Whittier Baby Photography - { Welcome to the world Avery! }

So this post is kinda late...who whoulda thought that having a baby, and working all the time would push a few things back? ;)... but better late than never right?

Tracy is a fellow photographer, who takes beautiful photos! Over the past year, Tracy and I have become good friends, and I have absolutely loved watching her little baby bump grow. She is such a beautiful woman already, but she just looked so radiant carrying little Avery in her belly. But I have to say; I sure love Avery more now that she’s on the outside! ;)

Tracy and I both went to the same obstetrician, delivered at the same hospital, and now our babies are both seeing the same pediatrician. So it’s pretty exciting to share our experiences and go through all of this (pretty much) at the same time. I think it’s such a special thing to share! :)

I stopped in for a super quick visit at the hospital to see Tracy , her husband, and brand new beautiful baby girl – and snapped a few pictures while I was there!
Here are some of my favorites:

Dana's sweet mother passed away, so she had this perfect sunflower sitting in her moms place.
Such a beautiful sentiment.

Jordan is 5 months old!

Jordan is five months old! Its crazy how fast it has gone so far - we have had a lot of learning experiences and SO much fun! Sean made this sweet video to show just a few of them, and some fun moments so far.
I just love that you can see him growing so much through the video clips.

Enjoy! :)

A sweet day of mini portrait sessions!

So this past weekend we had our very first holiday mini sessions! It went fantastic, and we could not have asked for any more beautiful weather!

I have always strayed away from mini sessions in the past – because I hate to limit my clients with time. I know that some times kids have their own agenda for the day, and some times naps and feedings just can’t wait. So usually, I show up to a portrait session, hang out with the kids for a while (so we are buddies and having fun together), then just take pictures till I feel like I have everything I want. But with mini sessions, we are on a bit of a time restraint since the next family will be showing up ready for their photo time. I did give myself a good buffer luckily…but I still very much wish I had more time to hang out with these super sweet families! But I am excited to say that we did pretty great with our limited amount of time! :)

Here are just a few of my favorites! :


First up : Shyla, Allen , Allen Jr, and Kaia
