Little Sweet Ciaomhe

I love shooting babies...

The younger the better.

When I decided I would not continue 'my pursuit of being

the most awesome

Preschool teacher and

With my dreams of having 4 children coming to the realization that

I will only be having the two I have already given birth too,

I cherish every second I get with my clients

newborns.

This here is Ciaohme (pronounced Kiva)

Ciaomhe is the youngest of three beautiful little girls and

the most precious thing I have seen since I held my children for the first time.

Did I mention how much I love babies?????

So curious so sweet so new.

When I showed up to the house to do

our newborn session the oldest two girls

Fionnula and Erris, wanted to be in the photos too,

of course why wouldn't they. I've shot this family a few times now

so I knew exactly what to do.

We set up a jump-a-thon on mommy's bed and

let the girls tire themselves out, then we

shot little Ciaomhe in her

mommy's arms.

So very precious.........

What an AMAZING Life I have.

I am surrounded by beauty and love all day

both at home and at work,

and I am so thankful for all

the support.

I was contacted recently to shoot an Elopement.

Not just any old elopement

but a beautiful sunset ceremony in Laguna Beach's Surf and Sand Hotel.

I grew up in Laguna. My grandparents have lived their most of my

life so it feels like home more than any other place on earth......

I'm sure you can imagine how excited I was to shoot there.

On few occasions I have insisted that my hubby come and assist me.

As a lot of you know Nikhil is more knowledgeable than I am

in the photography world and this occasion I needed his creativity and

muscle. We loaded the car with gear and headed south.

After stopping by my grandparents for an ice cold

watermelon wedge we went and met our beautiful couple,

that is where the magic began.

I have been so very blessed to have the most wonderful and beautiful friends.

My friend here, Rochelle, is about to become a mother.

After our initial celebration she asked if we could

shoot some fresh looks for her portfolio before her

belly started to POP.

We headed to my favorite spot,

Manhattan Beach, and shot around the scene.

Thank you Ro, best of luck with mommyhood:)
