Baby C | Mission Viejo Newborn Photographer

Baby C's momma came to me when C was 4.5 weeks old.  By most people's standards, he is still a newborn... but by a photographer's standards he was already growing up!  He really is growing up too... he was about 12lbs by the time C came to me!  And with that big baby came an alert and strong little fellow!  He was so interested in what I was doing that he stayed awake nearly the whole time!  I can already tell he is going to be a socialite who wants to be sure he doesn't miss out on any of the fun!

Mom wanted mostly black and white's so the first few are in black and white.  I just wanted to show a couple in color as well!

Here's big brother D, while we were waiting for C to fall asleep:  We tried getting one of them together, but it proved harder than we had hoped for.

Mister C | Lancaster Newborn Photographer

Mister C is one of my dearest friends little boy.  So really, he is almost like a nephew!  I just wish they lived closer so I could smell his baby smell more often!  What is it about that baby smell that makes me melt???  So here are a few pictures from our newborn session together with Mister C.

And here is Mister C with his proud big brother, Big C.  Don't you just love how happy he looks to be a big brother!

A Legacy of LOVE | Grandpa Leon Smith 2/15/1912 - 8/29/2011

My Grandpa wanted to live forever, and he came pretty close... 99 1/2!  He left a lot in his legacy, but the greatest was his love for my Grandma!  Their love for each other shined brightly every day of their nearly 52 year marriage.  I was lucky to see glimpses of this love when I was with them.  The way he continued to chivalrously open her doors every chance he had.  The way they embraced hands as they walked through the grocery store.  The way she cupped her hands on his face when they would kiss.  The way he lead her through a room with his hand on the small of her back.  The way they danced... Oh, the way they danced!!!  I loved seeing them dance!  He would hold onto her proudly and with a smile as big as the room he would move around the dance floor as if to show her off to everyone!  And she would beam with the same amount of pride!  It seemed that they wanted to show everyone how joyous marriage could be, it certainly was joyous for them!  Two years ago I took a visit to Atlanta to visit my grandparents.  I knew it could be the last time I'd see Grandpa alive, after all he was 97.  I insisted on taking pictures... I wanted to capture the love!  I DID!

The C Family at the Beach | Irvine Family Photographer

What a beautiful family the C's are!  We met down at the beach earlier this month for some family portraits just in time before their oldest daughter heads out to school.  What a special time to capture the family together one last time before the college students leave!  If you have kids heading off in different directions, the time to capture photos is now, while they are still at home!

C family, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
