Logan & Kira

I finally found some time to photograph my own little one's! It was spur of the moment as I usually am with them. Never can "plan" out these things, yet just go with the flow if an opportunity arises. These are the faces behind my photography passion. They are the reason I decided to move forward and learn what I can to "Create Adorable Faces". Even though they are not the easiest to photograph it's well worth it in the end. If you happen to be passing by me when I'm in the moment of photographing my own children, trust me you would hear me singing, acting stupid, begging, bribing, pleading, yelling etc. to get anything decent of them. My son is easy but my daughter is WORK! Complete WORK! No one ever believes me because they only see like the 5 good shots of her out of like 100!

Thanks again to all of my clients and to those that follow my blog! Happy Holidays from my family to yours!

These are my newest additions to my daughter's Petti collection! An Ivory and Pink Lace Pettiskirt and Pink Petti top! Now I have SIX pettiskirts for clients to choose from!

Kai... 4 1/2 months

A chilly session with this little guy. He came to me today for a one on one session with me and my camera. Something I've missed over the past month. My passion is definitely for these little and ADORABLE faces... One on one with me and my camera! He's a very CUTE little guy and babies are so fun because they just give you that smile or laugh pretty easily (and they don't move or run from you, LOL!) He did great for only being 4 1/2 months and not sitting up yet. Here's a few of my fav's from today for a peek for Mom! :)





"OMG Carrie! My husband and I are thrilled with Kai's shots. I think he looks cuter in these photos than he even does in reality. Fantastic job! Can't wait to see the rest!" -Kai's Mommy

"B" Family (Finn 17 months)

Today's family session started out pretty good. Great weather, a beautiful family and a super adorable, squeezable little boy with the most spectacular eyes! As soon as we had finished with the "family" shots and I was ready to let this little guy be himself, go his own way and follow him... our session was cut short. This little babe got hurt, a bleeding boo boo lip actually :( ... No worries though, Mom said he is doing fine (Glad to hear that). Such a bummer for all though, I was super excited to get some great shots of this little guy. Hopefully another time in the future when this family visits OC again. Here's a few of my fav's from today.




"Carrie! Thank you so much for taking our photographs last weekend. I am so sad that the session was cut short due to the "boo boo incident", but we look forward to rescheduling another session with Finn because we had a blast. You are so patient and have a great eye for catching the best shots! The proofs you sent were gorgeous and I can't wait to receive our CD! Thank you again and hope you have a great holiday with your family!" -B Family

"M" Family

I had a great time with this beautiful family today! The weather was great and they were awesome to work with. I actually photographed their daughter last year and she was an angel then and was an angel today as well. If I had an award for the cutest, most cooperative and easy toddler to photograph then she would WIN hands down! She helped remind me of the reason why I started doing this in the first place. Babies and Toddlers is why I love photography. Thanks "M", I needed a little reminder! I think I captured some great shots and definitely too many to post. Hope the "M" family enjoys this peek! Thanks for today!







"You have such a talent for taking great pictures. Your ability to work with my two year old in such a way that she is still paying attention after an hour is just amazing! You have a great eye that helps you take pictures that capture the personality and the heart of your clients. We look forward to many more pictures to come!" -M Family

Cousins

This was a pretty quick and straight to the point "mini-session" today! A great spot in the backyard turned out nicely. Love the rocks!

"F" Family

Here's the other half of my 2-in-1 Family session today... the "F" Family! I once again had the pleasure to photograph this family. Since then they've had a little, sweet addition to their family and are now a family of 4! I remember back to when my days were like this... a toddler and a little baby (something I miss). Very cute family and loved their vibrant colors! Thanks "F" Family!

"B" Family

Today's session was a 2-in-1 Family session. These 2 families ("B" & "F" Family) are related and the kids are all cousins! I had the pleasure to photograph both families again. You can check out the "B" Family back in my October 2008 posts and you'll see their little guy was only about 5 months old at the time. Love to see how these little one's grow up! A very cute family of 3 and such a beautiful day! I LOVED the weather and the park today! Thanks "B" Family!



