Los Angeles Maternity Photographer – Tamez Family

Meet the Tamez family, celebrating the soon birth of their son and baby brother Aiden.

Kris and I first met Daniel in the first year of dating, we were at a friend’s party and somehow chatted up a storm with him and built a connection. From there we were friends and Kris later joined the city that Daniel worked for. We are very happy to see Daniel and Raelena grow their little family.

The greatest gift and experience from this shoot was little Makaelah, what a sweet girl. When we first got to their house she was very shy since it had been like forever since we had seen her. Kris and I quickly started talking to her and connecting with her, even watched Alice in Wonderland with her and tada she was ours for keeps. On the car ride to our location she held my hand the whole way. While I shot couple shots of Daniel and Rae she played with Kris and had a great time. After the shoot we went to dinner and she wanted to sit next to Kris and I at the booth and so she did, she held on tight to my arm and I melted.

I loved playing with the umbrella (or UMBWELLA as Makaelah would say) that I picked up in China Town last week while in LA, best investment. Who knew Makaelah would love it so much. It turns out that she’s always wanted one!

Thank you Daniel, Rae and Makaelah for a wonderful afternoon, we can’t wait to meet Aiden. To see the rest of their photos check out the slideshow below and let me know if you love the idea of seeing the slideshow. So far I love how easy it is to upload, but not loving the poor quality it gives the photos when uploaded, experimenting with different companies, this is from Animoto. I wish Show It was easier to load, oh the choices.

Oh, and happy earth day!
