Sweet 16 Party With Photo Booth.

So This fun event happened at the end of last year and yes its just going up on the blog! I had a real slow down here for a while and now Im playing catch up......well with the blog anyway! 

Ashley had an amazing Sweet 16 complete with a fun Photo Booth (set up by little ol me!) a candy bar and a glow in the dark dance party! What more could you ask for??? The kids had a great time, Ashley was beautiful and it was in all a complete success! 

Redlands, Yucaipa Baby Photographer.

Hey guys, I know I have been MIA on the blogging. Its not that i have not had shoots its just that this photography thing (oh the thing i loooove the most!) is really a part time thing for me.....hopefully not forever, but at the moment it is, so between looking for a new job that pays more and gives better/more hours I have been a busy busy girl. However I wanted to share my last two baby shoots with you guys because lets face it....babies are the cutest!!! And lets face it, i get the cutest ones!!! Proof is in the pudding.....so here you go, Exhibit A & B! 

Look and the beautiful brunette, blue eyed babe and babette! Meet Karson and Averie. Their mommies came to me by referral and how glad I am to have photographed them both! 

Thank you Amy Carter-Smith and Robyn Bedolla for bringing me these friends of yours. You two are the most loyal clients I have (since the beginning of me picking up a camera...both of them!) Blessed am I! 

First up, little Miss Averie!

And Gorgeous little man, Karson!

Ready, Set......Smash!  Cake Smash / 1st Birthday photos!

There is an ever increasing trend in baby photography right not called Cake Smash Portraits. Its basically baby's first birthday photos but add in a yummy, colorful, frosting covered cake. What do we do with that cake....well, with camera ready to shoot the impending mess, we give it to baby of coarse!!!  As milestone session and its quite the big deal!! The outcome of every session is different of coarse and sometimes we have smiles and big messes and sometimes we have tears.....yes, tears! You never know what your gonna get till it happens.

Let me introduce you to Hailey. This sweet, happy, blue eyed beauty is near and dear to my heart. Her mamma is my friend and very close to our Arial family. I was so excited when Becky (mamma) allowed me to shoot Hailey baby's first portrait and cake smash session. It was something I have so wanted to try and when I have never done a certain type of session I usually offer it to a close friend or family member first to give it a go...here is the outcome of my experiment with a Cake Smash Portrait Session!

 

Randomness......

So sometimes it helps when Im not too busy to go out and shoot random things.....just stuff. Its something I really should do more often. It can help me improve and keep up my technical and even more creative skills. It helps when as photographers we can "see" the world a little differently.....hard to explain. My really good friend and mentor Daniel told me to do this one day when I was trying to figure out what to so with my day and on Facebook he said "Take the camera out and go shoot." Well when your mentor tells you to do something.....you should do it! lol! I didn't have a lot of time and couldn't really wander to too many places so I was stuck close to home and so this is what I came home with that day.
