feeling, it's an action, it's a way of life.  

Over the years we have been blessed with the Aloha from the Yamashiro family.  They have become part of our lives, not only friends but family... ohana.

We cant believe how quickly time passes, we still remember when Mari told us that they were expecting.  It's been such a blast seeing Milly continue to grow into her own beautiful being.  She has her sweet big sister Maya to look up to and learn from.  Fast forward a few months, we are excited to hear that Glenn and Mari are expecting baby #3 on the way.  Maya is already an amazing big sister, can't wait to see Milly take the role of a big sister as well.  

Glenn, Mariko, Maya and Milly... we love you guys and can't wait to be a part of the next chapter in your lives.

Yagami Family Portraits in Boyle Heights // Claremont Family Photographer

The Yagami Family are such a fun and unique family and we couldn't have been more honored to  photograph their extended family.

Their grandmother was living at a retirement home in Los Angeles and with some family flying in from Japan, she was surrounded by her family for some beautiful portraits. 

There were a total of four generations and we couldn't treasure our time more.

The stories between them are countless as Yasuko's granddaughter has learned to play the koto under June Kuramoto from Hiroshima and has played in numerous shows and cultural events. Her grandson is also an accomplished chef that has served many celebrities and dignitaries from Beverly Hills to Japan. 

We couldn't be prouder to see their family grow not only with their accomplishments, but with the love for their family. 

Although their grandmother passed soon after taking these portraits, her legacy and heritage are clearly on display for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren for many years to come. 

We're so grateful to be able to create these family portraits for the Yagami family and we hope you enjoy them as well!

If you need to update your family portraits or maybe you haven't taken any, I encourage you contact us to do so and start sharing your legacy with your loved ones!

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Grow With Me | Keanan 1 Year Portraits

I love our Grow With Me sessions! It give us an opportunity to capture the early moments in your children's live that seem to escape us so quickly. Kids grow up in a blink of an eye. I love getting the chance to help you preserve those fleeting moments, so that you have the memories to hold on to for a lifetime.

I had the privilege to document Ravi and Dimple's sweet son, Keanan, throughout his life. It has been such a joy to watch him and his personality grow into the sweet little boy he is today! Thank you, Ravi and Dimple, for allowing me the honor of documenting his first year. We look forward to seeing you guys again soon!

The Cloar family - need I say more?!  I absolutely love their family dynamics.  As photographers, we have the blessing of meeting and taking part of so many memories.  We've had the pleasure of witnessing the first hours of little London's birth day, and capturing these awesomes family photos for them months later.  

The Cloars have have 8 amazing children each of which has such unique talents and gifts.  The smiles you see are not just for the camera, these are genuine loving, happy-go-lucky individuals that make family a family.  Cloar fam, thanks so much for allowing us to be part of your lives and giving us the blessing of capturing these memories that will last for all the days of our lives.  May the Lord continue to bless your lives.

Newborn Portraits | Kiara

I still remember when I first found out that Dimple and Ravi were expecting baby #2.  We were on Keenan’s 1 year session and one of the last photos, Ravi and Dimple were having Keenan pose with 2 fingers up.  I knew right then and there as my eye’s began to fill with happy tears.  As a photographer, we are sometimes asked to keep secrets, as we are the first to know some of the most exciting things.  This was the case here, and this wonderful secret was safe with us. 

We are so excited that we have another year of milestones with Dimple, Ravi, Keenan and now Kiara.  Kiara is beautiful and nothing short of a perfect princess.  We look forward to the rest of the year together and seeing her continue to grow more and more beautiful each time we meet. 

Congrats again Ravi, Dimple and Keenan.
