For those of you that don't already know me, I am from a little desert town, in So Cal, called Victorville. Anyone ever heard of it? When I was younger NO ONE ever knew where it was, unless I said, "it's that city you drive through when your on your way to Vegas" or "you know the band Sublime? They once mentioned Victorville in a song." LOL. Then everyone would go...ohhh yeah, LOL.
Anyway, my husband and I moved from there a few years ago and left some very close friends of ours there. Because of that, we travel there at least two times a year for vacations or special events. This time I was fortunate enough to be able to head down solo, with just my camera, to document the birth of my best friend son Dean (check out the sneak peek for that:
here). Because I was going to be there for a whole week, I set-up some sessions while I was there.
This lovely family had just had their third child, Lukas. They were given a gift certificate for a newborn session as a gift at their baby shower, so we planned this session during the time I was going to be in town. It was supposed to be a lovely outdoor session shot at sunset with the desert as the background. Buuuut, when it came time for the session, the desert was blowing with, what seemed like, hurricane force winds. So we had to switch up the plan. We decided to do a lifestyle newborn session and just use the family's lovely home as the back drop. Even though the pictures weren't what we planned for, I think they came out lovely. Here's more from this session:
This is Lukas's big brother, Jeremiah, and his big sister, Savannah. Aren't they adorable!
Both mom and dad had some really cool tattoos!
This shot just melts my heart!
Even though this little guy was close to being a month old, we were able to get some awesome newborn posed shots. He was the perfect little model.
I was so lucky and fortunate to have this family in front of my camera for the day. Congrats on your new little bundle of joy! ~Jen
