Newborn and Children Photographer ~ Palm Springs, Temecula and Murrieta {SNEAK PEEKS}

I wanted to put some cute sneak peeks up of what I've been up to lately...I'm not ready for full posts...but wanted to at least get these up to share. I was able to do a newborn {4 weeks old} and several kiddos over the past few days...I have even been traveling...Palm Springs, Idyllwild, Temecula and here in Murrieta...whew...anyway...enjoy the cuteness!

Phillip {Headshots} ~ temecula valley photographer

What a great young man Phillip is. And so talented. He is a singer/song writer and just wow! And for being young, he sure has done a lot! College, two year mission and just recently worked for a cruise line. From here he will be continuing his education at BYU Provo. Whatever he does, he will be great at it, I have no doubt! Enjoy the sneak peek...

Michael got a {Haircut}!

Normally a haircut is not cause for celebration...haha
Well we have been trying to convince Michael for weeks to cut his mop!
It was so much easier when they are little boys...because they don't get the option...
So today was the day...he let me cut it! YEAH!
He's so handsome (long or short hair)
And of course I had to take pictures...


this is his..."SIGH ~ ok mom I think you have enough pictures" look

Little {Miss Audrey}

She's getting so big!
I can't believe our Audrey is already a year old!
I remember doing baby bumps for her mama and daddy not so long ago...
But now this little girl is busy...goin' a hundred miles a minute ~
Here are some of my favs {her mama's too} from our time together today...










and it's not hard to see why Audrey is so cute...look at her mama! Great gene pool! Love these girls! <3

Riley Roberts

Did I say how pretty my boys' friends are?!?
Riley needed some headshots done...so we had a great time one afternoon down by the creek and the wedge taking some pictures...Love the late afternoon sun as it's lowering over the hills...

Drew, Katie and Lyndsey

My boys have the prettiest friends! Love to take pictures of them! At least they don't get mad at me for taking their pictures! haha My boys get tired of a camera in their direction...LOL

Austin Smith

A couple weeks ago...I took senior pictures for this young man's older brother
Mom loved them so much that she wanted pictures of her younger son...
the nice thing is I know Austin ~ he and Logan have been friend's for about 5 years...funny thing is it didn't help him hate the fact that he was getting his picture taken! haha
After a bit he started loosening up a little...
You know when I have a restless 4 or 5 year old I find that by showing them an image of themselves on the camera screen calms them down...maybe it's because little kids are a little narsasistic...who knew teenagers were the same!?! LOL
I think Austin was surprised that the pictures actually looked pretty good...more than pretty good I say...
So, here's a sneek peek of Austin's shoot and his beautiful blue eyes!

Random Senior Shoots

I've been so crazy busy with shoots lately I haven't been able to keep up...so here is just a few of the amazing young people that I've been able to do their sr portraits

had to throw one in of my son...we are doing his in stages...lol he can't make up his mind exactly what he wants...so he's become a guinea pig on location siting...I just get more pics to choose from of him in the end...more will follow ~

Audrey Baby

this precious little princess is my "great niece"
can you believe I'm a great auntie...well I am pretty great LOL
anywhoo...our baby audrey is 3 months old now and she was such a trooper...
her mama was too!
So glad I got to spend a few hours with my girls!

Kelly Senior Portraits

What a beautiful girl Kelly is ~ both inside and out! She couldn't stop smiling! It was a miserable 111 degrees today ~ but you wouldn't know it from the looks of this natural beauty!

Christopher

Took my nephew Christopher's 9th grade pictures over the weekend...such beautiful, deep brown eyes!
