Sisters 4yrs and 6 weeks| Santa Cruz and Bay Area Child and Newborn Photographer

I had the opportunity to work with not only ONE beautiful little girl today, but two! Sisters L & R were both breathtaking, I had so much fun working with each of them. I'm looking forward to seeing you again in 6 months! Hope you enjoy your sneak peak :)

Emma turns 1 | Santa Cruz and Bay Area Children Photographer

Emma was my very first High Tide milestone client - and it has been wonderful seeing her grow up over the last year. We were all very excited to watch her enjoy her cake smash, and this social, beautiful little girl is just about the dantiest cake eater I've ever seen - it fits are darling personality perfectly. I had a ton of fun photographing her once again, L family - here's your sneak peak!

Emma's 9 months! | Santa Cruz and Bay Area Children Photographer

Emma is getting to be such a big girl! These eyes never cease to amaze me, though... what a doll. Thank you for coming out again, L family - I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

Emma's 6 months! | Santa Cruz and Bay Area Children Photographer

When I last (and first!) met little Emma, she'd just turned 3 months old and completely stole my heart with her amazing blue eyes. I was so happy to see this growing girl and how much she's grown in just 3 months. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek L. family!

Cap'n America is 6 months (or Owen!) | Santa Cruz and Bay Area

This is the 3rd time I've had the opportunity to photograph little Owen - I can't *believe* how big he is now. I very distinctly remember how tiny and sleepy he was at 5 days and to fast forward almost 7 months is a shell shock! We had to take the time to put on his adorable Halloween costume - Captain America - for a few shots as well. He was such a trooper! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek, M family!

Little Emma - 3 months | Santa Cruz, CA and Bay Area Child Photographer

I had so much fun meeting little Emma, she is an absolute doll and here eyes! Beaauuutiful eyes. She tolerated us moving her from one position to the next like a champ! I'm very excited to see her grow over the next year, here is the first sneak peek from Emma's 3 month photo shoot:

Beach Baby | Santa Cruz Baby Photographer

There is almost nothing I love more in the world than watching babies run around the beach. It's a perfect spot to capture a toddler, too, because they're just so thrilled and amazed by the surroundings! Granted, running up and down long stretches of beaches chasing after a busy kid can be exhausting, but I think the pay off is worth it in the end. Here is Sierra - 14 months old - enjoying our beautiful coast!

Joey's 1!

Ok so it's been a busy year for cake smashes - and I never get tired of them. Joey had a blast digging in to his cake! Happy Birthday Jo-jo...

Little G - (almost) 11 months - Sneak Peek!

I'm in love with the baby rolls!! Gavin and his parents drove a very long way to come by and have his 1 year cake smash photos taken, I was so honored! I had a blast, I do think cake smash photoshoots rank near the very top of my favorites list - who can resist babies covered in frosting??

Thanks for coming all of this way for the shoot, guys, I hope you enjoy these as much as I do, it was wonderful meeting you!

Sneak Peek: Owen is growing fast.

I had another opportunity to work with little Owen - who isn't so little any more! I can't believe it's been 3 months since our first shoot together, he's grown so much in just a few months, it's amazing. I love this family, love working with this family, and love cuddling their adorable baby boy.

So - without further delay, here's the sneak peek from our session this morning:
