It was so nice to walk into Teresa’s home and find that she had perfectly arranged every little detail in her home to make their portrait session a little extra special! Her and her hubbie wanted photos together before they took the next step into parenthood, which I thought was very endearing 🙂 Enjoy the photos!

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!)

portrait | biala family

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!

portrait | basaca family

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 🙂

Congratulations to little Natalie, one of our model portfolio regulars, who just landed a gig with fabkids.com and Restoration Hardware after submitting photos from a session with us. It’s been a pleasure knowing and working with Natalie, her little sister and mother. Natalie and her little sister, Kylie, have been shooting their model portfolios with us at least twice a year since Natalie started walking and they’re landing gigs left and right from some of our photos! Super exciting for them and us!

First there was one, that one being Sydnee, quite a peach we must say…
… And then there will be two.
Step aside Sydnee, you’re about to get a new baby brother, named Winston, very soon 🙂Sydnee will be ready to take some pictures of her new baby brother, with her mother at nine months pregnant!
