Beach Maternity Session at Crystal Cove | Orange County, CA
Lately, I’ve spent most of my time photographing newborns and milestone sessions in my studio in Newport Beach. And while the studio is my happy place, I love the beach just as much! I met up with Bree and Aaron for their maternity session at Crystal Cove. It was a beautiful day at the beach and I had the best time getting to know these two.

Why I have an Annual Motherhood Celebration | Newport Beach Motherhood Photographer
This year’s annual motherhood celebration event was nothing short of amazing. Not only did we have several mamas and their babies, but a few grandmothers joined us too.

Maternity Session at Corona del Mar | Newport Beach Newborn and Family Photographer
One thing I love most about being an Orange County Newborn and Family Photographer is the different families I get to meet.

To celebrate, we did a maternity session at Corona del Mar beach.
Maternity Photoshoot in Irvine at the Jeffrey Open Space Trail
The anticipation of your first baby is so surreal. It’s something you can’t truly understand until you are in it. The emotions are often overwhelming in the best way, mixed with some nerves and a lot of excitement. This could not be more true for Jamie and Tong. We had the best time during their maternity photoshoot in Irvine at the Jeffrey Open Space Trail.

How Sign Language Helped My Daughter Communicate
Did you know that babies are able to understand a lot more than they can say at first? This is because they develop receptive language before they learn expressive language. Research shows that babies who learn basic sign language develop pathways for communication sooner than they would have otherwise.
How To Print Your Photos Without It Taking Forever
As a mother myself, I know all too well how quickly time flies by. It is why I cherish having a printed keepsake of photographs frozen in time. Albums are not only for you to enjoy, but for your children to enjoy for generations! It is why the heart of my business is that photos are meant to be printed and that mama’s should be in them!

First, I want to start off by saying - you will sleep again. I know you are here because you are wondering how can I get my baby to sleep? You are probably reading this, squinty eyed as your little one is restless in their crib and you just need a quick second of that bright light to wake up (besides caffeine of course) but you will sleep again... it just takes time.
