{Happy Valentine's Day}

2012-02-14T23:54:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I was itching to get out and take some sweet shots of my little LOVES today at this awesome tree I've driven by a million times and finally tested it out with my Teen session earlier in the month. I love everything about this little spot and I love that my kiddos were acting SILLY because it truely shows THEM! It was cold and windy and they weren't too happy until I started singing, telling jokes and put my daughter's stuffed puppy up in the tree. Funny thing is my daughter actually FELL out of this tree not once but TWICE, LOL! At least she fell forward and not backwards but now I can sit and giggle about it since she is fine. Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day with those you LOVE, XOXO!

We had a great session today! I mean look at her.... she is GORGEOUS and the camera loved her. It was fun toting Tori around to a few of my little favorite spots and to not have to chase her but give direction and have it follow thru but don't get me wrong I do enjoy and love chasing after babies and toddlers with my camera of course ;). This last spot we went to had a tree I've been meaning to try out and I'm so glad we did because this tree was FANTASTIC! Hope you all enjoy this little peek! ;)

{ENGAGEMENT} Nicole and Rob!

2012-01-10T23:55:00.000-08:00

It was so nice to get out and do an Engagement session especially since it was with a family friend that I've known since I was 7 yrs old! Nicole and I grew up on the same street and boy did we have alot of fun as kids. Lots of memories, family vacations etc. I'm so happy that she has met her match and they will be married this summer! I LOVE weddings and can't wait for Nicole and Rob's special day. I had never met the Mr. to be until the day of our session and these two did great. I had a lot of fun hanging out with them. There were alot of laughs and smiles along the way. Made me sorta go back in time and remember my own engagement session... Those were the days! Hope you guys enjoy these images as much as I do ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

2012-01-01T23:04:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe it's 2012 already! I'm excited for another year of photography with you and your little one's with my returning clients and new clients! PLEASE feel free to contact me to be added to my "Wait List". It's never too early to be put on it especially if your thinking of wanting a future session like Spring or Summer time. My "Wait List" was created because of my kids/family crazy schedule and instead of booking all the way out thru the year whenever clients want sessions I now have to book per month and will contact clients in order off of my "Wait List". THANKS to those wanting sessions with me in 2012!

***NEWBORNS*** do not need to be on the "Wait List". Please contact me anytime to book your Newborn session! It is always best though to contact me about 3 months before your due date that way I can make "room" in my schedule and anticipate your baby's arrival as well as stock up on some new goodies (headbands, beanies, props, backdrops etc) Thanks!

2011-12-31T21:30:00.000-08:00

Here is my last little session from the year 2011 and it happens to be with my favorite girl... my daughter! She will soon be turning F*I*V*E in January (can't believe it)! Even though I'm currently so sick, have no energy and for the life of me can't stop coughing I still managed to go out for about 20 minutes to get this session done. I wanted a special 5th Birthday shoot for her and did it ahead of time so I could use the photos for her invitations ;) Can't believe how she's grown up. She is definitely a little diva, a little firecracker personality and says the funniest things out of no where and loves attention yet once in a while gets shy. I love her sweet face and I love how she loves her Mommy. Hope everyone has had a WONDERFUL 2011 and here's to another WONDERFUL year in 2012! Hope to see you and your ADORABLE little one's in the New Year, CHEERS!!!

{FAMILY} "M" Family...

2011-11-27T23:23:00.000-08:00

LOOK at this dapper little DUDE! I love him! This family is one of my very close friends and I had a great time photographing them this holiday season. I brought my kids along since were friends but good thing it's not something I normally do. My kids were jumping on my back while I was trying to shoot. I think they thought they were helping to make little "M" smile and laugh yet they didn't realize how funny and crazy their Mama could get to get a smile ;) Dad at this session even commented that I was making him smile big with my baby talk, funny noises and jumping around. You can see the GREAT BIG SMILES below ;) Happy Holidays everyone!

{FAMILY} "W" Family...

2011-11-27T22:16:00.000-08:00

Here's a little peek of this Oh So Super Adorable Family! My lens absolutely LOVES this precious little girl. Smiling or not she is such a beauty and has an awesome personality already! Happy Holidays "W" family!

{FAMILY} "S" Family...

2011-11-15T23:26:00.000-08:00

What a LOVELY family today! The oldest little one had an agenda of her own but we always seem to come together and make it work and the outcome was GREAT! I really enjoyed their collection, some FUN shots and I remember the fun of getting them. Mom did some running around, Dad did some crazy shrieks and we all did alot of laughing. Hope you all enjoy these! ;)

{BABY} Mason... 3 months old

2011-11-15T22:28:00.000-08:00

OH MY this little guy has grown and is such a CUTIE PIE! He belongs to one of my closest friends and I photographed him back in early August for his newborn pics. I miss the baby years so much! You can cuddle them, squeeze them, make funny noises to them and they just laugh and smile. So glad my friend came over for a little visit today because I needed my "Baby fix"! ;)

{TWINS} Andrew and Mark... 8 months old

2011-11-08T22:17:00.000-08:00

LOVE these GORGEOUS Fall days with all the falling leaves covering the ground! (Wait did I already say this before?) Anyhow, oh my how these Twin boys have grown! I photographed them when they were just newborns and they both fit into one of my pots! Mom and Dad are doing a great job... These boys are adorable and so solid, no need to do any extra working out on those arms Mom, LOL! ;) One thing I remember about this session was getting spit up on my hand. Mom and I looked around and she realized she didn't bring the burp cloth... Oh well, we were in nature so what did we do... Picked up a leaf and used that as a cloth, LOL! Hope you guys enjoy these two! ;)

{COMMERCIAL WORK} Aidille!

