Newborn Baby Portraits – Juliet & Bill with baby Kailyn

Austin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 23:05:00 +0000

Juliet and I actually went to high school back in the day and so I was really excited when she contacted me about doing some Newborn pics not only because I was excited for the shoot but because it would be a great chance for us to catch up and for me to finally meet her new husband Bill and their latest addition Kailyn! Juliet and I talked a bit about what they were looking and I found out they were interested in doing some studio shots as well as some more informal shots out and about. So I got to convert my garage into a studio for the day! Turned out really well. Kailyn was an absolute doll and it was so fun to spend a day with all three of them. I think my favorite part was watching Juliet and Bill interacting with their new daughter. You can tell they are so in love with her. It’s kind of hard not to be. I mean look at that face! Only 3 weeks old and already so expressive!

Pasadena CA. – Andy and Charles

Andy and Charles are actually our neighbors and good friends and I was thrilled when they asked me to shoot a portrait of them! They wanted to do something fun for their anniversary and so they decided they really wanted some new family photos. We started right here at our Pasadena home/quadplex and then went in to Old Town followed by a trip to the Arroyo Secco park. It’s always fun to shoot with people you know and Andy and Charles were no exception!! We had talked a bit in advance about some of the styles etc. we wanted to achieve but really it came down to just hitting the town and hanging out while snapping some photos. Enjoy!

Andi and Nathan Family Portrait, Arroyo Seco Park – Pasadena, CA

I actually went to school with Andi way back in the day (Ok so it was only ’04) and recently reconnected with her at Bravo Salon where she cuts my hair! She is an amazing stylist and if you ever need a great cut be sure to check her out! I was very excited when she and her husband approached me about doing some fun photos to send to friends and family. We wanted to do something fun and in a cool location and I immediately thought of the Arroyo Seco Park here in Pasadena. It is a little gold mine tucked away in east Pasadena that is perfect for shooting! We had so much fun exploring and walking around (definitely got our exercise) and it wasn’t hard to find some great locations for the photos. Here is some of what we got:
