Palos Verdes Maternity Session // Dimple & Ravi

We met Ravi & Dimple on a beautiful Southern California Day, considering just this past weekend we were into the 90's in September.  Seeing Dimple, she looked amazing, there's nothing like the glow of pregnancy.  One of our most favorite things is capturing the connection between people - needless to say, the chemistry between Ravi & Dimple was infectious.  We could tell right away that Baby Murthi was on his way into a family of love.  

Throughout our time together we got to know our soon to be parents, hearing about how they met, how they began to date, it was such an amazing love story.  We had such a blast and can't wait to meet Baby Murthi in December.  

Ravi & Dimple, we can't thank you enough to allowing us to be part of your next chapter in life together.  You are both going to be amazing parents and Baby Murthi is one lucky little man.  We are beyond excited to meet him.  

Here are some of our favorite photos of our time together.  Enjoy!   

Surprise Announcement from the Ng Family // Pasadena Lifestyle Family Session

This is our 2nd year that we have had the blessing of photographing Roger, Carolyn and Audrey. Words could never express how special it is for Chris and I to be part of so many families throughout the years through photography.  Our families are not just clients, they become friends, they become part of our family.

When we met up with Roger, Carolyn and Audrey this year at Pasadena City Hall, we were excited to see them.  Audrey had surpassed so many milestones since our last session, not only is she walking now, but running.  She has her own little personality, she was so much fun.  She also had along with her a little surprise. As they walked toward us, I noticed Carolyn with a rolled poster.  During our pre-consultations, we are often asked if families can bring along props, or signs, and we are all for it.  Little did I know how special this sign was...

We were beyond thrilled to read that Audrey was going to be a BIG SISTER, and aside from close family, this was going to be their announcement of the BIG news.  Roger, Carolyn and Audrey, thanks so much for trusting in us to be part of so many special moments in your lives and we look forward to many more fun times together, and meeting your newest bundle of joy.  Audrey, your going to be an amazing big sister!

Enjoy some of our favorites from our session together.

Laguna Niguel Maternity Session // Expecting Baby Milo

We still remember meeting Mary & Jeremy for the first time at Disneyland for their engagement session.  We had such a blast with them!  Month's later we met them again along with their awesome friends & family to document their beautiful wedding day in Santa Barbara.  Fast forward to our session here in Laguna Niguel, now having the blessing of documenting yet another chapter in their awesome lives.  When Chris and I found out that Mary & Jeremy were expecting their new addition to their family, we were excited beyond words.  We hope you enjoy these images as much as we do!  Congrats again to you both, Mary & Jeremy, we can't wait to meet Baby Milo!

Costa Mesa Lifestyle Newborn Session // Samuel Mark

Meet the adorable 4 day old Samuel.  This session meant something extra special as we welcomed our newest nephew into our family.  We had anticipated the moment we would be able to meet the little guy, and seeing the love that Justin & Hannah shared during their maternity session (take a look here), we knew Samuel would be surrounded by love all around.  We loved that we were able to incorporate some of the things that his mommy and daddy both love.  Justin and Hannah are BIG fans of the Boston Red Socks, so of course, mommy got her newest little man the most adorable crocheted hat.  We also got to document Justin's teddy bear when he was a baby.  We love that after all this time, he's kept such a precious memento of his childhood to share with his son.  

Looking into the stolen moments that mommy had while feeding Samuel, we were able to document the already overwhelming feeling of love that Hannah has for Samuel.  We can't wait to watch him continue to grow even more handsome every day and to celebrate so many milestones he has yet to reach in the near future.  We love you Sammy Boy!

Documenting Baby's First Trip to the beach // Pier 15 Huntington Beach

Last weekend while celebrating a family members 5th birthday, Dom and his family set out to grab some sun at the beach.  This was Dom's first time ever at the beach, on the sand and even dipped his tiny toes in the water.  I had the pleasure of documenting this fun and awesome milestone in their lives.  So much fun!  Enjoy some of the fun moments Dom had!