2011-11-02T20:34:00.000-07:00

Yes somehow I found the time to squeeze in some Commercial work with my kiddos modeling. When asked to shoot for both boys and girls outfits I just had to say YES since my son hardly ever gets to model and although yes he has grown before my eyes he hasn't grown before my camera nearly as much as my daughter has ;( Anyhow Shannon from AIDILLE designs such adorable handmade appliqued clothes including shirts, skirts and hair accessories for both boys and girls. Her use of color, patterns and fun is just amazing! Her quality is unbelievable as well. I was very pleased when recieving my items that not only do they look great but they are also so well made... Gotta love that! Please check out her Facebook page and "LIKE" it and stop on by her Etsy store to see what she has for you! She has some great pieces for the Holidays!

{FAMILY} "C" Family...

2011-11-01T22:23:00.000-07:00

WOW it's November! I LOVE Fall and the colored falling leaves. Many of my favorite spots are just so gorgeous I'm having a hard time figuring out where I want my own family pics this year ;)

This beautiful family came all dressed in their "Holiday" best today! When they arrived and got out of the car Mom first said to me, "Were a little dressed up", LOL! In my opinion I was like, "AWESOME", love that! I enjoy seeing all the outfits and color schemes all my clients come up with ;) Good thing today for this family the weather was in our favor in November since last year when I last photographed them we were all FREEZING and it was super windy we had to cut the session short. Had a good time with them today. They are a beautiful family and the kids are just too adorable! Hope you all enjoy your "peek"!

{FAMILY} "B" Family...

2011-10-24T23:09:00.000-07:00

Adorable family of 3 today! I've been so lucky to have photographed this little boy since he was a newborn. I love feeling somewhat a part of them and their lives since I too get to watch them change and grow before my eyes at each session I do. Little "B" was another 2yr old that was so easy and such a joy for me to photograph. I mean seriously think about it... A 2yr old and a photo session could go either way... smoothly or unsmoothly and I gotta give props to all my recent 2yr old sessions that these little one's are AWESOME! Great listeners and so unbelievably cooperative. What are their Mom's giving them before they come see me, LOL!? I love that "B" was all smiles and even said "CHEEZE" every single time ;) Hope you all enjoy this little peek!

{NEWBORN} Maddix... 10 Days NEW!

2011-10-16T23:38:00.000-07:00

This newborn session was with one of my good long time friends that I actually hadn't seen in a while so what better way to bring us back together for a visit than a NEW baby for a newborn session?! Welcome baby Maddix (such a COOL name) to a wonderful family of 4 to make a complete family of 5! I could not get over his LONG lashes and his sweet dimples when he smiled. I am so happy to have gotten the BIGGEST smile with dimples on a newborn! It was just perfect ;) He did a great job most the time with I think only one pee/poop incident but decided to be a bit rebelious for my favorite squish face pose, LOL. Anyhow, here's a little peek... ENJOY this sweet baby!

2011 BOOKED!

2011-10-15T23:59:00.000-07:00

THANK YOU, November is booked! I may possibly have 1 more date available in December but other than that I am booked for the remainder 2011.

I usually take a break for the holidays in December until mid January. Although, in January I may be scheduling only for "Smash Cake" session's since I have a few clients that will be turning one that month. But I will still be booking per month next year due to my "crazy" family schedule. I will still contact those 1st on the Wait List in 2012. I am sorry and apologize if you were hoping for a session for the Holidays, I wish I could accomodate everyone. If you'd like OFF the Wait List or would like to remain ON for 2012 please let me know at carrietphotography@sbcglobal.net. I THANK those that are on my Wait List that would like a future session with me and I THANK those even more that choose to stick with me and remain on my Wait List. That means so much to me, thank you. Wish I could get everyone in when they wanted but with my family/kids schedule right now I'm unable to.

Thanks again! Please contact me if you'd like to remain ON or be taken OFF my current Wait List

*PLEASE NOTE* If you are on my Wait List it does not guarantee you a session in your prefered month. It was created to let me know who would like a future session with me. Thank you! Have a great Holiday season!

-Carrie T. (XOXO)

{HALLOWEEN MINI'S}

2011-10-11T21:00:00.000-07:00

So I decided to have my first ever "Halloween" Mini's session! I've thought about it over the years but never went thru with it. I am so glad I did this year because it was a blast! It went so smoothly, the kids costumes were fantastic and I love the outcome! Maybe this will be something I do every year... we shall see but for now I'm thinking about doing "Holiday" Mini's next month so keep an eye out if I decide to.

Hope the "Halloween" parents love their SPOOKTACULAR little one's pics! Thanks so much for those that came out!

{TODDLER} Jaxon... 2yrs old

2011-09-21T23:10:00.000-07:00

Now HE... Jaxon is a total CUTIE PIE! Look at that face and that smile! Soo contagious! This little man was a joy to photograph and edit (beautiful blue/green eyes). My 4 yr old daughter came along on his session and boy did he love that. All she had to do was make a simple silly face and he was cracking up with so much joy. Ahhh the small things in life. His airplane outfit totally worked out as I happen to have some model airplanes at home that I brought. Hope you all and Jaxon's parents and family enjoy these photos! Happy 2nd Birthday Jaxon!

