The G Family {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Family Photographer}

After quite a break (holiday madness + morning sickness = not a pretty combo) I'm back!!!  I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing this family a little while ago, when they only had one little guy (and momma was expecting #2).  Now that they've got another little man in the fam they wanted to get an updated portrait for their home. 

 Of course, we managed to squeeze in a little glam when Miss J got her makeover : )  Take a look at her Before & After here.

Sisters {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Family Portraits}

Out of 3 kids in my family, I am the only girl. 
How I wish I had a sister...
Especially when I see this sweet girls.  How CUTE are they???

 I just can't get over how darling they all are.  Love it!!!

Glam Baby - The L Family {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Newborn Portraits}

OH. MY.
Glam looks good on any girl, at any age, wouldn't you say?
This one is only a week or two old and she is FAB.

Did I mention she was a complete ANGEL? Like 100%.  She got an A+ from me.  I think we realized her true calling in life...good thing we can get her started at such an early age! Hehe.

Her parents are awesome.  Check out their family shoot here that we did days before this little cutie came into the world.  

I die.
I love this.  If she wasn't such a GLAM girl in the other shots I would be very tempted to say this was my fave shot.  If you know anything about her Daddy-o you would know this fits him perfectly.  I nominate this to be his new profile pic...and to keep it that way until the day she marries.  She would love that.

Puppy Love {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Portrait Photographer}

Ok, so maybe he's not a puppy...but he was sure sweet.  This big guy had a photo shoot with his two favorite owners.
Darling kids.  It's clear how much they loved their dog.....

 A few months after our session together I was informed that the big guy passed away.  It was his time to go.  I know that he lived a happy life.

Another reason why being a photographer is so amazing...I get to capture visual memories of what once was.  R.I.P. Big D!!!

The L Family {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Portrait Photographer}

I love this sweet family.  I've done so many shoots with them I've lost count!!!  Take a look at the one I did with them about a year ago here.  

Honestly, one of the coolest parts about being a photographer is seeing how much things change over the years.  In this case, a growing family! 

I am forever grateful that they have chosen me to capture all of these defining moments in their lives!  Baby #2 was on the way....so glad we got a get a few shots of this beautiful momma and her fam!

I've taken pictures of this little man before he was even officially out of his momma's tummy!!!  Love him!!!

Ummm....this is what I call perfection!

Any guesses on the gender of the baby?  I'll be posting pics of the babe next week : )  Gorgeous is an understatement for Miss Mom over here...she was literally due any second when we shot this! 

Like father, like son!  Hehe.  Keeping busy while I was taking pics of the lady in charge : )

Miss B {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Portrait Photographer}

I had the pleasure of taking photos of this sweet little graduate!  Yes, I am behind in posting as we are nearing the beginning of the school year, but I just had to get these up and show the world!  She is darling and such a sweetie.  That pink grad gown just tops it all off : )

 

A Chuck Kinda Wedding {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Wedding Photographer}

Meet M & C.  Talk about an awesome couple.  M is obviously beautiful but also super sweet and a talented hair and makeup artist!  That's what I call a triple-threat!  C is totally laid back and real.  And together they are all smiles!  I loved how they couldn't help but laugh with each other whenever they were together.

These were taken at a beach in Carlsbad, Ca...Thanksgiving weekend (can you guess what I was thankful for???).  Perfect weather?  Check.  Beautiful surroundings?  Check.  Adorable couple?  Check.  Easy peasy.   

Next, of course, came the BIG day.  I'm such a sucker for black & white weddings and once I finished processing these I couldn't help but LOVE every single one in b&w.

The Wedding & Reception was held at a beautiful Golf Resort in Carlsbad.  The girls got ready in the Bridal Suite and the guys did their own thing in, well, the guy's room.  The thing I loved about this wedding was that everyone in the Bridal Party had a pair of Chucks.  Each with their name embroidered on the back.  LOVE it!  

Did I mention that day turned out to be one of the coldest days of the year?  Yikes!  Everyone was freezing but put up with the cold so that I could get some shots of everyone together.

 

 They had a classic big white tent for their Reception.  Simple yet elegant.  I loved the giant lanterns, and the Bride & Groom Cake Pops were just darling.

They had one table dedicated to the kids at the reception.  It was decked out with candy and all kinds of fun treats and toys.  One of the things they got in their swag bags were temporary tattoo sleeves to match the Groom.  Once they got them on they couldn't wait to show C and get a picture taken.  Aren't they adorable???

Alas, it was finally time for the newlyweds to call it a night.  I just love weddings and was thrilled to be part of theirs!
