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

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!

CAMMI & WES / ORANGE COUNTY CHILDRENS PHOTOGRAPHER

LOVED working with these two cuties!!! Cammi is such the perfect model, with those big beautiful eyes. And sweet Wes had us entertained the whole time, while the trains kept him very entertained the whole time!! Cammi loves playing dress up, so it was really just about finding the perfect outfit to suite her tastes! And since Wes loves his big sister so much, he wanted to do everything the Cammi got to do! These two cutie pies even had matching blue toe nails, compliments of Cammi's beautiful polish decorating. Turns out Cammi is also a budding photographer and also captured a few pictures of me on our adventure together! We also found a lady bug along the way, which really sparked their interests. The day ended with delicious cupcakes and two sugar filled kiddies!! SO MUCH FUN!!

We photographed Cammi and Wes at our studio and on location in downtown San Juan Capistrano. All clothes compliments of Mac and Madi's Children's Boutique in San Clemente. If you haven't been to Mac & Madi's, it's well worth the trip down the Del Mar strip towards the beach. Make it a day of fun for you & a friend with a trip to the beach, followed by lunch at our favorite restaurant, Nick's and a little shopping a few doors down at Mac & Madi's.

Cammi & Wes...

 

Waitin' for the train.

This image was inspired by a photograph that was taken of my Great Grandfather photographing my Grandmother on the beach when she was 3 years old. His love of photography has continued down the generations to my father and on to me...

My inspiration....

Future photog.....

Too much.

Love him!

Found a lady bug!

America's Next Top Model.

Fun at the Caboose.

 

WES: "TRAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNN......"

ME... compliments of Cammi (and Nana ;-))