"Thank you, I love all the pictures & have gotten many compliments on them and always highly recommend you! Between last year and this year, our living room wall looks like a "Carrie T. Gallery"!! Thank you so much & we look forward to next year's photo shoot!" - B Family

"B" Family

I had a great late afternoon with this new family of three! I actually did little "B's" Newborn photos back in August. Since then he's grown so much and seriously is a little ball of CUTENESS! I LOVE how he already has such long lashes at only 3 months old! Watch out for the ladies later on, LOL! Mom and Dad once again were so awesome to work with. I love how easy going and helpful they both are. My dream for photography clients! Hope you enjoy your little peek! There was actually a lot that I personally really liked. :)



"Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures! You have such a great eye for capturing the most perfect photos. You are really talented and so easy to work with. Thanks again, Carrie! We look forward to having many more sessions with you!" -B Family

"C" Family

LOVE...

"M" Family

I had the pleasure of doing another photo session of this family for the 2nd year in a row. I love seeing how the little one's have grown and changed! Last year little "L" was around 9 months old and she could already stand up on her own! Now seeing them today interact with each other was adorable! These little one's had me and their Mom working for these shots. I had a ton of FUN with them and it is all worth it in the end I'd say! Hope you like your little peak "M" family. Thanks again!

Kira... 2 1/2 yrs

Newborn... Harlow 5 days old

A very CUTE newborn today and I must say I LOVE her name too! It's so "Hollywood" to me but Mom said it's actually a family name so that makes it extra special. Little Harlow was really absolutely perfect and I am sure her parent's would agree!? She had so much head and neck control that it was hard to believe she was born just 5 days ago!

Newborn sessions are usually the longest and definitely not the easiest because you really don't know what to predict. Most the time it's pooping, peeing, crying, feeding, rocking and soothin going on and praying with patience that they will fall into a deep sleep. That's pretty much how it went today except little Harlow pretty much peed the entire session and almost all the way thru the session I made a comment to Mom that I was so surprised she hadn't pooped yet. Well what a mistake that was, LOL! Out of no where she projectile pooped straight across and onto my kitchen floor, LOL! It was crazy and totally hilarious now. It was like someone stepped on a tube of toothpaste... HA! Oh well, poop never fails with a Newborn! I got some great shots though. It's definitely ALL worth it in the end! Hope you like these Mom & Dad.

Boudoir... (Must be 18 and over to view please)

Super HOT, SEXY & FUN Boudoir session today! This is a Mother of 2! Can you believe that?! She came over pretty much ready to go! She had tons of "wardrobe" to choose from which I love and I also got to play two roles today... "Make-up Artist" as well as Photographer! We totally had so much fun and tons of laughs mixed in with a few cocktails (not me)! Seriously, if you've ever thought about doing this you should! It's such a fun experience, makes a wonderful gift for your boyfriend, fiance or husband and is an awesome self esteem and self confidence booster! We did do "SEXIER" and more "RISQUE" shots but those will stay private. I think she looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL and I really had a blast doing this today! Here's some of my personal fav's! Thanks "S"!







"Thanks... the pictures are HOT"! - Client comment

"A" Family

Great time today with this CUTE family of 3! I remember those days and love them. Don't get me wrong, I love my family of 4 but I just remember back to those days when there was only us 3 (Cherish it and enjoy each day)! Ok, enough about me and my memories! Let me tell you this little guy was so very, very interested in his surroundings that he pretty much only smiled in the beginning of our session. Other than that he was either looking beyond my lens to what was behind me or was looking directly at me like "Who is this lady". I am cracking up because he is such a CUTE baby! What a beautiful family as well. He opened up toward the end of our session because Mom did some crazy dance where she would shake her booty at him and toss her hair all around like she was in a rock video! My mouth was hurting from smiling and laughing so much! Unfortunately at that time it began to get dark. I still think we got some CUTE stuff because I am such a fan of little one's just being little one's.

