Cecilia's 1st Birthday ~ Lodi Baby Photographer

Cecilia was one of my sweet little newborns and I had the pleasure of doing her maternity session when she was still in the belly! I haven't seen her since she was just a few weeks old so seeing her at 1 year again was SUCH a joy! She was very serious that day but holy moly was she just gorgeous. Her mom & dad also mentioned that Cecilia really loved dogs so I brought my little chihuahua Leonidas (Leo) along to share some cake with her. They were both very delicate with her cake but shared so nicely and really loved each other! Here are just a few highlights of our session together!

Baby Aubrey ~ Lathrop Newborn Photographer

I never can quite get over the joy that I get to experience when I capture a family during their maternity session and I later get that text that their sweet baby has finally arrived. It's this connection I get to create with a family that means the world to me and I feel an instant connection to baby as soon as he or she comes Earth-side! 

Sweet little Aubrey was no exception. That text message of her sweet little face just moments after her arrival absolutely made my heart sing knowing she and mama were safe and that I would soon get to meet her since seeing her in the belly. She was just the sweetest little girl and the first girl to the family so it was so fun to celebrate her and put some majorly girly twists on her session like big flowers and lots of pink! 

Check out this beautiful girl:

Adeline's 1st Birthday ~ Lodi Baby Photographer

Well, I can't even believe it but an entire year has flown by since I've gotten to capture this gorgeous girl and here she is celebrating her first birthday! Mom and dad opted for a mini session instead of the traditional cake smash and we got lucky enough to capture the last of the fall leaves in one my favorite places to photograph. Those oranges are just to die for! I am so sad that I have to wait a whole year to get that glow again. Check out sweet Adeline and all her sweetness!

2017 Wrap Up ~ Lodi Newborn Photographer

Well! It's been quite a year! These are only some of the sessions that I had the honor of capturing this year! Clearly blogging has not been my forte this year (New Years resolution much??! haha!) but I just had to make sure I at least posted this so you were able to see how wonderful this year has truly been! 

Not only have I had the honor of capturing growing bellies but getting to watch them bloom into a little person never ceases to amaze me. I can't decide if that's my favorite part of this job or my Milestone Package. Watching each baby grow at 4 months, 8 months, and 12 months is just SO fun. Every time I think they've grown just a little, I go back and look at that first session and my mind is blown! The changes these little people go through in such a short amount of time during that first year is part of the reason I love doing the package so much! It makes sure that you don't miss a beat and you're able to have this growth documented in the most fun way! 

It's hard to believe that the year is over but I am so excited to see what 2018 holds!

XOXO

Finley's 8 month milestone ~ Lodi Baby photographer

Sweet little Finley - I don't even know how to describe how attached to this beautiful boy I am! His 8 month milestone was his third session with me to date and it has been such an honor to watch him grow! He started out such a tiny little peanut and every time I see him, he is just bursting in sweet personality. 

His last session was in a dead grass field so we decided to change it up to some cherry orchards and my famous gorgeous Sycamore driveway. I can't wait to see him at his one year session! 

Baby Giavanna ~ Escalon Newborn Photographer

Welcome to the world, sweet Giavanna! 

One day, I received a call from a very excited Grandma who couldn't wait to surprise her daughter with a newborn session for her brand new baby. Just hearing her excitement for the new addition on the phone made me excited, too! As soon as Bianca and James brought their beautiful newborn into the studio, I could see why there was so much love all around. Not only were they such a sweet couple but their little girl was just beyond darling and she was an awesome little model! 

It warmed my heart watching them watch her as I posed and moved her into different props that incorporated the colors that they loved and that matched their home. I love when parents have something sentimental they'd like incorporated into their session and this little family was no exception! Bianca brought in an adorable big flowered headband for a few shots that just made us all giggle with glee when we put it on her. James brought in a bonnet
