THE MANY FACES OF NIKOLAJIS / SAN CLEMENTE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Such a fun studio photography session with Momma-to-be (again :-)) Jennifer, Dad Jeff & their son, who we've named "the many faces of" Nik (Nikolajis is foreign spelling for Nicholas- how cool is that!), see below... So blessed to meet them! Jeff is currently serving for our country, and for that we are very grateful! Thanks Jennifer for bringing your wonderful family to us! Here are a few sneak peeks....

Just a few of the many faces of Nik....

LILY'S TURNING TWO!

We had a blast this morning with Sweet Little Lily and her Big Brother "Super" Henry! We are overjoyed when children come to the studio and right away feel right at home! And Lily spared no article unturned, finding all of our favorite props and goodies to play with... our vintage umbrellas have been quite a hit this summer... uh, so much for not opening umbrellas inside- glad I don't believe in bad luck! :-)

Here are a few sneak peeks from their session!

Thank you Mom (Alisa) for sharing your beautiful children with us!

What a joy to have such happy, beautiful children. The pics are so wonderful and so natural. I will certainly keep this handy. If one ever feels down all you need is a quick view of the joy and innocence that they have captured in these pics. Thank you for sharing, Love, Cheri

REFLECTIONS OF GRACE

We are so proud to help Jeff & Silvia announce and welcome sweet Baby Grace, just 10 days young. Grace is the sweetest little peanut, a graceful beauty, and pretty much slept right through her entire session, allowing us the ability to capture some of our favorite poses. They also brought some awesome props- including the cutest knit bunny ears hat and bunny tail bottoms, plus Jeff's fireman's gear!

CONGRATULATIONS JEFF & SILVIA!

 

A sleepy peanut...

Too cute...

Pure Love....

Ready for a Fire...

Sweet Dreams...

 

We can't express enough how much easier it is to capture some of these very popular and well loved poses when the babies are very young (we prefer 2 weeks and younger). They sleep more soundly and are still used to being all curled up in the womb. We take very special care of all of our inGRACE babies and never put your baby in harms way. We are always paying very close attention and supporting the muscles in the baby's neck, never pushing a baby to do something that would make them uncomfortable. Majority of the time we have at least 2 spotters- usually Mark and "Dad" on either side (which I have to say, is a beautiful site to experience). Mom usually gets to sit back and relax, since when the baby smells Mom she/he thinks it's time to wake up and eat again. :-) We are always here to answer any questions you may have about our newborn experience.

I liked a lot all the photos, I'm from Spain and here is not usually to do this kind of albums for babys. I think it is a great idea!

Marta  commented on  September 18th, 2011

What a lovely little bunny!

SARAH & KATE / ORANGE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

Although it took them an hour and a half to get to the studio in the middle of the Blackout, that didn't stop the William's girls (Mom included!!) from making it to their portrait session with us in downtown San Juan Capistrano. Lucky for us, we were the only business in the neighborhood that was able to actually stay open- well for shooting purposes anyway! :-) We had a fun putting together their outfits in the half dark studio ... by the time we were finished with their session they were collecting their things by candlelight and an iPhone Flashlight App. Talk about commitment!!! :-) Thank you Amy, Sarah and Kate!! You Rock!

Here are a few sneak peeks from their Session...

FAMILY PORTRAITS MISSION SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO / ORANGE COUNTY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Meet the incredible Sisneros Family!! What a beautiful family both inside and out!! We had so much fun photographing their family portrait session at the Historic Mission yesterday in downtown San Juan Capistrano. The textures and architecture of the Mission create such gorgeous backdrops, beautiful lighting, and endless possibilities. We have a fantastic special about to launch for our Fall Family Portraits so please keep your eyes peeled!!

If you are thinking about booking a session at the Mission, a few things to keep in mind with the kids heading back to school.... The Mission is open from 8:30am - 5pm daily. Booking a session during the week is great whenever possible because there are less people on the grounds, giving more flexibility for shooting locations. Also, scheduling your session as early or later in the day is best, for lighting, and also for less people. Due to the time constraints we will only be able to book a limited amount of sessions at the Mission. We encourage you to book your session as early as possible. This also gives you time and flexibility if you are thinking of using any of your images to have us create custom holiday cards for you! It might seem early to start thinking about holiday cards, but we all how quickly this time of year comes us and suddenly it's mid-December and we're thinking "What happened to 2011?" :-)

Fall Sessions are already booking, so give us a call today to check availability!

And anyone calling in to book their session early will also get a chance to hear about and take advantage of our Fall Special!

PLAYTIME GOES VINTAGE / ORANGE COUNTY CHILDRENS PHOTOGRAPHER

Check out these three ultra cutie patooties - Emma, Addison and Liam. Each of them have such individually unique personalities, which shined through them. However, when it came to playing with our props on their photo shoot they all chose the same props... thank goodness we had three of each of everything they chose!!! Phew! :-) They went for some fun by the train in downtown San Juan Capistrano with our vintage suitcases, vintage umbrellas and of course, pearls!! Doesn't every photo shoot need a set of pearls? Emma has the most sparkly blue eyes that are just so beautiful. And sweet Addison was very specific about what she was going the wear for the photo shoot, including her yellow scarf and hat... making sure that I did not leave out photographing her little blue rose on her favorite sweater.

Thanks to Momma Amy for bringing your beautiful little souls down to play with us and let us capture them at this excited time in their (and your) lives!
