Another Happily Ever After Story - Mallory, Steve AND AVA!!!

 I was so sad when Mallory and Steve moved to Georgia soon after their wedding. Especially when the news broke that they were expecting a baby! Thankfully when Mallory about 6 months pregnant they came back to California for a visit and I got to do there maternity shoot!

Then Miss Ava was born!!! I have been waiting for them to come to visit so I could finally meet her...and a few weeks ago I got a text from Mallory on Monday, that they were coming to visit on Thursday. So I finally got to meet her! She was just as beautiful as she seemed via Facebook! 

So here is their shoot with me at Elk Grove Park.

I will start with this one...it was the VERY first one we took! I think it's just so funny that after tons of photo's the first one had the biggest smile!!!

Love these...Ava's little hands with Mommy's...

 Ava's hands with her Daddy's...

 

These two are my favorites of the whole shoot I think!!!

Here is the little sweetie by herself...

The cutest...

Here are some with just Mommy and Ava!

A little Daddy and Ava time...

Another Happily Ever After Photo Shoot! Sneak Peek for Kiley Jared AND OLIVIA!!!

I got to do another "Happily Ever After" photo shoot the other day!

 (Past wedding clients that have BABIES!!!)

We did a very casual photo shoot at home, most of the pictures taken right on their bed.

I was so excited to meet sweet little Olivia! 

I haven't seen Kiley and Jared in 4 years so I was excited to find out that they were expecting! 

Although, I feel like I see them almost everyday when I look at my website or show a wedding album to  new client. You may recognize them (Kiley especially) if you have been directed to this post from any advertisement I have out there, as she is the laughing blond in the black and white picture that is on my website and in my magazine ads! (You can also see their wedding pictures in the background of some of the pictures.)

 I usually don't post too many baby posts on this blog, as I have a baby blog that is separate one, but sometimes I add the "Happily Ever After" on this blog stories to show how long lasting your choice of wedding photographer really is. So here we go...

I will start off with Kiley and Jared and Olivia together sitting on their comfy bed!

This one is one of my favorites...

This next few pictures are with her daddy. We planned the shoot for 2pm because the last few days without fail she was fast asleep a 2pm and we wanted a sleeping baby for the most part. So Daddy tried getting her in a sleepy mood! She wasn't fast asleep through all of the shoot, but as I always say...next to a sleepy baby, the next preference is at least a happy, non-crying baby! And that she was!

Here are some when I added mommy...

This one is another favorite...

Now it's just momma's turn to cuddle...

Let's add dad back in again...

Here is one Kiley really wanted to do with their wedding rings. Sometimes this picture can be a little tricky, but with a less then a week old baby, it usually works!

We then did a few more with mom sitting on the bed...

We then did basket pictures!!! We got some really sweet close up shots of Olivia while she was in the basket. Using a basket is a great way to get pictures in this direction...

And last but not least...we added the doggies...to complete the family...

That's all for now...we will be doing 3 month pictures later this year...so more to come!
