Got to do some photos for a good friend and her wonderful little family for a special occasion: her son Phineas’ first birthday smash cake. Mom made the crown (and cake!) and I was seriously dying of cuteness. Not to mention there is something just so tragically funny about a kid crying his heart out while at the same time shoving cake in his mouth.
Got to try something a little new recently: a walk around Mission San Juan, which is always nice, and a photo shoot for little Isabel’s First Holy Communion. Unfortunately it was a busy Saturday so it took a bit of photoshopping to remove some background tourists, but the isolation with her in the white dress and the huge old archway was just too perfect to have random people in the final shot. Although I have been to the mission many times it was the first time I had actually gone into the chapel, and I’m so thankful I did! Could have shot in there for hours! It had some really amazing architecture and lighting. Looking forward to revisiting the mission for some personal shooting. Maybe on a weekday 😉
Couldn’t have asked for a better setting to take maternity photos. A beautiful nursery set up for little Lizzy and then a tree covered park right next door. And we even ran into a horse as he left the stable for a walk on the local trail.
Perfect rainy day for an indoor photo shoot with this adorable little one. She was so great having fun with her smash cake. Big brother just had to get in on some of that frosting as well 🙂
One of the Christmas photo sessions I had in Laguna Beach. Gotta love being able to spend an evening at the beach with great family friends, and in December!
