A magical session. Hanford Baby photographer

This 1 year old was very active and curious, as to be expected... but words cannot describe how very magical this session was. The images we captured are ALL amazing, perhaps it is because he is so stinkin' cute?

Mommy Matters

I have been anxious to announce some very exciting news to all of you, and I cannot hold back any longer... In the next few weeks I will be putting up a permanent art display of my photography inside Mommy Matters!

For those of you that do not already know, Mommy Matters is a wonderful resource for the Fresno community offering classes and products to educate and prepare mom physically and emotionally before and after baby’s arrival.

There are support groups available for mom and dad, as well as free workshops and forums to help answer those questions you can't get answered at the doctor’s office. They also have playgroups, Mommy & Me Yoga, prenatal massage, breastfeeding support and Lamaze classes taught by the only certified Lamaze instructor in Fresno.

Mommy Matters also has a lending library stocked with books, magazines, CD’s and DVD’s offering practical and reliable help available free to their members. Their products for body and home are free of harsh chemicals and they also carry a variety of maternity and baby clothing, nursing bras, baby slings, and many more hard to find unique mommy items.

If you have not done so already, please take some time to stop by the NE Corner of Champlain and Perrin to find out what resources will help you on your journey as a mommy!

Beach Baby. Santa Cruz Baby Photographer

My trip to Santa Cruz on Saturday was short, and so sweet. This birthday girl was beyond excited that we were at the beach; a true "Beach Baby" wanting to jump in the water and eat sand. Although it was foggy and misty making the ocean look drab, the lighting was a photographers dream for portraits! Between the beautiful lighting and enthusiastic subject, our session together lasted just under and hour and almost every single shot was a keeper.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for choosing me to photograph your precious granddaughter, this past year has been a pleasure!

Here is her year in review at 1 year, 9 months, 3 months, and 20 days

Twins, Wonderful Twins! Creative Twin Photographer

I could not hold my excitement back until Monday, I had to show you a quick preview of the wonderful images we captured today of these two little darlings. Brother and Sister are only 11 day old and were easier to work with than most single babies I photograph!

The Perfect Baby. Fresno Artistic Baby Photographer

At 2 months old I was not sure if this little angel would cooperate. To my suprise, she slept solid for over an hour letting us maneuver her however we wished without much more than a little peep. Together, Mom and I created some of my favorite and most original images to date. Mom, thank you for your wonderful team work, beautiful home, and having the perfect baby!

Tomorrow is my big day with the twins I have been looking so forward to. Right after the session I am off to Visalia for a friends baby shower and then taking off for the weekend to Santa Cruz for another session.  Check back next week for some more exciting postings.

Introducing...

Whew, what an extremely overwhelmingly busy 2 weeks this has been for me, and I still have 3 more photo sessions this week along with a mountain of photos to work on. This baby boom has really put me behind on my computer time... but don't worry Moms, I am working night and day to get to your requests.

I have been going non-stop forgetting to introduce my new lovely assistant to you. Meet Miss Christy, a degreed Artist and aspiring portrait photographer. She has been training with me for two weeks now and is quickly learning the ropes. She has already began attending photo sessions with me, and has been a great help with all the behind the scene things that I have needed to catch up on.

Thanks Christy for all your help and newfound friendship!

Peace like a river. Artistic Baby Photographer

Meet this 10 week old pearl. What a real jewel she is for the entire family, being the first grandchild on both sides.

Special Delivery. Merced newborn photographer

Although I am not a big fan of driving far, the trip to Merced to photograph this handsome 5 day old was more than worth it. This image of baby "W" in his Great Great Great Great Grandma's doll bed is a true treasure to both the family and I.

Less than 3 weeks to go! Fresno Maternity Photographer

This was a my 3rd maternity session in 1 week, WOW. Where there is bellies, babies soon follow... and this mommy is due the soonest.

She is a good friend of one of my best friends, and I can see why. I had a great time with these future parents!  Thanks for the referral Lisa, now I have a new set of friends too.  And take a look at these double bellies. Mom's cousin who has just 6 weeks to go came over for some memorable twin tummy shots, how cute are they!

Little Bundle. Clovis Baby Photographer.

I have been extremely busy with the summer Baby Boom photographing 6 newborn babies in the past two weeks, not to mention the newborn twins I get to meet on Friday. Keep checking back, there is much more to come!

This Mommy has been patiently waiting to see her little man's big debut... and here he is, as sweet as can be.  Welcome to the world baby "L". 

Sweet 6 weeks. Lifestyle Baby Photographer Fresno

This little lady was born a surprising 4 weeks early, so she is still as pliable and sleepy as a newborn. Making 'baby art' with her was so easy, and dad was having fun finding some wonderfully creative ways to hold her.  Thank you for inviting me into your home!

Expecting. Fresno Pregnancy Photographer

This was another memorable maternity session. Time flew by as we had fun joking around and finding fun poses with mommy's belly. Just one more month to go before meeting their little boy!

I constantly receive compliments on the mommy draped in the red cloth on my website, and many mothers have wanted to try it with their belly.  The cloth went missing back in February, and just yesterday I was able to obtain a replacement... so Mom's, the red cloth is back and open for all to try!

New Love. Clovis Newborn Photographer

Meet sweet little baby boy 'C'. He was a charm, and his two big sisters were so much fun to play with during the photo session. And boy is he loved! Sisters would not stop kissing him every chance they got. 

An Amazing Mother. Fresno Maternity Photographer

I must say I am very lucky to have some of the best clients around, and this couple from yesterday was no exception.  This mother is pregnant with her 5th child and is as beautiful as ever. What a great belly she has as well as a wonderful disposition.  I enjoyed every moment we spent together and cannot wait to meet #5 next month.

Young Wisdom. Fresno Infant Photographer

This little 5 day old simply would not sleep for me... he was so calm and inquisitive making him a joy to photograph even awake. He seemed to not want to miss a moment of his big photo day. His awake images turned out wonderful, and he definitely holds the record for the best eye contact of a newborn I have ever photographed. 

No newborn ever escapes the temptation of sleep, and I was still able to capture the classic sweet sleepy images I am always after.

Baby Skin

I photographed this little guy when he was only 2 weeks old... what seems like yesterday has actually been 7 months. He is now a crawling machine, making keeping up with this little explorer all the more challenging.  Mom wanted him to be photographed against black to show off is beautiful bare skin, and not only did we accomplish that, but we captured his sweet smile and sparkling eyes too.  

Here is baby boy with older brother and sister.  For all of you that have my business card, you should recognize big sister as the green eyed beauty smiling on the back.
