I love traveling to Los Angeles for my newborn portrait photography sessions (and for any reason really), but I would’ve flown anywhere for this little guy. He happens to hold a very special place in my heart since he is the first son of two very good friends of mine.

This first shot makes my heart do a flip. What a perfect moment for a smile!

He’s quite a handsome little fellow if I do say so myself!

Cuddle time on the sofa with dad. I couldn’t resist snapping a few shots. It’s often that it’s these intimate moments that end up being my favorites.

These two are such a team at everything that they do. This shot describes them so well — always playing with one another and having fun with life. It shows their excitement over their new little guy perfectly!

And as the sun set low in the sky, we took advantage of the beautiful evening light. A little kiss, a little snuggle with Grandma. Congratulations you two — you are already amazing parents and I feel truly honored to be part of documenting this time in your lives.
