One Year Old Cora | Murrieta Baby Photographer

December 5th, 2011

This little cutie has become part of my life over the last year. I have had the joy of seeing her at 3, 6, and 9 months, and now she’s one year old and toddling around. Her expressions and smiles are precious. She holds out her arms for balance when she walks. And she has had bumps and bruises that prove she is still learning.

Usually, I am a natural light photographer. I love to shoot outdoors – especially in fields with long grass, trees, fallen logs, and gorgeous afternoon sun. BUT sometimes our special memories are indoors, like Cora’s nursery.

Cora’s room is rich with gifts from loving friends and family, and treasures from her parent’s childhood. Before her room changed from a baby nursery to a little toddler room, we needed to record these memories! Seeing some of her toys took me back — who else wanted a puffalump when they were little?

One of my favorite things with little girls this age is sitting to read them books. I love that Jennie does that too!

After we gave Cora a baby paparazzi break, we took her outside to say hi to her doggies. I love love love this hairclip that Jennie found! I laughed when I learned that it was found on etsy, one of my favorite places for special and gorgeous handmade accessories. Jennie has great taste!! And the blue ballerina skirt? Love it too!

Cora needed a warmer outfit, so we did a quick clothing break and concluded with a few fun family shots.

Good Friends and a Baby Update | Murrieta Family Photographer

December 2nd, 2011

I’m always amazed at how quickly babies change in the first year! I just took newborn portraits of baby Danica three months ago. She was so sleepy and tiny. She curled up in a little ball to sleep, and was even willing to rest on Daddy’s guitar.

Now Danica is a super cute BABY with her own expressions and showing personality. She’s definitely not a newborn anymore!

This is her big sister, Delany. She is super smart, loves her family, and is already learning to be musical just like her parents.

Hats?! LOVE it. They draw your attention to focus on the beautiful, sparkling eyes.

We moved houses over the summer and I still can’t believe how close I live to this great shooting location. I love the sun, the grass and the trees!

My favorite, favorite, favorite image from the session. Did I mention that I love this image??
Delany is such a good big sister. She was so gentle as she held her baby sister. D – thanks for letting your babies sit right on the ground in the field! I love the natural look – without a blanket covering up the pretty green grass.

Here’s the whole beautiful family!

Another favorite image from the session. They both look amazing!

Dualy has fantastic fashion sense. I love how she has their outfits coordinate, but definitely are not matchy-matchy. If anyone needs help choosing clothing, I’ll just give you her number. (just kidding!!)

Thank you for a great session! I love doing family pictures for you!

A Sweet Family from Menifee | Murrieta Family Photographer

November 27th, 2011

I was so excited to get a call from this dear family requesting a family session. I’ve gotten to do senior pictures, 7th and 8th grade pictures, and even a 60th anniversary party for Heidi’s parents. Heidi is such an example to me of loving her family and treasuring time with her kids. I’m so thankful to have them in our lives and to serve with them at church!

Love it! Every couple should have a photo where you’re smiling at each other!!

Like most teens, going on a photo shoot isn’t their favorite thing. I think its because I tell corny jokes. ;) Well, at least they looked happy. They were probably thinking about the Chipotle dinner that was coming afterwards.

I could take pictures of Julianne all day. Her jawline, gorgeous green and amber eyes, and the highlights in her thick hair!! I love the soft, muted colors in this one. There’s plenty of her smiling, but for some reason I really like this one.

Thank you for asking me to capture these memories for your family. I can’t wait to see which one you choose to frame!
