When your birthday is in October, what better place than a pumpkin patch for your bday pictures!! Little Naomi was so sweet, and her outfit was perfect!! #childrenphotography #firstbirthday #birthdayportrait #pumpkin

Wilting flowers can be oh, so beautiful! Before you throw them out, add them to your kids bath with a (big) splash of milk, and let them have a blast. Not only does it look amazing, it's also a sensory bath - so let your kiddos smell and feel the gorgeousness. (But no tasting, of course!) I added these flowers and a couple of drops of lavender oil to Olivia's bath before bedtime last night, and let her do her thing. Here's the result! #childrenphotography #santaclaritaphotogr

Fruit bath sessions are the new cake smash sessions! I did this one at sunset, and LOVE the result! #childrenphotography #fruitbath #santaclarita #childrensphotography #santaclaritaphotographer

I couldn't get enough of sweet little Meera's shabby chic cake smash session! She was a treat to take pictures of! #cakesmash #childrenphotography #santaclarita

It's not every day that you get to take pictures of a beautiful little Snow White smashing a cake! Loved this session from beginning to end! #childrenphotography #santaclarita #EventPhotographer #cakesmash

Sometimes we dress up just because, and on this particular "just-because-day", I took Olivia to Vasquez' Rocks to roam around in the beautiful surroundings there. Her and I both love that place..so peaceful and serene. Olivia skipped happily around in her lovely floral dress and her gorgeous cardigan that her "mormor" (grandma) knit for her, and along with her forever-sidekick Georgie, and the beautiful sunset, this afternoon produced some wonderful pictures for us to keep. #
