Conejo Valley Lifestyle Photographer – The D Family

I was so sad when our baby’s first year with Grayson ended, but I must be the luckiest girl in the world because I had the honor of doing another shoot with him in the fall. It was a foggy morning but it burned off quickly, a gorgeous day overall. Grayson had a fun morning going to the park and then to the pumpkin patch. It became a bit warm out and he was not feeling good in his Halloween costume, but I think his parents will agree that his diaper pictures are the cutest pictures ever! His mood brightened significantly once that costume came off. I love it when things work out that way.

Thousand Oaks Family Photographer – A Year Documented: Shoot #2 of The Buss Family

This shoot was SO MUCH FUN! My first client shoot in the rain. Actually, I had done one before but it was just a sprinkle, so it doesn’t really count. This was the real deal and it was so great! Nothing makes me happier than when kids are allowed to be kids and Peyton’s reaction to the rain was just adorable. I had expected more puddle jumping, but he was more interested in the water falling from the sky. This first image might be my favorite image that I have ever taken of him.

Ventura County Family Photographer – A Pasadena Adventure

This is my third time photographing this family. I adore them! These kids are amazing! They are creative, animated, happy, and confident. I am so entertained by them and I have no doubt that they will be famous someday. It may seem like I say that a lot about some of the kids that I photograph, but there is definitely something about these two that is so special. I CAN NOT WAIT to see what they become. Their mom and dad are so unbelievably talented that, it’s not even in question the potential they have for big things in their future. They are also explorers and have traveled to other countries. It’s so inspiring. They have the most amazing parents to not only take them on these amazing adventures, but to also take them to cultural events in their community and art shows. INSPIRING! People, TAKE YOUR KIDS PLACES! They will only benefit from it and so will you. So, that is why I have titled my blog “A Pasadena Adventure”. It may have not been a true adventure the way they know them, but the kids still explored and enjoyed their surroundings and I had the pleasure of documenting it.

Camarillo Newborn Photographer – Baby Owen

Not too long ago I photographed Owen’s 6 month pictures for his baby’s first year and here I am just getting to blog his newborn shoot. This was new for me to document this little bundle and try to keep the focus on him because I had documented Grace’s first year too. It was challenging at first keep the primary focus on Owen. But, I was happy to also have been able to document Grace in her new role as sister and big sister. She was a little shy at first, but then enjoyed showing how good she was in her new role. What a gorgeous and sweet family! I am so honored to be able to document this time in their lives. Angela Valerie Photography

Newbury Park Lifestyle Photographer – The Sweetest, Happiest Siblings

THIS SHOOT!!! It’s in the record books as one of my most absolute favorite shoots ever! These kids were so amazing! Their mom was so amazing. The location and light AMAZING! What was so great about this shoot was that mom wanted her kids to be photographed organically. As you probably know, that’s what I do. But, even when my clients view my work, they don’t always understand organic. 75% of my clients do, but some don’t and that’s okay. It’s just very refreshing when the kids are allowed to run, explore, play and get dirty at a shoot. But then, not only did these kids give me that, they gave me some adorable posed pictures too. I don’t even remember asking them to, but they did and I couldn’t be happier. Posed pictures are important. They look great on Christmas cards, they are cute, and they make grandma happy. Mr. E was beyond happy the entire time. He was adventurous and animated. I could literally photograph him all day. He really enjoyed being photographed too. Especially while jumping off the swings. I must admit, I could barely hold my camera with my sweaty palms while he was doing those stunts, but it was fun to capture and if mom wasn’t stressed, then I knew that I shouldn’t stress. Little Miss S was equally as amazing. Such a gorgeous girl and so full of sweetness. I love how she held onto her blanket in a bunch of shots. That’s the kind of prop (although not a prop) worth being in pictures. These sibling were so sweet and kind to one another and Mr. E was such a gentleman carrying his mom’s purse at one point. At the end of the shoot there were the most sweetest moments where Little Miss S was picking flowers for her mom and Mr. E was putting flowers in mom’s hair. I melted and died while capturing those moments. This shoot was 100% organic and it was wonderful.

Moorpark Lifestyle Photographer – Grayson at 18 Months

I just love this little dude. He was the smiliest newborn I have ever photographed and getting to document his first year was such an honor. I was lucky enough to get to see him again at 18 months for this shoot and then again in October and even again just recently to document his 2nd birthday party. I hope I don’t have to wait too long before getting to see them again! 😉 This shoot was special because we got to include Grayson’s grandparents in the shoot. I also love how his parents really wanted to document one of Grayson’s favorite pastimes at the shoot: playing with the sink. He got drenched and had a blast. It was so great to document and I am so happy to have been able to capture it all for them.

Conejo Valley Family Photographer – The G Family

I don’t think I have ever had a shoot with a toddler who was so engaged with the camera. This doll of a child was always getting eye contact with my lens. I was blown away. I love so many pictures from this shoot (hence the large post) and I tried narrowing down to mostly pictures where she wasn’t looking at the camera. She was so happy and so lovable. She fussed twice and OF COURSE I had to include those. She didn’t want to have her tights taken off and she didn’t want to be set on a tree stump. LOVE IT! Her parents were so natural in front of the camera and did such a good job interacting and playing with her. I couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable shoot. I especially love how animated they were with little miss B. Some of the expressions I got make me so happy. Little miss B herself was very expressive too! So cute!

Thousand Oaks Family Photographer – A Year Documented: Shoot #1 of The Buss Family

This shoot was from OVER a year ago. I was planning on doing one beefy blog at the end of the year (or in my procrastination: beginning of 2015) with all of my favorites over the year, but there are just too many. I thought “I can just pick my number one favorite from each shoot and have a nice blog post with them.” No way at all possible. I love this family and I love this kid and I just need to blog each one of their shoots. Each one was so special and deserves it’s own blog and story. Here is our January session 2014 at their home and in their amazing backyard.
