When Time Stood Still: Newborn Bundle of Sweetness {Hemet/San Jacinto Newborn Photographer}

So, I know it may seem as though I gush about EVERY client on the blog, but in all honesty, God does such amazing things when He creates people.  Whether they see it or not, I have yet to find one client who does not radiate the image of God in some way – His character, His creativity, His intensity, His beauty…  I feel truly blessed to meet all my new friends and see Him in them.

That being said, God really outdid Himself when He made this precious little newborn.  As I complimented Baby Cole’s sweet, tiny, six-day-old features, his grandfather said something like, “I’m sure you say that about all the babies!”  And I do, because it’s so true!!  Isn’t he just perfect?!

A little angel, really.

Cole’s Mommy and I worked together to soothe him to sleep for this first set of images; he was such a little doll.  It’s so important to me to work on baby’s schedule when creating newborn portraits – and our patience paid off :) .

Though we’ve just met, the impression I get is that Baby Cole is entering such a peaceful family – full of gentle patience and overflowing with strong love.

Adding more feet to the family! :)

It’s so clear that big brother Caleb adores his baby too!

The connection between a mother and her baby is always beautiful.

Love those wrinkly toes!!

While Mommy fed baby, Daddy and big brother played baseball.

It was adorable, and I hope these portraits help you as parents remember the roundness of his little face at this stage of toddlerhood, his inquisitive eyes, those cute little jeans he’ll be grown out of soon, and how the special relationship you share now will only grow more precious from here on out.

Thank you so much for the privilege of creating with your beautiful family, Trujillos.  Can’t wait to show you the rest of your portraits!

Cherish, Love, Remember Always,

Andrea

Genuine, Easy-going Love {San Jacinto Anniversary Photography}

Have you ever met a couple who just seems to be so at ease with one another that they just exude love?  The last few couples I’ve worked with have been just that way.  It was so lovely to meet with Jim and Darlene.  They are celebrating their 10th year of marriage (Congratulations again!!), and I just love to see such a natural affection between two people.  We walked and talked, got to know each other a bit, stopped here and there for nice lighting and pretty backgrounds… and Jim and Darlene just talked easily with one another through it all, enjoying each other’s company.  People like you two are a blessing to me as I seek to share the beauty I see in life.  Thank you.

One of the things I enjoy most about the way I shoot is getting to know my clients; I have yet to meet one who doesn’t have the stamp of God’s handiwork somehow shining through.  Seeing things from this perspective makes capturing moments shared, spontaneous laughter, and love so easy.  I truly hope each of my clients comes away with an impression of this beauty as well.

Thanks so much to you both for allowing me to capture this special time in your lives.  May the Lord bless your marriage with even more love and joy in the years to come!

Seriously beautiful!

Just had to add another from Marissa’s shoot – doesn’t she belong in a magazine?! I think most people are nervous at the beginning of a shoot because they’re not sure what to expect, and because most people don’t really like having their picture taken in the first place. Thanks Marissa for trusting me with this and “working it” for the camera – go girl!

Senior Portrait Shoot for Marissa

Saturday I had the privilege of taking Marissa’s Senior Portraits. We had a great time walking and talking and laughing together in downtown Riverside. Here’s a sneak peek – I can’t wait to show you the rest! Thanks again Marissa, for a lovely afternoon and thanks Michelle for the wonderful dinner!
