Terence has got to be one of the most calm baby we’ve worked with. His mother initially contacted us to shoot photos to commemorate his 100 days after birth. On this special day in Chinese tradition, relatives and friends will send gifts such as clothes, shoes and hats for the baby. This is an important day for the baby because the celebrations represents the wish that the baby will live 100 years.

Whoops… looks like Terence may have done some baby damage. His grandfather’s reaction was just too funny 🙂t5 t6t7

Here’s to Terence and his 100 days after birth and 100 years (and more) of prosperity and happiness to come 😉

baby | jaxon

Jaxon was an absolutely delightful little toddler. He isn’t exactly camera shy either, as seen from the photo above (He was trying to kiss the camera). Some fun facts about Jaxon: He likes reaching for the stars and stuffing his face with dehydrated bananas and strawberries. Here are some of our favorite candid shots of Jaxon, a change from the more ordinary portraits 😛
j3  Did we mention he also had a strange infatuation for his cute little belly button? Super cute!

The kids have certainly grown and now the twins even have their own jumble jargon 🙂 It’s super adorable hearing them talk. They even surprised me with some shortbread cakes that they picked out themselves. Melt!

This past weekend could not keep smiles off my face 🙂 And the reason being is that when babies are asleep, near deep sleep, you can almost pose them anyway you want. Nathaniel was the first and only baby this entire year out of all our sessions who slept so soundly we were able to prop him in the cutest way possible.
When we arrived Nathaniel was still awake, but his beautiful mother was in the process of putting him to sleep.
Food coma is the best for babies 🙂 And let the fun begin 😉
And the money shot 🙂 This was the one photo that was brighter than sunshine for us! (Of course we had to put glasses on him!)

Ahh! This was such a fun family session 🙂 Big brother Jack was quite a character and absolutely not camera shy whatsoever!

Little brother was just too cute as well!

We love the Biala family! It is so nice to hear a couple who has been together for over a decade and have fostered such an adorable family!

Time for mom and dad now!

It was so nice to see the Basaca family again for their holiday portraits! Last time we met up, Joaquin was just a newborn and now he’s growing up to be a handsome little man 🙂

Isabella, his big sister, is growing up just as fast.

Nothing like one big happy family 🙂

portrait | oz + xander

So excited to share this family session with everyone! The two boys, Oz and Xander are just too cute for their own good!

Throughout the session, we kept getting stopped by tourists and passerbys commenting on how adorable the boys were!

The last time we met Xander he was just a newborn and it’s safe to say that Oz has now graduated from blueberries to ice cream pops 😛

Here’s a cute outtake just for giggles:

Can’t wait to see the Bell family next time… these boys will have already stolen some hearts by then 🙂