Even his shoes matched!

2011-09-14T20:55:00.000-07:00

A few months ago I entered my daughter's photo in the Charming Necessites 2011 Fall Model Search contest. The top 2 contest winners would model pieces from the upcoming Fall line the "Key to My Heart" collection in either color palette of Celery/Coral or Fuschia/Navy. I was so HAPPY that my daughter was a WINNER and chosen to model the Celery/Coral collection!

{NEWBORN} Adyline... 11 Days NEW

2011-09-13T23:33:00.000-07:00

You may remember this little family from back in July when I did their Maternity session. Since then they have added a #5 to their family and she is just sooo PRECIOUS! She was an absolute, absolute ANGEL for our session. Pretty much for 3hrs she slept and didn't need to feed nor poop or pee! WOW, that is unheard of. Thank you for the great session and I hope the "D" family enjoys these ;)

Now BOYS will be BOYS! These BOYS were a lot of FUN! I mean just editing these photos I couldn't help but have a smile on my face and giggle a little here and there remember our session ;) They were so silly and playful with each other and the littlest brother slightly decided to have none of that or my camera, LOL! I'm sure Mom and Dad have their hands full but Mom knows how to keep her cool so I definitely give her credit. These guys were really alot of FUN, Enjoy!

{TODDLER} Myka Happy 2nd Birthday!

2011-08-28T23:10:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure to photograph this little girl once again but this time for her 2nd birthday! Last year she didn't seem to like me or my camera but this year she did GREAT! She was PERFECT... an absolute ANGEL and at only barely 2yrs old she listened and did anything and everything her Mom and I asked of her. I could NOT believe it! Has it been that long for me that I do not remember how 2yr olds behave, LOL?! WOW!

Well I LOVED the black and yellow of this session and actually loved alot of the photos from the collection that it made it really hard for me to choose what to post here. Hope everyone enjoys these! Happy 2nd Birthday Myka! ;)

{NEWBORN} Giovanah... 7 Days NEW!

2011-08-24T23:20:00.000-07:00

OH how I LOVE newborns! These newborns lately are really giving me the baby "itch" and making me think, "Maybe I should have another"?! I think not but I do enjoy my time with these precious angels for their newborn sessions.

I was so excited to meet this little lady and her parents. Mom actually found me from one of my favorite beanie/hat designers (Gracie's Garden). I was also super excited to finally have a tattooed Daddy! Seriously been waiting on doing shots like these forever it seems. Really makes me wish I did photography back when my kids were born.

We had a great session and little "G" really did so well for me despite her pee and poop messes but really what newborn doesn't do those two deeds when you take their diaper off? No biggie, I'm totally used to it and it's always fun to have a laugh. Hope Mom & Dad ("A" & "J") enjoy your little sneak peek!

{NEWBORN} Mason... 6 days NEW!

2011-08-04T22:35:00.000-07:00

This precious newborn boy was such a JOY for me to photograph! He belongs to my dear friends and I have been so EXCITED for his arrival as much as anyone has! He really is a HANDSOME one.... really! Even though he decided to not cooperate too much for us and made our session a little longer than normal, I think he just wanted to spend more time with me, LOL! He did give his Daddy a golden shower as well as a poopy one too, HA! I ADORE this little face and was sooo happy to have photographed him! Enjoy my friends... he is an absolute ANGEL, LOVE him!

{MATERNITY} Mychelle...

2011-07-26T21:06:00.000-07:00

It's been a little while since I booked a Maternity session since I've been busy with adorable baby's and kiddos but this was a breath of fresh air to change it up! Look at this GORGEOUS Mama to be with Baby #3! Yes I said Baby #3! We had a great session and I'm so glad "M" wasn't shy because if you look this fantastic pregnant then this is definitely something you should capture to remember forever. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and I really love focusing in on the belly itself for these sessions as well as my newborns I love just focusing on them! Hope you all enjoy these and thanks to "M" and family for being so patient! I'm sure your all so excited and ready to meet your newest little addition to your family in just a few short weeks ;)

{TODDLERS} Ava & Leo... 4yrs and 2yrs

2011-07-05T23:38:00.000-07:00

So HAPPY to photograph this little DUO again today and on the SAME exact day as the year before! Go figure how that happened. They are such sweet kids and I had a lot of FUN once again hanging out with them. Took little brother just a little bit to warm up in the beginning but OH look at those faces! Look at their AMAZING eyes and serious, innocent looks... I LOVE it! Hope you all and especially Mom & Dad ENJOY these! You have a GREAT little pair! ;)

{1st Birthday Smash Cake} Aiden

2011-07-03T22:49:00.000-07:00

This is "Part 2" of little Aiden's 1st Birthday session.... The Smash Cake! He was such a handsome little fella all dressed up and with BIG smiles! I must say this was the fastest smash cake session and one of the messiest to date (not that I've done many yet but...) He was already "into" the cake before Dad had even set it down and I think seconds not minutes went by before the chocolate cake was destroyed, LOL! Such FUN and such a great memory to have ;) Enjoy everyone and Happy 1st Birthday to Aiden!

