A spring fling for three lucky sisters!

This party designed by Beijos Events was brimming with adorable details and fun activities for both the kiddos and parents a like.

Everything from a petting zoo from Little Horse on the Prairie, slime making with Create and Celebrate Kids and gorgeous craft cocktails for the parents by West Beverage.

The three birthday girls all had the time of their lives as you can see from all the happy smiles!

A Dolly Parton party for twin 8 year olds!

This adorable Dolly Parton themed party is the 5th party I’ve photographed for this sweet family. The Beijos Events team designed and planned this one ( as well as the others! ) and I think this one is my favorite one yet. “What would Dolly do?”… well she would throw a party at a horse ranch in Orange County, serve adorable sweet treats, pizza and drinks. Have multiple craft tables and of course horse back riding too! “It’s hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world” but Stella and Charlotte and all their lucky friends managed to pull it off!

Let the kids play!

Letting the kids play, letting the kids be silly and letting the kids get wet and sandy is always a fun idea! Sometimes it’s ok to relax on the rules during a session and let the kids be kids. The smiles will be natural and the moments genuine. Sure there will be moments of madness but it always works out in the end.

Family portraits in the park

This sweet family have been with me for awhile now… ever since Mama was pregnant with little sister! At this point they feel like friends and I look forward to our sessions together each time. Here’s a few of my favorites from their most recent gallery.

Welcoming Baby Brother

I’ve been photographing the Edwards family for a while now and was so happy to be able to capture this time when littlest baby brother was so itty bitty.

New clients often have many questions about how many images come with my different session packages and I wanted to show an example of a client’s top 15. Out of the 100 + that were on the gallery these are this family’s personal favorites.

There’s always the option to purchase additional images with my sessions but the 15 retouched high resolution images that come with a newborn session are often the perfect amount.
