This little girl is so sweet. While I was shooting her brother she kept asking me to take her photo and when we finally went outdoors just her and I to shoot she went shy on me. She still wants her photo taken, but she’s just going to be a tid bit shy about it. It’s so cute because when she is, she plays with her hands and starts moving around, hardly making eye contact. Even still she manages to be cute as a button, that girl, she’s a heartbreaker in the making.

Isn’t her outfit the cutest? Her mama knows how to rock a great wardrobe.

Love these jumping shots, or so she tried.  ;)

These photos are bringing me tons of smiles, I love how these little things can make a difference in your day. I’m glad that my work provides this for me, it’s the greatest reward.

I’ll be back next week with more of my recent work and some fun posts.

Edgar received it as a gift from his friend that breed’s them. He had been wanting one for a long time and he couldn’t be more happier, he’s already in training. Did you know they have private training school for pups now? Edgar didn’t enroll him in one, but his friend did.

Let me just be loud and clear about one thing, I love the idea of my baby brother having this pup, I already love him too, but the name just makes me want to vomit! It’s okay, my brother has heard the ranting already. Like really, you really are going to name him that? How humiliating when you take him to the dog park, he’ll get made fun of you know? So If we can’t convince Edgar to switch the name (you know, it’s still early to change it), he might have a few different ones. Just like my parent’s chihuahua whom goes by Mousy and Chiquita, brilliant, I know.

The three of us, Edgar, my other brother Erik and I enjoyed a lunch at a cafe at the Beverly Center. We had originally thought of going to the UCLA Book Festival, but since Erik goes to school there he wasn’t too excited about being on campus on a Sunday.  Plus, Edgar and I arrived a little late so we decided to not go after all. After lunch we picked up the pup at Edgar’s friend’s house and took him to a park near by in La Brea. It was nice to get some sun and run around. Then we dropped Erik off and we headed to my place. Once we arrived Kris was able to meet the pup and play with him too, nice way to end the day since Kris had to work.

Now for the good stuff. There are many photos to view, but after viewing I’m sure you’ll agree that they are worth the long post, enjoy.

My favorite photo of the day.

Holy cute!

Now does this little guy look like a Duggie to you? Please join me on this campaign to change his name, a cute pup is counting on you.  What name would you give him just based on these photos? We don’t know his personality much yet as he’s only had him a few days, but he’s very playful and oh so full of love.

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.

I have many loving memories of her. Like the time she danced with me on her birthday, how she always made me a special hot chocolate so I didn’t feel left out while the adults had coffee and the time she spent in our home for a month when my mom was very sick. However, this is the only heirloom I have of hers and so it’s very special to me and I still keep it in the same box she delivered them in tucked securely in the back of my jewelry box.

I wanted to photograph them to include them in a photo book/journal I plan to make in the near future of her because I want to document her life and story. She is still very loved.
