Keeping up the Joneses

0 Comments 16 January 2012

I just wanted to use that title, writing it not my forte – just go with it. Here are some more photos from my session last week to capture the littlest Jones.

Such fun to capture the tiny ones. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome!

Another mini Jlooper was born just about two weeks ago and I had the pleasure of taking some photos with the Jones family once again! Jason is a designer and it shows in the details in their home, I loved every inch of it. I love this one of the proud papa, just thought I’d share while I edit the rest of the photos.

Welcome to the world Sullivan Jones! More to come soon…

Brothers in Bow ties

0 Comments 22 December 2011

In the midst of all of the family Christmas card photo sessions I got to do this lovely shoot. Rather than focusing on getting that great shot for a card this Mom really wanted to document this moment in time for each of her boys milestones; 6 months, 3 years, and 5 years. I nearly squealed when I saw these knit bow ties she had for each of the boys, aren’t they just the cutest. Not to mention such handsome little guys too!

A kiss from your big bro, that is pretty sweet. Happy Holidays!

Our Card

1 Comment 17 December 2011

I didn’t plan on buying myself and my girls matching dresses in the midst of the Missoni for Target craze, it just happened. I don’t think the 3 of us will go out in public all matchy matchy but it is pretty fun for our Christmas Card photos. We ended up ordering our cards from Pinhole Press, and I’m very happy with them. Here are the photos:

Yes we loved the image above so much we included it our card in both black and white and color. Overkill? Maybe.

Of course I take pictures of our girls all the time, but it really helped to set it up like a photo shoot. I love these images, and have many more from our little shoot, unfortunately I have had some computer problems and those images are on a hard drive not yet loaded back onto the computer. I’ll share more of their individuals hopefully soon.

Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and Happy New Year Friends!!

Christmas Card Photos

1 Comment 16 December 2011

Hi Friends. I have lots of great photos to share with you and now that my busy schedule has calmed a bit I have a little time to post some of the lovely families I have been lucky enough to take pictures of. First up my Sister and her gorgeous fam. She already sent out her cards so I don’t have to worry about ruining the great reveal in the mailbox! Isn’t mail time so fun in December!

We took these photos in Ojai – our peaceful and beautiful hometown.

Love my cute little nieces!!!

I can just hear Mark’s laugh in the above photo.

Bells’s mischievous look below:

I hope your holiday prep is smooth and hope you enjoy the last week leading up to Christmas!

Our good friends just welcomed Dimitri into their family and he is just the cutest, smiliest little guy! 2 months old already, but these photos were from about 6 weeks. Here are some of my favorites from our little session.

We love you sweet Baby D!

Working with the Weather

0 Comments 20 November 2011

Today I had to re-schedule four photo shoots, I do love the rain, but with the holidays fast approaching and my schedule pretty booked I am a little anxious about fitting it all in. Last weekend I was able to work around the weather with this family and we met up a little early and just as I was driving home the sprinkles started. I really love how these photos came together, such rich colors and we got quite a variety in one location – and all in less than half an hour!

Isn’t Bruna the dog such a cutie, not to mention the kiddos!

Driving the motorcycle with a little lip curl, love.

This next one quickly made it into my favorites, the texture I think is what I like so much.

I have been lucky enough to take photos for this family several times and they just seem to keep cranking up the cuteness. These dresses are just too precious!

And of course we got some great family shots as well.

Maternity

Beautiful Mama

0 Comments 14 November 2011

I love the chance to photograph maternity sessions, such an incredible time to capture and treasure. A woman’s body is so truly amazing and this beautiful mama is no exception. Can you believe this is baby number four?

I’m so lucky to work with clients who are up for fun, love the heels she threw on without a second thought!

I look forward to meeting the sweet little baby on the outside!

Generations

0 Comments 25 October 2011

Capturing large families encompassing several generations is an important but not easy feat. Lots of group shots to fit different segments of the family in and try not to let it get too boring. I think this family did a great job of keeping it fun and we got some variety within the shots.

I especially love the cousins shots:

And sisters shots:

All the girls and Grandparents:

This is one of my favorites – Sky’s look is so real and pretty!
