Renee

Today was defiantly an adventure. It all started at 8:30 this morning. I dropped off Tristan at daycare then headed over to Renee's house to pick her up so we could go take her pictures. She had been asking me for awhile to do her photos, gosh I haven't really taken any photos of Renee since high school, she was my model for photography class.
I never considered that living in California is a desert and that summer time the landscape is not pretty, no flowers are in bloom, everything is brown and dead. So after going to 3 different parks in 3 different part of towns we ended getting some photos at a Wilderness Park in Laguna then headed down to the beach. I took so many photos and Renee changed her outfit 3 times so each outfit change will reflect a new post.

Thanks Renne I had a blast today!

Renee's Beach Photos

Here are Renee's beach photos. What a beautiful day. Chanel 7 news was at the beach talking about how Laguna is one of the best beaches on the coast. We were on the news, actually the beach that we were at was on the 4:00 news today not us.

Yes she got totally soaked!

Renee's Park Pictures

Here are Renee's pictures we took at a small park in Irvine/Costa Mesa. The two cities are so close together I never know which city I'm actually in. I saw this balloon idea on another blog only she used blue and pink balloons for a maternity photo shoot by Drew B. You can check out her work at http://www.momtog.com/ It was fun except hard to photograph upclose because my reflection was in the balloon. There were a bunch of little kids that wanted the balloons so after we were done using them in the photos Renee gave them to the kids, they were do happy.

Thanks again Renne I had a lot of fun!

Fuller Family

What a beauitful day it was to take some photos down by the beach. My friend Monica asked me to do her family photos and she wanted a sunset setting so we headed down to Laguna Beach. Another photographer showed me this place about a week ago where I shadowed her photo session. I held up the sun shade and it was nice to see how another photographer works. Her work is amazing and you can check her out at http://christinegomezphotography.com

Thanks Fuller Family!

Heather & Payton

Today I went to visit my good friend Heather and her daughter Payton. I have not seen them since Kadin's 1st birthday party back in April. We missed Payton's 2nd birthday party because we were in Florida so I brought Payton's gift with me. I made her a tutu and she absoutly loved it. It fit her perfectly and she loved wearing it. While I was at Heather's I got to take some maternity photos for her. I am going to have to do more in her 9th month, right now she is only 6 months along and still so small, wish I had her body when I was pregnant. She looked great and I can't wait to do more maternity photos of her.

Thanks Heather and Payton!

Just some more photos of Heather being pregnant.

Lane Family

My friend Shannon who I met from a mommy and me group asked me to take some photos of her and her family. They only have had studio shots and wanted a beach location for their family photos. I did not realize at the time how sunny it actually was until looking at their photos and noticed a lot of squinting. Sorry guys, I will be more prepared next time. All in all it was a nice day at the beach. Madison was a good sport but I could tell she was very tired.

Thanks Lane Family!
