It was just a couple of months ago that I took photos of baby Drake while he was still in his mama’s belly (Sommer’s Maternity Photos). Okay, that sounds wrong, but you know what I mean. Now he’s here! Tatum is a wonderful older sister and was a gem for the camera (during the maternity photos she was quite camera shy….exactly the opposite this time!)

Jeff & Sommer – congrats on your new addition! What a perfect little family!

This one made me laugh out loud when I saw it. Bored, much? haha. I can assure you that this photo session was far from boring which is why I think this one is so cute :)

I have been in Riverside for nearly 3 weeks now, and while still very busy, not actually shooting much. I’ve been behind the computer editing wedding photos, a couple of portrait sessions and designing albums. We really only know one family down here and bless their hearts, they’ve been doing a great job of entertaining us! So, when my photography itch got especially bad, I emailed my friend and asked to do a few photos of her 2 year old daughter, Cambria. We went to Irvine Park in Orange and Amy insisted that I bring my son (who, while adorable, is a hindrance to my photo taking. haha) I felt bad keeping Reid away from a zoo and park, so I brought him with me. It was a hot day, the kids were hungry and only interested in playing on the jungle gym. I managed to pull Cambria aside for a few moments and snagged these shots. I’m not kidding, I had her for maybe 3 minutes before it was back to the playground and we called it a day. I was pleasantly surprised with what I came up with in such a short time, and of course, major kudos to Cambria for being a willing subject! Talk about a successful “mini session”!

I photographed this great family back when I was just starting out. The boys did such a great job this time and even the little one would smile for me if I asked really nicely :) These were taken around 7pm at the Jensen Botanical Garden in Carmichael. Lots of fun natural light for photography!

Ashton was just 5 days old when I photographed him. I have known his mom for a while and had the chance to do his older sister’s 1 year old smashcake photos last year. Ashton’s mom and dad are excellent parents and I don’t know how they handle a toddler and an infant so well! My baby fever comes and gos, but it definitely flared up after these newborn and family photos!
