Post category:3. family Maternity Session

It was a windy evening but the lighting was perfect ;-) I have been photographing Stacie's family for almost 2 years. My first session with them was her daughter, Malia's 1 year's old portrait, then 2 years old portrait last September. As you can tell, Malia has the cutest clothes! Now, they are expecting 2nd baby in August, we did a maternity session ;-) All Malia wanted to do was running around so I chased her everywhere she went ;-) I'm in love with this first image where she is kissing her mommy. So sweet! Can't wait for a newborn session, we have lots of fun idea and it's going to be so cute! Enjoy the pictures, mom and dad! Love this one!!

Happy 1st Birthday Amaru! I photographed his 1st Birthday Party in April, and after about 1 month later, we did a family photo session including his grandparents. Mom requested to do a session on her birthday and she told me that family portraits would be a nice birthday gift for herself as she hasn't done any family portraits for LONG time. I thought it was really sweet. At age 1, Amaru loves running around and I had fun chasing him after! He also loved being up on grandfather's shoulder. Amaru got so excited at the beginning of session, so he took a quick nap to recharge later on.... then we started shooting again. It was so cute to see Amaru's sleeping face and meanwhile, I got to work on portraits for mom and her sister, etc. Mom ordered gallery wrap canvas collage to display in her living room. These are going to look so beautiful! there. Thank you for letting me photograph these special moments of your family ;-) One of my favorite of Amaru! Isn't this cute?? O-N-E ! This is the gallery wrap canvas collage that will be displayed at their living room.

Did I tell you I love my baby collection clients? I photographed Lucia when she was 3 weeks old and I was so excited to see her again with her big sister, Siena! 6months old is such a cute age to photograph, they are smily and I just love how she is sitting up on her own. So cute! Big sister, Siena loves to sing and we ended our session with her " twinkle twinkle little star" you can listen her singing in video below. it's just adorable ;-) We also created a super cute collage for Daddy for father's day gift and I know he is going to love it! Can't wait for our next session when Lucia turns 1 ! ~Enjoy the pictures~
