A Turns Two: Southern California Child Photographer

I did an adorable session the other week, actually it was like two sessions in one, of a pretty little girl turning 2 and a handsome little boy almost 5. I will probably blog their sessions separate so that the post is not a mile long!

So here is miss Aubrey a few days before her second birthday. What a precious cutie am I right! I have to tell you she was a little hard to get to smile she was looking at me like I was crazy as I made weird noises and faces to get her to smile. At least I was able to get a few out of her. Either way she is just too adorable.

We had enough time after their separate sessions to do some shots together and what a cute pair they are!

The Princess and the Frog: Southern California Child Photographer

A few months back I had the idea to buy a pretty sparkly dress for my daughter and take princess pictures of her in a forest. I got the dress, she had the crown and we were ready to go. Lately I haven't been too stressed to find the "perfect" location because I am learning it isn't about the location, but rather the subject, theme, lighting, mood, and composition. The location is only a small part of the photo and I am also learning how to use a small location and make it beautiful. These were taken in my front yard! Seriously. My front yard is nothing to really look at, but at the right angle I was able to give the illusion of a forest. The frog was an after thought and something I added in right before we went outside to shoot. Then, the princess and the frog photo series was born.
 This is just the start of my fairy tale series. I want to photograph other little girls as all the other princesses in an outdoor setting to create beautiful and magical images. If you are interested in booking me for these or any other of your family photos please contact me 760-885-5667.
Thank you!

 This is the first one I edited and then I thought I'd put some wings on her to see how it looked. I think I like it :)
