Family Photoshoot in Humboldt

I LOVE this shoot! These girls are sooooo cute! They remind me of the modern "Little House on the Prairie" girls. I love the wholesomeness of this shoot. It is very rustic and natural, showcasing the expressions and connection between the members of the family. This is somewhat of a destination shoot, considering I let people know when and where I will be traveling and get to do shoots wherever I visit. So this shoot was shot in a front yard in Humboldt County, Northern California. This is what you can expect from most park or nature shoots.

Senior Pictures in Orange County

I LOVE doing senior pictures, fashion, and headshots. It gives me an opportunity to really be creative and have fun shooting. Unlike weddings, I am not under the pressure and timeline doing senior or fashion shoots, so I get to take my time in a different way and be more thoughtful and calculated when shooting. I don't have a gallery dedicated to this yet on my website, so I wanted to blog a recent senior photo shoot. Senior shoots should represent the teenagers last 4 years of life in high school, and showcase who they really are. I like to show the "sophisticated" teen, the "realistic" teen, and the "talented" teen in one shoot. With Viktoria we headed to downtown Orange to do her 3 part shoot. She was cute, fun, beautiful, and also a ballerina. I wanted to show all of this in her shoot. She wanted to wear a dress and be cute, where casual clothes for a more comfy realistic look, and some ballet shots as her last 4 years of high school have revolved around dancing. Congrats Viktoria on your Graduation and welcome to the "real" world! :)

Orange County Triplets

I had the opportunity to shoot my first set of triplets. A lot harder then getting one baby to smile is trying to get 3 babies to smile, or look your way. These babies are 6 months old, wish I would have gotten to them in the 1st week or two, but hard to do when they are in the hospital for months being preemies. I recommend the first or second week for new baby shoots, they are easier to mold and work with and do a lot of shrinking inwards. I do not do the Anne Geddes type baby pics (although I like it), instead I do simple and more raw work with babies and families, showing the relationship and everyday moments. I especially love the faces that older babies make and love what I got on this shoot. Hope they make you smile, as I edited them I think I laughed out loud on a few! They are scrumptious!