{TODDLER} Bella... 4 yrs old

2011-07-03T21:42:00.000-07:00

LOVE that this fantastic client of mine asked me to do a "Mini" session with her daughter and for a particular purpose. She is so adorable and really an enjoyment to photograph because she is so silly too and the same age as my youngest. These photos are for this little Ballerina's bedroom. You should see her bedroom! It's to die for, I'd totally want it myself! Colors as you can tell are Hot Pink, Black and White. I can't wait to see the photos hanging on the wall in her room completing it. Thanks again "D" and "B"! Hope you guys enjoy these!

{BABY} Aiden... Almost ONE!

2011-06-29T23:52:00.000-07:00

This is "Part 1" of this adorable little guy's 1 yr old session! We did a "mini" on-location and his "Part 2" will be the Smash Cake session in a couple days! This fire truck ended up being perfect because his Dad is actually a Fireman and I had NO idea when I suggested this. Although "A" was a bit serious this session we still managed to get a couple smiles in. Also look below at how he sucks his fingers for comfort.... Oh my it was ADORABLE! ;)

KIDS + SUMMER + LEMONADE = FUN!!!

2011-06-29T22:19:00.000-07:00

What's better than a Lemonade stand in the summer time?!

Here's an example of my "Lemonade Mini's" coming up on July 12th! Contact me at carrietphotography@sbcglobal.net to book your spot! ;)

{COMMERCIAL WORK} "Violette Field Threads" PDF Patterns!

2011-06-28T18:53:00.000-07:00

I really can't say it enough that I am so honored when asked to do commercial work for designers. I really do love it and my daughter sure appreciates all the goodies that the mailman or UPS guy brings to our house. I think my daughter and I make a good team, LOL! ;)

Violette Field Threads designs and offers PDF patterns for beautiful garments and accessories. Designers Jessica and Ericka were so great to work with and so sweet. These two outfits and hair accessories they sent me were gorgeous! Even more gorgeous when worn by your little girl. So well made and with such detail, unbelievable!

A beautiful family today and also alot of fun. These kids were so sweet on their little sister it was adorable! I don't think I've actually photographed a multiple age range like this today but they all were really good and easy to work with. I really enjoyed it. Little baby sister was so serious almost the entire session. Mom & Dad joked that she had left her smile at home, LOL! I think I did manage to get ONE pic of her smiling. You can see that in the last photo posted. Hope you guys enjoy your "peek"! ;)

2011-06-14T22:48:00.000-07:00

*2nd Session from the Smash Cake session we did a week ago*

Oh my Little Miss Olivia melts my heart! I've had the pleasure to photograph this little angel since she was born and I don't know why but she "gets" me everytime. Must be that adorable face, that sweetness about her and that oh so great little personality. I feel like I've seen her grow and change each time I've photographed her but this little session we had was fantastic! She is almost walking, was smiling and "talking" to me the whole time. Her sweet little voice is TDF! Everytime I said "Hi", she said "Hi". Everytime I made any sound at all she would mimick me... it was hilarious! I guess I have forgotten what it's like with a 1yr old as my kids are "grown-up". Thanks Olivia and Ash for a great session and actually a great year. HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY LIV! ;)

2011-06-06T23:32:00.000-07:00

So I've been really busy lately and I really can't complain except I just hope my clients are patient and understanding while waiting on their collections. Here's another new designer that contacted me to photograph a dress from her summer line. Introducing 1Crown3Tiaras Boutique! I was once again so happy and honored when asked to work together especially if I really do like the designers style etc. This dress she sent me was fantastic! I love how they can just get an idea of what I would like. I LOVE color and bold designs. My daughter that get's to model them just loves dresses and any dress will do except lately she's been acting like she's a teenager with many opinions on what looks good, what's pretty and what's not, ugh!

Anyhow, I really adore these pictures and the funny thing is that it literally was a 10-15 minute photo session. My little diva was not cooperating at all. I know many think she's so cute, she's so beautiful but what you don't know is that she can be a bit of a "pistol" and a pain in my butt sometimes but I still love her. She pretty much got in "trouble" the entire time for not listening and goofing off but actually the best one's were the one's that just happened! My favorite kinds! Oh and I thought I should mention that she's the one that chose her shoes and her knee high socks to pair with this dress. I orginally thought boots but figured I should let her do something of her own otherwise she could be a nightmare. She said to me she felt like Alice In Wonderland and she was sorta right because with her hair straight with a headband and the tree we chose it kind of panned out that way ;)

You can find this GORGEOUS dress as well as others at... http://www.1crown3tiaras.bigcartel.com

{1st Birthday SMASH CAKE} Olivia

2011-06-05T23:49:00.000-07:00

YAY for 1st Birthday Smash Cake sessions! How could you miss this opportunity when your little one is going to turn 1yr old! So memorable and fun! This is the best to see how they react with their first birthday cake. From what I can remember with both my little one's was you really don't know which way their going to go. My son HATED it and didn't want to touch it because he didn't like to be dirty. My daughter on the other hand completely enjoyed it and destroyed her entire cake. Here little Miss Olivia was pretty much almost the same as the first scenario of my son. She wasn't quite sure what to make of it.... See below how it went ;)

Those of you interested in a 1st Birthday Smash Cake session with me go ahead and contact me at carrietphotography@sbcglobal.net for more information.

{SISTERS} Addison and Reese... 2yrs old & 8 months old

2011-05-25T23:51:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness, I apologize for the LONG OVERDUE of this post! I've been so busy lately I feel like I just can't keep up. These sisters were just precious! I actually photographed little Reese as a Newborn and you'll see her up top of my website... the little baby in the green bowl! At today's session they were as cute as ever and I had a great time photographing them. Addison is only 2 yrs old and she completely impressed me from already being potty trained, talking sooo well and being so smart... Loved her! I think this session turned out really cute and I hope Mom and Dad will adore the pictures. Thanks again girls and thanks "K" for your patience!

