Oh how I loved this shoot! They could not have picked a better location, Natalie’s aunt’s backyard in Anaheim. A lovely garden, koi pond the size of a pool and gorgeous lighting. Plus, their spring colored wardrobe was pretty awesome too. Bells is growing so fast as all babies do, you can compare from her January newborn session here.
This was shot in the mid-day on the Saturday before easter so there was an easter egg hunt, easter bunny and games going on on the other side of the giant backyard. It was super fun to watch the kiddos get all excited over the easter bunny and running around with their easter baskets. And yes, like with most events I shoot, there was some yummy, super delicious cupcakes, strawberries and other great food. I love how I’m attracting all this good stuff.
I just melt seeing these photos, George and Natalie are so easy and fun to photograph… their emotion and connection is so organic and I love capturing it. Again, knowing the subject helps tremendously!
Big props to Bells’ grandma for getting her this super cute bonnet for her easter photos.
Yup, Bells still has that strawberry blond hair.
Thank you George for making this photo extra fun.
Beautiful yellow poppies.
Natalie’s official trademark.
I love baby feet and hands, you’ll just have to deal.
My favorite of Bells. She is so cute, I wanted to pinch her cheeks and give her lot’s of kisses.
Proof of their amazing and most loving connection. They were given no direction, they just interacted naturally and I snapped away. Love how comfortable they are in front of the camera.
If you’re not officially in love with Bells after seeing these photos then I’m not sure what will do the trick.
Nat and George, I am so grateful to you for allowing me to capture these family moments for you. I love working with you and never in a million years did I imagine that we would go from sharing cubicle space, office meetings, excel spreadsheets to sharing your precious moments while I document them and you support my venture. What a lovely family you’ve created, I am very happy for the both of you. I hope to try that Malbec you gifted me very soon, I’ve got nothing but love for you babes!
Leave some comment love for Bells if you’re a fan, up next a newborn session.
