Los Angeles Newborn Photographer | Sweet Little Guy

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

This little one arrived at my studio yesterday ready for his newborn photo shoot with his mom and grandma in tow.  One look at how cute he he was and my heart melted.  I love it when I have the new moms to the studio and I get to tell them to put their feet up and relax or go to sleep for the next few hours.  I want them to enjoy the session as a mini break where they can fall asleep on my couch and we can do the rest.  So, while mom rested we had a chance to shoot away with this sweet boy.  I can sit and stare for hours at a newborn and their perfect little features.  They always have a sweet button nose, perfect chubby lips and my favorite are their fuzzy little ears and tiny eyelashes.  Yesterday was a good good day!!!  Mom, Dad and Grandma – here is your teaser!!!

Los Angeles Family Photographer | Beach Session Teaser

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Check out this gorgeous family!!!  We met up with everyone on Sunday down by the beach so that we could have a giant family photo session.  This group was great, everyone was so nice and it was fun getting to meet everyone.  When we started out the session we headed down to the waterline so we could get some shots under the pier.  We were trying to keep an eye on the waves as they would come in and out, but unfortunately in the second photo that wave snuck up on us big time!!!  I will be posting more from this session real soon, but until then, to everyone in the Rappole Family – here is your teaser!!!

Do you have a newborn?  Do you know someone that is expecting?  You won’t want to miss these photos from my newborn photo shoot yesterday!!!  I can say that newborn photo sessions are my absolute favorite and yesterday’s session was pure bliss.  This sweet girl not only slept for the entire shoot but she was also smiling a TON!!!  Wait until you see the last photo, check out her HUGE grin she had on her face!  After I took that shot, I sat back and was speechless.  She was just so cute and seeing her on that little bed smiling literally brought me to tears – happy tears!!!!  If you know anyone that is expecting or if you are yourself, call me to book a newborn session!  Photos of your baby at this newborn stage are priceless and irreplaceable and it is so awesome to be able to have images capturing these memories for you!!!  I look forward to hearing from you!!!  Jennifer and Mat – I hope you LOVE these images of your sweet Presley!  I loved spending time with you guys yesterday!  Thank you all so much!!! xoxo

Los Angeles Newborn Photographer | Sweet Sweet Madison

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

This month has been off the charts busy with all sorts of fun photo sessions and there are still a bunch more to come before the month ends!!!  I moved my studio at the end of last month into a bigger place and I am LOVING shooting in this new space!  I find it perfectly equipped for all of the newborns that have been coming my way and I am having a blast shooting all of the sessions!!!  Yesterday Mia and Madison drove down from Hollywood to come spend some time with me for a newborn photo session so Mia could get photos of Madison.  Typically my newborn sessions are for babies that are under two weeks of age and the ideal time frame I prefer to shoot is when the baby is between 5-9 days old.  Madison was actually celebrating her 6 week birthday so I was wondering if we were going to be able to get those sleepy newborn shots that everyone loves.  Once everyone got settled in and we cranked the heat up to get Madison comfy she soon fell off into dreamland.  This baby is just outright beautiful!!!  She is perfect from head to toe and it was a great session!  This is the teaser from Madison’s session and soon you will be seeing a lot more great shots from our date!!!  Thank you so much Mia for bringing her down, we had a great time!!!!  I also want to thank Monica, Mia’s sister for coming along and being there to also help out whenever we needed her.  My last shout out goes to my awesome friend and best shoot assistant I could ever ask for, Debora.  She assists me on about 90% of my sessions and I am grateful to have such a great right hand man to help make everything run so smooth!!! Love ya Deb!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

When Alex showed up at my studio with his parents for a photo shoot he was absolutely perfect!  His blue eyes are to die for, he has the cutest cheeks and his smile makes you melt.  Marie and Anthony are amazing parents and Anthony has the innate ability to make his son smile for days.  The best part of the shoot was when Alex was laying in the wooden dough bowl.  He had found a new paradise, this little guy LOVED laying in there.  Marie and Anthony, here is your sneak you have been waiting for!!!!  Thank you again so much for coming in for your session, it was a ton of fun!!!

Yesterday afternoon I had the opportunity to get together with a family that was visiting for a couple of days from Arizona.  They were hoping for a family photography session before they left to go back home and once we had the details squared away, we met for our shoot down at the beach!  The three of them were all so nice, we had a ton of fun and their little guy Jack was super cute!  Jack LOVED the water and was ready to head on in!  Here is a teaser of their photos to come!!!  Thank you so much Rusty, Bill and Jack!

Los Angeles Newborn Photographer | Sweet Baby Liam

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Yesterday morning I headed to my studio for a newborn photo session.  I was thrilled to bits because my partner in crime for the day was the one and only Kamee June!  Her energy is infectious, her talent is outstanding and the instant cohesiveness we have when working together is just seamless.  Our client for the morning was this sweet and beautiful little guy named Liam.  I loved the fact that his mom was so easy going and just sat back and let us do what we do best, take lots and lots of photos!  The icing on the cake came later in the day when Liam’s dad arrived and stepped in to get a few shots together with his boy.  This is not the sneak peek for this session, it’s only the sweet little teaser of what’s to come!  Thank you so much Liam, Nikki and Bryan, the day was fantastic!!!  To Kami – thanks for hanging with me, I’m sad the day ended so quickly! xoxo

Los Angeles Children’s Beach Photographer | Andrew’s Beach Shoot

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Andrew and I picked a beach and made it a date so that I could have a beach photo shoot with him and he could have some cool photos for his birthday card invitations.  I loved getting together with him and his surfboard and just watching him look so cool in his board shorts and rash guard.  The best was when we decided it would be a good time for him to paddle out and we would get some shots of him on the next great wave!  Unfortunately, time was not on our side and what little sun there was had already been covered with the thick fog bank rolling in.  Andrew, thanks again for such a fun session, I love you to pieces and we will definitely catch you on a wave next time!