{BABY} Jillian...8 months old

2011-05-24T23:15:00.000-07:00

Here's sweet little Jillian once again! You may recognize her since she did some headband modeling for me a few months ago. She is the cutest little baby or maybe I shouldn't say "little" because this girl is a very TALL baby! She barely fit into my baby sized romper above, LOL! I love all the set ups for this session and Jillian did pretty well although sometimes indoor sessions for baby's that are at crawling and standing phase can get a little annoyed that we are trying to keep them in one spot, LOL! Enjoy your peek!

{NEWBORN TWINS} Alex & Jack... 19 days old

2011-05-18T23:17:00.000-07:00

Awww another set of Newborn Twin Boys for me today! Because of my schedule and the weather these little guys were almost 3wks old but they did absolutely fantastic! They loved being with each other so it made it that much "easier" to place and pose them for shots together. We did get peed and pooped on a bit though, LOL! I even get peed on myself I think for the 1st time ever at one of my newborn sessions.... I'm not complaning though because all the work it takes is sooo worth it in the end! Hope you enjoy this sneak peek! (Oh yeah and you'll see the Monkey Sock hats again.... Mom loved them and wanted a repeater) ;)

"MY LOVE"!

2011-05-17T23:10:00.000-07:00

I know I've said this before but at my house it's like Christmas all the time with so many packages coming out my way whether it's been ordered by me or new product from designers. My daughter LOVES to check the mail and the front door because she is anticipating some NEW PRETTIES no matter it be hair pretties or clothes. Its only times when I get Newborn props/clothing etc. that she is a bit disappointed that the cute item is in fact for a baby and not her, LOL! Anyhow, here she is showing her new pouff headband. Love these pouff headbands from Petite Fleurs by Bellasma! Actually love all her stuff! XOXO!

She is definitely "my LOVE" and shares "my LOVE" of girly, girly things which makes it "our LOVE"!

{TODDLER TWINS} Cayden & Tanner... 4yrs old

2011-05-03T22:55:00.000-07:00

Another long overdue post... Thank you to Cayden & Tanner's family for being so patient and waiting on their little sneak peek. These two twin boys had some ENERGY let me tell you. I can't help but seriously smile ear to ear and giggle at the same time remembering our session (hope Mom doesn't mind). They literally were so high energy but had lots of laughs and smiles playing and goofing around with each other. Here's a few of the highlights from our session. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek and Happy 4th Birthday to Cayden & Tanner!

The clothing is from the "Bliss Family" collection from Janum... the tie, 3-way Mommy peice and the toddler dress. Made to match hair pretties are from Petite Fleurs by Bellasma. ALL are beautiful pieces and I am so glad to have photographed them. Big thanks to my "Mommy" model! I only wish I was in these photos with my sweet kiddos too. They all did so good!

We had a great little session today. Mom did so good cordinating everyone's outfits and I love the turn out! Hope you guys enjoy your peek! Happy 1st Birthday Babes!

{FAMILY} "His and Her's" ;)

2011-04-13T23:48:00.000-07:00

An ADORABLE and beautiful family today! These two kiddos are a crack up and man do they have energy! I'm sure they feed on each other for that energy and have these parents beat, LOL! I loved all their outfit choices and I had a lot of fun. Sorry for being long over due for the sneak peek but here it is finally! Enjoy!

2011-04-05T23:59:00.000-07:00

Please welcome this precious baby girl to the world... Baby Ella! Such a gorgeous baby and she did so good for our session. No potty accidents at all. Slept almost the entire time and was pretty good at letting me position her. What an angel! This collection is truely a favorite of mine. Love all the colors and items I got to use. Hope Ella's parents love it as well, here's your sneak peek!

{BOUDOIR} Must be 18+ Please!

2011-03-22T23:51:00.000-07:00

BOUDOIR! Must be 18 and older to view please!!! I was so excited when asked to work with the owner Marzette Hanoian from the WoW Factor! The Wow Factor is a company of hairstylists and airbrush make-up artists and is located in Newport Beach, California . We teamed up together, I got the beautiful models lined up and she made them look fabulous! I mean she did their spray tans a couple days before, hair color, hair cuts and she even did glitter and special applique to beautify and enhance tattoos! Talk about pampering. This shoot was at a gorgeous, dream location and seriously was a lot of FUN. If your ever wanting to do something special like this you should do it! Forget the "I've gotta loose 5-10 more lbs.", just do it! It's such a confidence booster and I promise you will in fact have a ton of fun doing this. Makes a great gift for yourself and an even better surprise gift for your boyfriend or hubby! I think all the girls did great and look absolutely stunning! I couldn't decide what and how many to post because I had a ton of favorites and some were a bit to "risque" to put on here. Anyhow check these out and if your looking for a fantastic hairstylist and make-up artist look no further and check out the WoW Factor! Thanks Ladies! http://www.wowfactor2u.com/

{NEWBORN TWINS} Andrew & Mark... 14 days old

2011-03-15T23:47:00.000-07:00

Sweet Newborn TWINS! You never know what your gonna get when it comes to a newborn session meaning either an easy baby that sleeps the entire time and lets you mold them however you want or a baby that wants to "fight" your every position and insists on not sleeping but with Twins I must say they are pretty tough and put me to work but it's so well worth it in the end! These little guys decided to take turns. When one twin was sleepy and easy the other was awake and fussy and they traded this thru out our session, LOL! A plus though was we only had one pee incident and one poop incident, yeah! ;) Despite all that above, these sweet babes belong to my co-worker and I was so very happy to photograph them. They are adorably sweet and I sooo love the sock monkey hat shots. Hope Mom & Dad enjoy these!

