We initially had little Devon scheduled for his newborn shoot a week earlier (we schedule newborn shoots within the first 2 weeks of life…with days 7-10 being the ideal days for us). We had to reschedule his shoot for a week later (health of our newborns always comes first), and this time around our little guy was ready for us! He slept like a champ for his individual shots, and tolerated a multitude of outfits and props. Love that Mom and Dad brought their own football themed props (hmm, guess who their favorite team is?)! Big sister, Sophia, was beautiful. She posed like a princess for us while her baby brother was prepping for the shoot. Such a sweetie  🙂  Devon, you did an amazing job (and I really want to pinch your cheeks every time I see your photos!). It was great meeting you, Mom and Dad!  Here’s your sneak peek:

P.S. We are officially fully booked for 2015!  Thank you for a great year  🙂  We are continuing to book shoots for 2016!

It’s been awhile since we last saw Kaitlyn and Kendall (click HERE to see their previous shoot), and it was so good to see the girls again! Since their last shoot, they both became big sisters to little brother, Kaeden.  In Mom’s words, “3 kids are like, whoa!”  🙂  Each child had his/her own personality. Kaitlyn was mature and sweet, and ready to help us out with her younger siblings (click HERE to see Kaitlyn’s last “solo” shoot).  Kendall was like a firecracker; she was our little gymnast. Kaeden was cautious at first, and later showed us his happy, fun personality.  We had such a great time with everyone…I’m so glad that we were able to get everyone while they were healthy (sometimes, it can be so hard to schedule family shoots with multiple little ones…it’s inevitable that someone will be sick at any given time). Mom and Dad, it was wonderful seeing you all again…and congratulations on your beautiful family  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

We all saw that smiling, cherubic face a month or so ago. Click HERE to see Moani’s family photo shoot. After the family shoot, Mom and Dad asked if we could also do a child shoot for their youngest daughter, Moani to celebrate her upcoming birthday.  They requested for a white background (our second white background request in a week). Moani looked so sweet in her dainty pink dress. I also loved the primary color outfit that she changed into after the pink dress. She did the cutest hand gestures, clapping and opening/closing her fists while laughing.  I hope you had a wonderful first birthday, little Moani! May all of your birthdays be  equally filled with happiness and joy 🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s the color trend for Christmas this year…white, black and red…and we love it! Maile wore a tres chic beret for our shoot, and Mav wore the cutest little bow tie. Both kids looked like they came straight out of a children’s magazine, and they were ready for their shoot. Grandma brought her sweet smile, and Mom and Dad brought their “natural charm” (and humor). We always have a great time with Maile and Mav’s family, and look forward to their annual shoot (click HERE to see their 2014 shoot). We wavered over the shoot location (not exactly beach attire), and Mom finally came up with a wonderful suggestion, which worked out great for all of us!  Thanks for a fun and creative shoot, Mom and Dad, it was great to see you again this year!  Here’s your sneak peek:

It was an early morning shoot, and I was impressed that Mom and Dad could get their two boys ready and happy for their shoot. The sun was rising, and we didn’t want it to be too bright for their shoot. They wanted a family shoot against the view below their house (they have an amazing house, with a magnificent view). The boys were matching in their adorable suits…it reminded me of Mikey’s 1 year old shoot (click HERE to see Mikey’s shoot). Click HERE to see Roman’s 6 month shoot with us. I had fun playing with Mikey and his puzzles while Mom and Dad were getting ready for the shoot. Roman flashed us his toothy smile in belly busting laughs 🙂  Thanks for sharing your beautiful house with us again, Mom and Dad!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Every once in a while, we are fortunate enough to have a baby that smiles for almost every single shot…and Owen was our little man! He arrived at our studio smiling up a storm, and I was concerned that he was going to “use up” all of his smiles before we started the shoot.  We didn’t have to worry, because Owen flashed his cute dimples for us the entire shoot. He seemed to smile at everything (which bodes well for his temperament in the future), and sat up in his tripod position for us like a champ! I loved the adorable elephant theme, how cute is that knitted hat?! Mom and Dad, Owen has your happy, calm personalities…just a reflection of great, happy parenting  🙂  Thanks for an amazing shoot!  Here’s your sneak peek:

The last time we did a photo shoot with Mia, she was 6 months old! Click HERE to see Mia’s 2010 photo shoot with us.

Since that time, Mia became a big sister to Lily. Loved how Mom stylized her shoot with matching dresses, umbrellas and boots!  She even had a vision in her mind, incorporating the rainy weather outfits and rubber ducks…just adorable!  The girls had fun picking flowers, chasing bubbles, and laughing at their Aunty B (thanks again, B for your help with our shoot–we all couldn’t stop laughing because you are hilarious!).  Mia was such a good listener, and took directions like a champ! Lily was a little cutie who knew what she wanted (which did NOT include her big sister kissing her on the cheek for a sibling shot), how could you resist a face like that?! Thanks, everyone, for driving out for your shoot…we all had so much fun!  Here’s your sneak peek:

A year has gone by since we last saw Rob and Elle, and I can’t believe how much they’ve grown in just a year.  Last year (click HERE to see their 2014 photo shoot), they preferred to take photos together. They tended to be shy when I photographed them individually. This year, they were little hams! They loved taking their solo shots, and gave me the happiest, sweetest little smiles…all while looking at the camera  🙂 Oh Elle and Rob, please don’t grow up too quickly. I love your refreshing innocence and giggle inducing antics!  It was wonderful to see all of you again, Mom and Dad, here’s your sneak peek:

Sweet little Maya had the sweetest, brightest eyes.  Her big sister, Risa (almost 3 years old) had the same beautiful eyes 🙂  Baby Maya slept just long enough to get through the sibling shots, then decided that she wanted to see the world! In the meantime, Risa flashed her cute smile for us with every snap of my camera (Dad did tell us that she LOVED to have her pictures taken). I think Maya knew it was her time in front of the camera, and wanted to show us how beautiful her eyes and facial expressions could be…she was adorable! Risa, I hope you are enjoying the life of a “Big Sister”!  Thanks for driving out to see us, Mom and Dad…here is your sneak peek:

Our holiday season shoots are never complete without seeing Renyn and Lauryn! Click HERE to see their 2014 photo shoot. I first met this family when Renyn was less than a year old…I remembering propping him up because he wasn’t quite sitting on his own at the time. Since that time, we’ve seen them at least once a year. This year, we did the shoot at Renyn and Lauryn’s house. They were so very patient (we had to wait for the sun to go down…it was so bright!), and took directions incredibly well. Our shoot went flying by, and we were able to shoot at a variety of spots that day.  Mom and Dad invited us inside, and I was thrilled to see how many of our photos they used throughout the years.  Mom brought out calendars, books, cards and school projects.  Their walls showcased their individual and family photos…and it made us smile  🙂 I  absolutely LOVE when people use our photos (at least we know that you like them…and they aren’t just sitting on your CD or USB drive, LOL!). Thank you so very much, Mom and Dad, for sharing your wonderful family with us. We’ve enjoyed seeing them grow year after year, and we have special memories of each of your shoots (click HERE to see our “SPAM Musubi shoot”, where I literally danced with a musubi on my head to get the kids to smile…really, I have absolutely no shame, Edson can attest to that!).  Here’s your sneak peek:
