THIS IS ME AND SOME FAB PROPS I FOUND THIS WEEKEND
August 29, 2010Doesn’t shopping put a smile on every girls face! For me happiness is stepping out of the house on a Saturday morning ALL ALONE and hitting the garage sales in my neighborhood –and look what I found today! The most expensive item is the big 1920’s suitcase that was only $10, everything else was $5.00 or less! Can’t wait to use these fun props for my upcoming photo shoots. In fact I have one tomorrow with a little boy and some old vintage trains, I’m thinking these suitcases will fit the part perfectly….

TATIANA – CHILDREN STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY
August 12, 2010This is my niece Tatiana and she’s shy as can be, but this day she worked it! I blasted the fan on her, and just like that her demeanor turned into a supermodel –rolling her head around, some hip action and all. Her and my daughter Nevaeh are best buds, and they are so lucky to have each other. Ask her what she wants to be when she grows up, and her response — “a photographer like my Tia” –that’s me !

August 10, 2010MARLOWE – Los Angeles Baby Photograhy
August 6, 2010This little ray of sunshine is my first cousin, she’s so much younger than me, that I would prefer to call her my niece! I just wanted to bite her legs instead of taking pictures of her! This fabulous couture dress actually belonged to Marlowe’s mommy, and was made by her grandmother. When my cousin showed up with this little number for her to wear, it literally took my breath away. I encourage you mommies out there to save your little one’s gorgeous outfits so that they could pass it on to their little one’s. Little Marlowe gave me a whopping 18 minutes to take photos of her, after that she was over it, nevertheless I got some cute one’s of her.
katie: These turned out soooo cute! You are such a pro already!
OLIVIA – AND A SURPRISE ENGAGEMENT!
July 29, 2010I first met Olivia when she was 6 months old, she’s now a year old with a head full of hair! She is nothing short of simply gorgeous! I had such a fun time looking at the sparkle in her beautiful eyes through my lens. A few weeks before our session, Olivia’s dad James contacted me to tell me that he wanted to propose to Olivia’s mom Isela the day of our shoot and he wanted me to capture ”the moment.” The plan was that I would give Olivia a music box to play with as a prop when taking family photos, in it was the bling, bling and everything went just as planned. The look on Isela’s face was major shock! she lit up big, I mean REALLY big! With little Olivia on dad’s lap, he very proudly asked his soul mate “will you marry us.” It was a beautiful thing to witness under this gorgeous tree at sunset, the lighting was perfect! Here are just a few photos of “that moment.”
Here they play with the “prop.”
Together James and Olivia open the box.
Isela is so surprised –she lit up!
No not surprised, she’s shocked, heart felt, and soooo happy!
He joyfully puts the ring on her finger, and little Olivia witnesses the moment….
She says yes of course and they seal the deal with a smooch over their darling Olivia!
Olivia and Mommy celebrate –I think Olivia is super excited!!!
And James celebrates even harder with Olivia!
MY DAUGHTER NEVAEH – YEAH! FINALLY HER TEETH FELL OUT!
July 26, 2010This is my Nevaeh , for months her front tooth has been loose and finally it fell out! Yes, she put on the lipgloss herself! She was so reluctant to take these photos. I finally convinced her when I told her she could watch TV all day if she let me take them –what can I say, anything to get photos of my little ones!













































































Solana: Monica, these photos are incredible!! Your sweetie Natalia is so adorable - great lighting. Love it!