{BABY} Savannah... 7 months old

2011-03-01T20:47:00.000-08:00

Look at this GORGEOUS baby! I barely got to photograph her and her family last year in November because on our session day it was probably the worst (California) weather conditions. It was windy and ohhhh so COLD! Our session was cut short because of the weather, red runny noses and two miserable kiddos... I even got so sick with Bronchitis and Laryngitis right after. I had promised this family a future "Mini" session and they opted to have little Miss Savannah's pics done only. Isn't she a beauty?! She was much warmer and happier this time around for sure! Hope you guys like your little peek!

{Commercial Work} Petite Fleurs by Bellasma!

ADORABLE baby (Jillian 5 1/2 months) today helping me out and modeling some more beautiful headbands from Petite Fleurs by Bellasma! LOVE all these "goodies" I've been getting... so fun to use and photograph with. Definitely helps make a session perfect or just for everyday as well so go check out her store and stock up on some pretties! ;)

{COMMERCIAL WORK} Pish Posh Girls & Petite Fleurs by Bellasma!

2011-02-27T15:36:00.000-08:00

Awww, finally photographed another GORGEOUS dress from the Pish Posh Girls and paired it once again with another GORGEOUS hair pretty from Petite Fleurs by Bellasma! I LOVE working with both these designers! Please check them out as they have so FANTASTIC pieces for that special little girl in your life! If you see something you like I advise you to "jump on it" and purchase it fast because they sell quick!

As for this short little session with my daughter.... Here in CA. we've had some cold and rainy weather and it was really hard for me to find a free day to get out there and photograph and when I could it was cloudy and/or raining. Finally this morning I woke up to a beautiful day with the sun shining. I don't normally do sessions in the a.m. but I wanted to get out there while I had the chance. I already had my location in mind and my daughter's attitude was ready to go. Love this little flower field. So glad I scoped it out while driving home from work one day. You'd think while driving I'd be looking forward and paying attention to the road (which I DO) but I'm also looking around and scoping out possible locations. I think this particular location, dress and clippie went so well!

{FAMILY} "M" Family...

2011-02-22T23:07:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure today to photograph this beautiful family once again! Thanks so much for always coming back to me. I can't believe it's been about 6 months and look how the girls have grown... especially baby sister! I actually really enjoyed this location. Love the little tracks and love how crazily green the grass is. I also had a blast "hanging out" with these four. So laid back and some serious laughs! Thanks again "M" family... enjoy your little "peek" ;)

Oh and what a gorgeous Mom! Don't you agree?!

Carrie T. Photography for MATILDA JANE "PHOTO LOVE" CONTEST!

2011-02-20T23:33:00.000-08:00

Awww Matilda Jane! If anyone that knows me or follows me, must know how much I love the clothing by Matilda Jane. I mean you see my daughter photographed by me countless times in their gorgeous clothes and you even hear me go on and on on my wall post about MJC, LOL! I just LOVE and adore their clothing. So beautiful, adorable, fun, sassy, colorful, UNPREDICTABLE, everything you name it. Definitely makes a little girl be a "little girl" and love it!

As you can imagine how EXCITED, LUCKY and HONORED I felt when I entered the Matilda Jane "Photo Love" contest and was chosen in round #1 to be 1 of 59 photographers chosen out of 1000 submissions! WOW! I can't believe I was in the group. They sent all the photographers a 3-piece outfit that we had to photograph in any creative way we wanted. The only requirement was to have all 3 pieces in the photo. As much as I love these photos of my daughter (because she's my daughter) I do wish it hadn't been awful timing of rain and just getting a single available day out to shoot this session. It was cold and she was miserable. Regardless of all that, I got it done and submitted my ONE chosen image for round #2 to Matilda Jane. Fingers crossed and please wish me luck to be 1 of 10 chosen! If not it was a great experience and my pleasure! LOVE Matilda Jane! Can't stress enough to my clients how adorable these clothes are and how well they photograph! Go check them out if you haven't already http://www.matildajaneclothing.com/

{Toddler} Brayden... 18 months

2011-02-14T23:47:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite little guy's came to see me today for a session! I photographed him as a newborn as well as a couple other times after that. Last I photographed him though was when he was just 1 yr old and my was I reminded of how fast they grow! He was just a little "baby" and this time around he was walking, talking and has changed to a much more "grown-up" look then before. Anyhow I was so excited to see him and to photograph him yet he had other thoughts on me, LOL! Mom said he had been sick recently and was in a "mood". Oh well, he's still oh so cute and oh so handsome and has the most beautiful lashes EVER! So good to see you both today!

