Holiday Session: The Toledo Family, Turlock, Ca.

The Toledo Family was such a sweet family to work with.

We did their family portraits in the comfort of their home one Saturday morning in December because Mary (mom)had given birth to adorable Ethan 2 weeks prior to our shoot. And she looked fantastic for just having a baby, she had a beautiful glow and was dressed so cute for the session. Mary and Mark (dad) have an older son, Isaac, who is 2 years old and so darn cute! He was a little shy at first, but once we started snapping the camera away he opened up and had a huge burst of energy and had such a cute smile.

I had a great time during our shoot and I am so excited to be able to share this great family with you! Enjoy!

Nathan, 5 days new

Nathan Joel Gutierrez was born August 21, 2011 at 5:05am and has been such a blessing to his parents, grandparents and extended family. 

I had the pleasure of photographing my great-nephew when he was just 5 days young and it was such a wonderful experience.  It was my first time photographing a 5 day new newborn and I was so excited! He has so much hair and is such a sweet baby, very calm. During our shoot Nathan slept most of the time (as newborns do) and did such a good job, I was a proud aunt! I can't wait to share with you all his growth throughout the first year of his life! 

Enjoy my favorites from our session and to all the Giants fans out there, enjoy the little Giants socks towards the end, his daddy is a huge fan!

Just around the corner!

Happy Friday everyone!  Had to share a few pictures from upcoming posts to keep you up to date on what I have been up to!

The first is from a personal shoot featuring my brother-in-law, Jorge, and future sister-in-law, Amanda! We did their engagement session in August and had so much fun! They are getting married in October in Reno and I can't wait to be a part of their special day. I will be attending as a guest, but I will be sharing pictures of Amanda getting ready on her big day, later in October, I am so excited for them!!

  The second picture below is of my great-nephew (so crazy, I'm a great-aunt now!). Nathan, was 5 days new when we did his newborn session and is such a precious little thing. He is a few weeks older now, but I hope to share more pictures of him as he grows. I can't wait, it's going to be an incredible journey!
