little sister | OC Baby Photographer

It's hard to believe that I took this little cutie's newborn pics just a few short months ago!  Look how big she's getting!  And oh, so darling!  Her mama has had a picture like this taken of each of her kiddos, all around the same age...in fact, I took her big brother's pic a few years ago!  We were talking about how sweet it will be to see them all displayed together...the 3 boys, and then the little sister with a cute bow on her head!  I love the sparkle in her eye, and she just has the sweetest smile ever!  Thanks baby Hope!  It's so fun to see you grow!

Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was a British comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the silent era. Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his screen persona "the Tramp" and is considered one of the most important figures of the film industry. His career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death at age 88, and encompassed both adulation and controversy.

"Storydress II is a series of photographs of a life-size paper mache and plaster sculpture. The dress is made of paper mache stories that I recorded of my great-grandmother’s autobiographical reminiscences. Each photograph contains legible words. The sculpture was photographed with the wet-plate collodion negative process, printed on handmade gold-toned Albumen paper, and burnished onto antique Cabinet Card mounts. For exhibition the cabinet card photographs are displayed using an antique wooden Graphoscope (magnifying device) and shelf."

Dahl Family | OC Family Photographer

Meet the Dahl family! I photographed their little girl Charlotte when she was a newborn...and boy, how time flies! She's a big 2 year old now, AND a big sister! (Click HERE to see her newborn images) We ended up changing our location at the last minute because of a big music festival going on at Central Park...and so I am thankful they were flexible! I loved the little area we found, and the light was lovely...I hope to go back there again soon! Here's a peek at our session...