{Sorry all. I feel like I'm behind on posting sessions and when I post them I'm not posting a ton of photos like I used to since lately I'm really feeling like I play the "catch up" game with every aspect. I'm feeling super busy and sometimes overwhelmed between work, family, kids, photography and commercial work but I'm not complaining because I do ENJOY and LOVE every minute of it. I think what I wish is that there were more days in the week or more of me to go around, LOL! Let's hope I do "catch up" eventually but if not it's ok because I eventually will and I thank you all for keeping me busy! Can't believe I'm booked up to the end of May! Thank you!}

{COMMERCIAL WORK} Pish Posh Girls & Petite Fleurs by Bellasma!

2011-02-12T23:25:00.000-08:00

Once again another fabulous COMBO from Pish Posh Girls and Petite Fleurs by Bellasma's Spring line! I'm loving photographing and getting such fantastic peices from both these ladies and my daughter sure does appreciate it as well. She's having a ball with all the gorgeous dresses and hair pretties that seem to come to our house every few days. She's actually the one that said, "Let's go out and do pictures". When a sentence like that comes out of my sassy 4 yr olds mouth I had to LEAP at that moment and go! Unfortunately do to timing we didn't have enough light to photograph the other dress or hair pretties. Those will be coming soon though. For now if you haven't checked out these ladies designs you better get on over there and do so before they are sold out! ;)

{COMMERCIAL WORK} Ryah Sofia!

2011-01-31T23:42:00.000-08:00

Today I had a "mini" session with my kids to model some NEW product from Ryah Sofia! Not only is she coming out with her new Spring line of beautiful headbands and clips but she is now going to offer matching tie sets with headbands! PERFECT for your little "couple" or for little girls and their Daddy's! Awesome timing too because this would be great for Easter so go check out Ryah Sofia for her latest designs!

As for my kiddos today.... always have to have a story to go along with my posts! So this little Princess had to be awaken from her slumber to go get her picture taken which means she was whiney and crabby! With that and her being my BEST model I needed to bribe them (HER) with ice cream at the end. These shots took all of 5 minutes and in those 5 minutes probably 4 of them included tears, the word no, I'm cold, I want my blanky, I'm not going to smile and I'm leaving, LOL! My son on the other hand was ready and willing as always. So the most ridiculously part of today was that the pictures took like I said all of 5 mins. and the driving around to get ice cream and having to make 3 different stops probably took 3 times longer than the actual pictures! Ugh! Oh well this is what we got. Go check out Ryah Sofia for sure!

{COMMERCIAL WORK} Pish Posh Girls & Petite Fleurs by Bellasma!

2011-01-26T21:54:00.000-08:00

GET READY because this is a BIG post, LOL! So happy to share this Commercial shoot with you all. Dresses are from the new Spring line from the Pish Posh Girls expected to debut sometime beginning of February! Laura the designer and owner does fabulous work in creating such gorgeous dressses and oh I love the color! I really enjoyed this shoot, the colors, the dresses, the hair pretties (Petite Fleurs by Bellasma) and the cute little girlies. The girls did a great job despite the fact that we had some strong winds blowing them away and not to mention a couple times the balloons went for a ride. Oh and off topic I have to mention... look how cute and girly they both are but when I wasn't looking and adjusting my camera settings/etc. we saw these two going at it pretending to "fight" w/ sticks smiling and laughing. I guess you can tell these two have older brothers, LOL!

Also as you'll see below the hair pretties (headband and clip) are once again from Petite Fleurs by Bellasma's new Spring line. I always enjoy working with Shell (designer/owner). Her pretties are so beautiful, so unique and such an affordable price. Keep an eye out in February and March for 30 new peices coming out for her Spring line and I have 5 more to photograph for her.

{NEWBORN} Cesar... 10 days old

2011-01-25T23:47:00.000-08:00

How lucky am I? Another sweet Newborn which made it two in the same week for me ;) I must say I do love photographing newborns and the end result is the best but don't think these shots never take work (or time) because they do! This little man though was so good. He pretty much slept the entire time, didn't go potty at all I think and his only #1 complaint was that he got cold easily but other than that he was an angel. Big thanks to Mom & Dad for your help (love helpful clients) and especially thanks to Dad for handling baby so well in and out of things and so quickly too. Sorry this sneak peek is a little smaller than my normal sneek peek's but it's because I've been so busy but I do hope you guys like and enjoy this handful!

{NEWBORN} Kaleena... 12 days old

2011-01-23T23:58:00.000-08:00

Awww I LOVE oooshy gooshy newborns even if we had to have an unusual "marathon" session today! Please meet baby Kaleena.... As adorable as she is she refused to sleep almost the entire 5hrs of our session. A plus though was that she pretty much did not poop the entire time but she did sprinkle tinkle on her mommy I think 4 times, LOL! Thanks again to Kaleena's mommy who was so helpful and excellent at positioning her the way I wanted. Here's your sneak peek of some of the shots we did get today, hope you like them "M"! Enjoy!

Oh My Goodness...What a little cutie pie today! This little one is too cute, too sweet and too perfect! I love our little session, love the colors and the wardrobe I selected. I needed this sweet girl to model a new fantastic find of mine. You'll see below the gorgeous necklace bib. I love this item, it's so unique and beautiful. I hope to get more in the future as I collaborate with this new designer. I'll gladly share more info on where to find this necklace shortly. Hope you like these "A"! {Also don't miss the adorable Twins I did earlier in the week when I post their sneek peak. Sorry I am a little behind on blogging as I am sooo busy right now, booked and a bit overwhelmed but I will get thru it! This is what I love, I enjoy this!}

{TWINS} Clayton & Chloe... 8 months

2011-01-17T23:04:00.000-08:00

Aren't these Twins ADORABLE?! I must always say that in every post on them since I've had the pleasure of photographing them since they were born. Nothing cuter than Boy/Girl Twins. We were lucky enough today to have some awesome weather in January that we were able to get outdoors and do this session for them. Little Clayton looked so handsome and little Miss Chloe was so pretty! Hope Mom & Dad enjoy their sneak peek from me finally. Here's a handful since you've been so patient waiting on this post.... sorry I've been so busy. Enjoy!

