MY NIECE IS COMING!!!! | Mission Viejo, CA Maternity Photographer

The waiting is almost over!  I am sooooo excited!  This is the 3rd and last maternity session of my brother and sister-in-law before our newborn session of Tallulah!  I am so excited I could shout it from the mountain tops!  See, if you don't know already, my brother and sister-in-law tried for 7 years to become parents!  They have been parents all these years, they just didn't have a baby to show for it, and finally their dream has come true!  We only have 3-1/2 more weeks to wait to meet this much anticipated baby!  God is so good!  And our family has been blessed!

Did I mention that I cry every time I take their picture???  And I am a mess of tears right now!  The happiest tears I have ever cried!

I loved this one in color, and then I accidentally saw it in black and white and LOVED it even more!  Am I crazy to love this one in black and white more than color?  I mean, it's a field, at sunset... shouldn't that be a color image???

Mother and Son. Love. | Shop to Stop Breast Cancer

I met with this mother and son for a quick photo shoot.  They were the auction winners of a fabulous event in Riverside called "Shop to Stop" which is a fundraiser that provides free mammograms to women who need them.  The event is held each March in Riverside.  Thank you M for supporting such a great cause!

This mom and son were so adorable.  I love it when you can see a boy who is growing older but still genuinely loves his mom.  You can tell he protects her and cares for her almost as much as she does for him!

Here are just a few from our session together:

The N Kids

One thing I love about this business is that it has reunited me with old friends from high school! Now that we all have families and children, they all need pictures. I went to high school with these cuties mom. Her kids are so adorable! And so much fun to take pictures of... it was a real work-out, but lots of fun at the same time! LOL! Enjoy these! And the rest should be ready any time now!

The W Family - A Mother's Day Gift

My sister-in-law and her siblings wanted to have pictures done for their mom for Mother's day so we got together last weekend for a fun session. Here are just a few in time for Mother's Day. I will be working on the rest in the coming week.
