There's something about kids playing in the leaves that is just magical. Needless to say, these guys had a ton of fun throwing the leaves around. I love this shot - especially her little hands, tossing the leaves with such enthusiasm!
You know I'm a sucker for these unguarded moments...
Between his baby blues and her smile, they could stop traffic!
Look at all of these beautiful smiles. You might remember the littlest one from his newborn session. He's so big now (with tons of smiles) and his older sister helps out a ton - lucky mom!
Stunning.
Completely. Head-over-heels. Love. This...
Yummy baby goodness.
Little "R" was celebrating his b-day last week with all kinds of friends, a bounce-house, a pinata, three cakes, you name it! Everyone had tons of fun and I felt lucky to be there, surrounded by so many good people.
Pre-party contemplations...
Bounce-house fun, fun, fun!
Okay, she was just asking to be photographed!
Some serious loot.
Ooooh, fire!
Happy birthday, little R!
They could be models. I swear. Gosh.
Ralph Lauren casting call - take your pick! :-)
Handsome daddy + gorgeous mommy = super cutie little girl. What a lovely family.
I can't get enough of her itsy-bitsy feet. Those toes! Oh my goodness.
I don't know if they get any cuter than this...
Gorgeous mommy is the owner of KidzArt in Sacramento, a fun and unique drawing program for preschoolers through seniors. Check out their Mommy & Me Classes as well as their After-School Classes.
Even with as busy as I've been, I couldn't resist taking a moment to show you some beautiful shots of this family and their identical twin boys who are just a BLAST to photograph. They are so funny with such different personalities and jokes. Fun fact about these guys is they were in a movie when they were smaller. A hint...the movie title started with "Meet the..." Can you guess?
This family was just too much fun to photograph. We met up at an apple orchard and had a great time rolling in the leaves, drinking AMAZING apple cider, and finding the perfect spots to shoot in.
I think this is my favorite shot from the whole day. His smile is contagious!
Mom was just gorgeous in this soft light. Another little one on the way and she's just glowing.
Another one of my favorites -- there are really too many to choose!
What a fun day!
The week before Thanksgiving was simply overflowing with autumn colors. What better to do with a beautiful day than to use it as the backdrop for this lovely family. Their little boy is eight months old and, as you'll see, just lights up when he's in his parents' arms.
Cuddling with Mom in the fall leaves. It's the little things that make a shot sometimes. I've fallen in love with the thumb in his mouth - he was teething like crazy! And mom's scrunched nose - so sweet!
Fellow explorers --
In love with the tongue, too. I think I'm a sucker for the unusual, but it's so true of the moment.
Check out these colors. Just lovely.
We got a little bit of everything on this shoot...
A little jumping on the bed --
A little fun in the sun (love her blond hair!) -
Some play with the dog, Zeus --
And my favorite picture of the day, Mom and son. Just perfect.
Just so you know, Kelly (in the picture above) has a wonderful pilates studio in Sacramento - Purely Pilates. I have a client who goes to the studio for the prenatal pilates program and she says she LOVES it.
I definitely have a special place in my heart for this little man. He is the famous baby that graces the front of my website and the top of this blog. Plus, who couldn't go gaga over his big blue eyes and infectious smile. I have to say I adore his parents as well and have become good friends with them since I first met them for their newborn session.
Hello!
Quiet moment. Love those.
Can't wait to show mom and dad the rest of the pictures!!