{TODDLER} Kira... 4 yrs

2011-01-15T23:50:00.000-08:00

So first off I must say that this 1st image of my darling daughter is a FAVORITE of mine! My husband says she's giving total "game face" but to me it's sooo her! It's her fierce, I'm not gonna smile look and I love it! I love her eyes and I love her lips... Can you tell I LOVE her!?!

The weather here in CA. has been so warm! I mean today was 85 degrees out and it was perfect for this dress that we've had hanging in the closet for months so I was so happy to have her finally wear it for some photos! My little "baby" is going to be FOUR next week so I guess you could say these are her "Birthday" photos. We tried to do a little cupcake tea party on the grass but then we were overcome by 3 dogs running wild from their owner only to run right up to us and try to dig into our cupcakes! Oh well, it was a lovely day and you can't beat that in January.... a tank dress!

She also climbs trees with her brother in this get up!

What a great way to start out the New Year with a Twin Maternity Session! This session was with one of my co-worker/friends and I am so glad she had me do these for her because she looks just absolutely STUNNING! I mean come on... pregnant w/ TWINS and she looks this good!? Not a single stretch mark or bit of cellulite and she could still pull on a pair of her pre-pregnancy jeans!!! Awesome right? LOL! Anyhow I had a nice time spending the morning/afternoon with her so I hope you and your hubby like these "J" and I can't wait to meet your little guys when they arrive to do their Newborn session!

{TODDLER} Aiden... 1 yr

2010-12-12T21:43:00.000-08:00

This little guy was my last session for the year and I apologize to Mom & Dad for the delay on your sneak peek! Thanks for being patient with me as this month is one of my busiest as I am sure it is with everyone else's lives.

The best part of today for me and most likely Aiden was the lollipop! Man he went to town and it definitely kept him busy for a good 5 minutes. We were all laughing because he was in need of a bath after this session as he had stickiness on his hands, face, chest and in his hair. Once Mom took it away it was all over! That's why we leave the lollipop til the end. Great session today with him and nice meeting you! Enjoy!

{FAMILY} "C" Family...

2010-11-28T22:47:00.000-08:00

This lovely family was so kind to come out today the weekend of Thanksgiving week since I had to reschedule them because my family decided last minute that we are traveling to some warmer weather! Anyhow this family came beautifully dressed and ready to go except the weather decided to be one of the worst conditions I've photographed in! It was sooo COLD and ontop of it, it was sooo WINDY! I felt really bad for those little one's! It was unbearable and probably just so miserable for them. Funny how the images do not show how bad out it actually was! So sorry to the "C" family for the weather and having cut short your session but your kids are absolutely adorable! You'll see more of this baby girl later in the month when we make up for today and do a "Mini" with her :) Here's a couple shots of what we did get today!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

2010-11-25T21:21:00.000-08:00

Wishing all my clients, family, friends, supporters and future clients a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Here are a couple shots of my two loves... they are the reason I ventured into the world of photography!

{TODDLER} Kira... 3 1/2 yrs {Modeling for JANUM and Ryah Sofia}

2010-11-23T23:59:00.000-08:00

Here is my daughter again modeling a skirt for "JANUM Designs" and a headband for "Ryah Sofia"! Love both products and love the colors! I feel so honored and lucky to be working with such talented designers and the fact that my daughter gets to have all these items is a bonus! She is such a trooper helping me out to take these images even though she was sick and had a fever the day before. Thanks to my "big" girl K, love ya!

Definitely stop by Janum and Ryah Sofia Headbands and check out their newest designs! Makes a great gift for the special girl in your life this holiday season!

{CHILDREN} Mikayla & Ava... 7yrs & 3yrs

2010-11-23T23:33:00.000-08:00

These GORGEOUS sisters belong to my long time best friend and when she asked me last minute to do pics of her girls of course I said yes to these angel faces! Once again the location was at my parents new house and what a convience for me to bring my kids along and say, "Go inside your Nana & Papa's house while I work outside", LOL! It was such a freezing cold day in CA. and I was dressed in pants, a sweatshirt, Uggs and a scarf yet these two girls were such troopers to be dressed up wearing tank dresses in this weather. I think we got some beautiful shots and they will make a fantastic holiday card for Mom.

{FAMILY} "P" Family...

2010-11-22T23:53:00.000-08:00

Brrrrr! It was a COLD day today in CA but I must say I do love it! It was nice to get to wear a scarf and my comfy Uggs to a session. :) I've worked with this family a couple times in the past and they are really nice people. I enjoyed doing their family session today and I think the colors Mom chose were great. Can't believe how little "K" has grown up from first meeting him at 4-5 months old. He was such an "explorer" and enjoyed doing his own thing. Hope you guys enjoy your "peek"! Thanks!

Oh yeah... Isn't this such a Romantic shot?! I love it and to top it off I noticed while editing that there is some tree leaves hanging above them that looks a little like Mistletoe, LOL! :)
