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.
