October 25th, 2007

Here’s a family portrait session at “Baker Park.” The reason we call it Baker Park because we are one of the very few photographers who use this area. Between my wife who is a photographer, along with my parents, it’s a rarity to see anyone else there. This is an AWESOME location. My style is just fun and relaxed. Just KEEPING IT SIMPLE and Natural!!!!!

Enjoy the art images…

09.02.07 Little 12 day old baby Juliana

October 20th, 2007

Another wonderful thing about photographing weddings, is babies. I want clients for life. Here is David and Sheila on their wedding day a little over a year ago. Fifteen months later their life has now changed forever, in the best way. A little bundle of joy from God named Juliana.

David and Sheila were married in Laguna Beach, CA.

0001.jpg

Having fun in the sand.

0002.jpg

Introducing baby Juliana!!!!

hh7m0199.jpg

It’s for your BIG close up.

hh7m0244.jpg

Look at the hair.

hh7m0221.jpg

What a great model, she can even smile, or is that gas???? Who cares.

hh7m0005.jpg

Just chillin’ in dad’s arms.hh7m0010.jpg

Juliana was so relaxed, she decided to take a quick nap. How peaceful.

hh7m0011.jpg

O.K. I’m awake!!

hh7m0029.jpg

Can we be done yet??? I’m getting bored.

hh7m0050.jpg

David is sooooooo proud.

hh7m0017.jpg

The love and special bond between a dad and his daughter is so pure.

hh7m0019.jpg

You can never get too manty kisses from dad.

hh7m0057.jpg

Oh!!! Bright lights.

hh7m0085.jpg

Juliana did a great job for only being twelve days old!! When Sheila came back a couple of weeks later Juliana already looked different.

I swear the older I get the faster time goes. Now my daughter is five, it feels like yesterday that I was doing the exact same pose with her. It’s so important to cherish these times, because we blink and before we know it there off to college….

08.28.07 The Newell extended family portrait.

October 20th, 2007

This was a great and fun beach session in Laguna Beach. Family portraits are so important, life goes by way too fast not to capture a little glimpse here and there. It was slightly overcast, which I prefer because the light is even.

Enjoy the images…

The whole family.

The bouquet toss can get a little hazardous.

I guess if you close your eyes and jump, the garter will end up in your hands.
