The Sanchez Family Christmas Portraits

This shoot could not have gone any better!  Little Amelia was such a trooper!  I have yet to see a baby make it through an entire shoot but Amelia set the bar.  She was so happy and so curious and at times I found myself just watching her take in her surroundings instead of actually taking the pictures.  Then there were times where I couldn't put my camera down.  Isn't she just the sweetest?

Kenzie's mom came along and I could not be more appreciative of all her help.  When it comes time for me to get an assistant, she will be the first person I call/beg!  I had so much fun with this family!  It's sessions like these that make me love what I do!  I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do!

Baby Joaquin's 1st Christmas!

I have to hand it to all photographers who have mastered the art of photographing newborns because let me tell you how hard it can be!  I have only done a handful of newborn portraits and being that Joaquin is a bit tinier than any newborn I've held I was extra careful at positioning him.  Don't let that sweet face fool you though, he was one stubborn little guy!  Mommy fed him and let him sleep and when I went in to position his little hands he jerked and twitched and wouldn't have anything to do with how I wanted him positioned!  Needless to say: 1 Joaquin, 0 photographer!  So I worked around him and let him sleep.  He is just too sweet and Mom & Dad almost had to kick me out because I could have stayed there all night.

Joaquin is only a few weeks old and you can tell by the looks on their face how happy and proud Mom & Dad are!  I couldn't be happier for Michael & Kris!  They are such a sweet couple and make a beautiful family!  Congratulations to the Curry family!  I wish you guys all the best and can't wait to watch little Joaquin grow up!
