Baby Charlotte Newborn || Newport Beach

Maybe you remember a couple weeks ago, I posted about photographing the absolutely adorable mama Taryn from The Dailey Method in Newport Beach.  Taryn's wildflower maternity session was one of my all time favorites.  

Her sweet baby girl Charlotte arrived and I just knew it was going to be amazing! Taryn and her husband Eddie are both so wonderful and easy going! Plus they have a cute pup which just makes it so fun!

Stella is SO stinkin' cute, I just can't even.  They celebrated her first birthday at their beautiful Newport Beach home with friends and family. It was complete with all shades of pink and sparkle, two of my favorite things!

I knew when I walked in, this was going to be gorgeous. Their home is stunning and Stella's parents are stunning and , like I said, Stella is the cutest thing ever! First birthday parties are always so fun, tons of babies, great food and drinks and lots of entertainment!

They offered these cute little boxes with cookies inside and tons of stuff to decorate them! I thought that was such a fun idea plus everyone (even adults) loved it!

We ended the party with a little cake smash session for Stella! It was simple and classic with oversized balloons and lots of pink. Stella loved her cake and the crowd loved watching her dig in!

Wildflower Maternity Session with Taryn || San Juan Capistrano

This gorgeous mama made my job easy! Not only beautiful but she's cool and comfortable in front of the camera too! She opted for my newborn & maternity combo package so for her maternity session we did them at this stunning wildflower field in San Juan Capistrano. Yellow wildflowers galore, rolling hills and that beautiful baby bump made this the perfect scene for her maternity session. 

They brought their cute pup too! I always love when new parents bring their first 'baby' along with their sessions. That little pup is such a huge part of your life before baby comes that I love this moment being captured. Plus this golden doodle was SO well behaved!

Millie & Maddie || Newport Beach Newborn Twin Girls

When I first chatted with this twin mama on the phone, she was so laid back and easy I knew this was going to be an epic session. Didn't you know relaxed mamas makes relaxed babies! 

Twin Newborn Girls Corona del Mar

It did not disappoint. The whole family is gorgeous and stylish to boot. Their older daughter was PERFECT! She is barely two years old and she was an absolute dream! Putting newborn twins in the hands of any other two year old would give me a serious heart attack but this little one handled it like a champ! I mean look at that face!!!

M&M Newborn Twin Girls with Sister

Miss Millie & Maddie were sleepy and content the entire 3 hour session. I love the bond twins share and the comfort of the other close by. You could tell these girls really were happier when they were close.