Newborn... Brayden 3 weeks old

We had a FUN and SUPER MESSY session today with this little guy! Right from the start he pooped on his Mom and my fluffy rug. Then sometime right after that he pooped again and peed a few more times thru out the session. Good thing for me they were ALL on Mom & Dad and my fluffy rug! Never fails when you get a newborn naked, I had already warned Mom & Dad that indeed this would happen, LOL!

So this CUTE little guy was a bit older than I tend to do. My Newborn sessions are done at 10 days old or less and trust me there is a reason for it. He was much more awake, alert, stronger etc. which can make the session challenging. We did get him sleeping soundly toward the end of the session which I personally love because you can "mold" them usually any way you want and they are super CUTE and SWEET sleeping so silently. Hope you enjoy your "peek" Mom & Dad!

Kira... 2 1/2 yrs

My cute chair, my cute girl and a cute petti! I've missed my chair!

Love this last shot! Can you totally tell she is SO OVER IT! Look at that finger! LOL!

Jake... 6 months

You may or may not remember this little guy because he's "grown up" since the last session I did of him. I did his Newborn pictures back in February when he was only 10 days old! I LOVE his smile.... It really is so infectious! Makes my job so easy and so much fun! The colorful blanket we used belonged to his Mommy when she was a baby. Such a beautiful blanket for being as "old" as we are, LOL! Had a fun time today, thanks guys!

"S" Family...

Maternity... Nicole & Nelson

Another beautiful baby belly today! I had a great time with this couple. Both were so easy going, relaxed and Daddy to be was even so helpful for me. Sorry all... My assistant position is now filled, LOL! I LOVE this first shot! Mama had a great idea with these colorful and fun block letters. Love how the color brightens my day when I look at it. Hope you guys like your "sneak peek" :)

Kira... 2 1/2 yrs

Unable to resist a shot when my CUTIE is wearing such an ADORABLE outfit! LOVE shopping for girls... clothes, clothes, clothes! So much FUN!

Saturday Afternoon FUN!

This is what happens on a Saturday afternoon at home with a Mom that loves photography and doesn't feel like doing the laundry, vaccuming, mopping the floor or picking up toys! Gotta Love it! (And once again, don't ask me why this is underlining again!)

"My Angel"

Advertising...

Yeah! Here's my new advertising flyers to go out. Had a friend of mine design and create this one for me. I really like how it turned out!

COUSINS!

Today was a "wild and crazy" session but also FUN! There were 4 parents, 5 kids, 2 of which were only 1 yr olds and me the photographer. The parents really wanted a group shot to give as a birthday gift to Grandma so we all tried really hard. It's difficult to get 5 kids to stay in one place and then have them all happy. I was laughing then and I'm laughing now because I know how those parent's must of felt. I've been there done that with my own 2! Anyhow, after scrambling around for ideas here's what I got. I think they are ALL adorable wouldn't you say? Will Grandma be happy?! :) BTW: Don't ask me why all of a sudden this underlining is happening. I have NO clue and it's so bugging me!

Newborn... Isabella 9 Days Old

This little sweet newborn has finally arrived! You may have seen her in her Mama's tummy during her Maternity session with me back in May. I must say today was a different kind of newborn experience and with that said I am sure her Mom & Dad know exactly what I am talking about. We had a LONG day and little "I" was not my typical 9 day old newborn. She insisted on being awake and not wanting to be in that "newborn curl" or fetal position. Come to find out she isn't a swaddled newborn but rather likes to sleep all STRETCHED out! Ha, not good for photography but we managed to get her sleeping and curling toward the end. We also had a lot of POOPY issues as well but all in all you'll see we did get some CUTE and GREAT stuff! Hope you like these "M" and "R"!









I LOVED her here! She was so ADORABLE because she was finally sleeping so peacefully that I could just "eat" her up!
