San Diego Newborn Photography, Featuring Baby Claire

in , , , , ,

This is an extra special shoot for me because not only is Mariah one of my childhood friends, I also had the privilege of shooting her and her husband Scott's engagement photos AND wedding photos.  I'm the lucky one.  They are like family to me and my children.  I feel so lucky to call them my neighbors now too.  (Okay, they are five minutes away, but neighbors to me!)  Kudos to Scott and Mariah for being great new parents.  I'm so proud of them both.

Congrats to Scott and Mariah.  Your sweet baby girl is a doll.

 Welcome to world Claire.  We love you.

p.s. Their dog Briley is used to playing the starring role, so she of course will still play a big part in all our shoots.  :)

Grandma Cook was on hand of course.  Loved having her around!

Monday Marion with Maui Rose

in ,

Marion (pronounced Marrrrryyyy-own in my best french accent) is absolutely stunning.  I LOVED doing this shoot because I always knew how beautiful this french darling was.  She is just one of those people that wears pregnancy VERY well.  I think this was literally days before she gave birth to her third precious baby.  (Yep.  Third.)  Marion owns and designs the incredible cool line of beach bags called "Maui Rose."  You can contact Maui Rose here.

Do you feel my "Out of Africa" vibe here?

Maui Family Photographer. The Elyas Family from Canada

Finally.  I blogged!  It's been awhile and I apologize!  I'm back in action and am ready to blog away!  Hope 2012 is treating everyone fabulously!  I'm super happy to be blogging this great family from Canada.  Enjoy!

What a doll.

I had the pleasure of shooting Matthew and Chanelle Alvarado's new baby (sort of new, he's 6 weeks old) "Mikael" (pronounced Mik-Ale).  What a sweetie.  He was a delight and had THE most beautiful olive toned skin.  I'm really proud of Mommy and Daddy.  They are babies themselves at 21 years old and are handling being new parents with such grace and beauty.  It's always nerve wracking shooting for a photographer, let alone one as talented as Matthew.  Thanks for giving in and finally letting me shoot him.  He's going to have an amazing life with you as parents.

Welcome to the world Mikael.
