This gorgeous session started out as a vision last fall. I really wanted to do a session at the harbor! When I met J it was a perfect fit. On the day of the session a sweet couple made our dreams come true and let us walk right next to the boats. Then we hit up the retaining wall to get to this amazing rock bed protecting the harbor. The tide was high and the waves were crashing over the wall! And subsequently over MY HEAD! Literally. I looked like a wet rat. Thank God my camera is still functioning! Anyway, this is our adventure…

I thought I would spread some Valentine’s Day inspiration your way. This is our Valentine card this year… with our first photo of our precious baby! Almost all of our family lives out of the state, so this is a great way to share with them our news in a fridge-friendly card. Valentine’s Day has long been one of my favorite holidays. If you don’t know the story behind the holiday, click here for the heart warming tale. Happy Friday!

I met this little one when he wasn’t even born yet! I have had the joy of following this family from pregnancy to birth and now to over one year old. He was one of the most beautiful newborns… and  now he is delightful and was making us all laugh! At the end he was getting a bit hungry and when dad brought out the pretzel box he got the greatest expression on his face (last photo). Just adorable I think.

P.S. Contest coming up in the next two weeks for a place in my workshop (more details to come)!

I wish I had written down where this pretty letterpress baby announcement came from. It’s absolutely gorgeous! I’ll keep looking and let you know… I noticed that lately I am  using a lot of pink in my posts… I hope it is not premonitions of our baby’s gender. Obviously we will be thrilled either way, but I am not so secretly dreaming of a son!

1. Arcona is an organic skincare line that not only works, but smells like heaven. A must have for making me feel like a goddess during my ‘me time’

2. Bellybars are an awesome pregnant snack for an  on-the-run belly filler. I always have one in my bag for those busy days (which are getting more frequent lately!)

3. Jellycat is just the best and softest stuffed animal I have ever seen. The snowleopard? Irresistible and is now waiting for baby in the nursery!

4. The day after I took the pregnancy test I finally went to Victoria Secret for a fix to my sore beauties. The Body by Victoria was so perfect I wore it out with a huge (and audible) sigh of relief… the other customers must have wondered what I was doing in the dressing room! It’s the perfect pregnancy bra.

5. Bananas. I think I ate two a day for about three or four weeks. They are the perfect food to calm the tummy and keep up the blood sugar!

6. J.Crew basic tanks are the easiest layering piece, and I will be able to wear them for months to come! I stocked up on these babies in every color…

7. This book is a must have for those of you who want to eat healthy the natural way. Learn how to eat right for your baby and cook right for your kids!

**I also want to write a quick thank you to all my January clients… it has been the BUSIEST month of my photography career! Lots of mamas, lots of newborns and some delicious little ones. Sneak peeks from January will continue this week… with four sessions to edit in the meantime. So THANK YOU for letting me do what I love! And I look forward to those I will meet this month and beyond.

My sample Signature Coffee Table Album has finally arrived and it is beyond stunning! I have researched album companies for the last year and have finally found the one I love. The pages have a slight linen texture but are thick and rich, the cover is smooth and waterproof and the image quality is gorgeous! These albums are part of the DUO+ Collection, but can also be purchases a la carte with your session. I hope you are drooling as much as I am…. I can’t wait to make one for my own newborn!

This little newborn girl is such a sweet beauty! Her red hair and little lips just melted my heart. Her gorgeous mama has the most beautiful pink couture nursery for her. And the diamond starfish was the perfect touch. I love the last photo with mama, it is one of my new favorites… This family is so delightful! I got to do her pregnancy portraits and now she has finally arrived. I have the best job in the world…

This newborn session was done outside at a lake in Santa Barbara county… absolutely beautiful day and such a creamy newborn! He was so good the whole time, almost posing himself for these amazing photos. I always am delighted when I can catch a newborn smile and yawn… they are tricky and happen almost like a twitch during a dream. I loved that this mama was not afraid to take her newborn session into the gorgeous outdoors. This mama is also a recipient of a COMPLIMENTARY Obrien & Schridde frame in my January giveaway!
