Hello, Simon ~ Riverside Newborn Photographer

When my friend, Leslie, asked me to photograph her upcoming birth I could not have been more excited. It would be my first and I really didn't know what to expect, but I knew it would be an incredible experience. The day finally arrived and I was so glad I was able to make it there. I had the opportunity to be there for her labor, but the baby had other plans for the actual delivery, stillsuch an awesome experience!

I finally got to meet little Simon (a.k.a. Burt Reynolds) on Thanksgiving day. He is such a sweetie and I can definitely see a little bit of his big brother in him. Leslie & Roy, thanks so much for letting me be a part of Simon's birth, I am so happy for you! I'm looking forward to lots of play dates with these boys :)

Finally Fall ~ Riverside Family Photographer

Last Saturday was a windy day (gotta love those Santa Anas in the fall...) and I was afraid it would make my session with the W family difficult. We did just fine and Miss J had a blast! She is just the cutest little thing! She also has the same move as my little monster - running with the tongue out, love it :)

Lots of Love ~ Riverside Family Photographer

This weekend I once again headed over to my new favorite location for a family session. I wasn't sure how we were gonna do with the three kids, but they were so good and full of smiles - and they all have the same gorgeous blue eyes! They had a ton of fun running around the park.
B & D - enjoy your preview - you have such a beautiful family!

And a preview of Bailey and my niece Maddie - they had a mini BFF photo session :)

So Full of Life ~ Riverside Family Photographer

I'm about to vacate my house for a few days and wanted to post the M Family a sneak peek before I go. This session was so full of laughter! We didn't get very many posed shots, but I love the way they turned out. These kids have some energy and keep mom and dad very busy! They are such fun happy kids and you can definitely feel the love they all have for eachother. Enjoy!!

Cousin Love ~ Riverside Family Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of doing a session with some adorable kids. These 4 are cousins and it's easy to see that they love hanging out together. They made me (and their parents) work for some of these, but it was definitely worth it - and it counts as a workout, right?

Soon to be Family of 4 ~ Riverside Family Photographer

Gosh I love little boys, and Mr. Zach was no exception. He warmed up to me quick and we had a great time. He was so full of smiles! So were his mom and dad :) Such a fun family to hang out with, and photogenic too if I may say so. I bet the new addition will be too, I can't wait to meet her!
