As I am wrapping up my sessions from 2013 I am so thankful for all the beautiful opportunities I had with my clients families. Choosing my 10 favorite images from the year wasn't easy. I chose these images for the emotions I feel when I look at them. I feel so blessed that these families chose me to share part of their life with them. Some for only and hour or two with their future baby, their newborn or their toddler. Others I spent days with patiently waiting to photograph their baby coming Eartside. Each time I felt like family as your welcomed me into your homes, let me swaddle up your newborn and trusted me enough to be at your birth. Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart. These images are in no order as I can not pick a favorite. Also there are many many more I would have added but a "top 100" seemed a bit excessive!

Mommy & Me - Los Angeles Baby Photography
Kai and his mommy invited me to their highrise home for a mommy and me shoot. High above L.A. in their beautiful bedroom we attempted to get Kai to nurse, Kai had other plans! He was so interested in my camera and what I was doing in his room that he wasn't interested in his mama's milk. We were able to get a few nursing shots but we made the best of it and took the opportunity to get some sweet photos of him and his mama together.
Beautiful view, adorable bedroom, gorgeous mama and super cute baby...
Lately I have been checking out the book shelves in the homes I visit. I love to see the contrast between pre-baby and post-baby books. I have never been a fan of the saying "a baby changes everything" but they sure do change your book shelf!

Mother And Baby - LA breastfeeding Photographer
Miss Ruby stole my heart the minute I walked into her home. She was so smooshy and clearly so connected with her mama. It was so sweet watching her and her mother interact. So much l0ve.
Ruby with her little curls smoothy legs, adorable diaper cover! (I'm a suckers for cute cloth diapers!)
At the end of her shoot I reached out to Ruby (because who could resist shoomshing on this baby?) and she came right to me! We cuddled a for a minute before she went back for some more mama's milk!
Thank you sweet baby for the cuddles and thank you mama for making such cuddly babies!

To celebrate the free maternity sessions with all booked births I thought I would start sharing some of the births I was honored to be at last year!
Starting with sweet the birth of sweet Stella!
It was a joy to watch this family welcome Stella. Since I was there to capture it, baby Stella and her mama had the full attention of the rest of their birth support team including dad, big sister, grandma and Doula Nikki from Blessed Be Birthing!
