Announcing the newest Model Search.  Do you have the cutest kid in the Valley?  Belle Bottom Baby and Desiree Durang Photography have partnered together to hold a portrait event in the store August 15th and 16th.  YOU MUST come in the store to reserve your appointment.  Appointment slots will fill up fast.  The winner will get the full model treatment when we conduct a modeling session and use those images around the store and future advertising.  The winner also receives $2oo in portrait products and $50 to use in Belle Bottom Baby. 

I’m very excited to partner with Belle Bottom Baby  the grooviest kids boutique in the Valley.  She’s got a great eclectic selection of fun and unique kids clothes.  I’ve found some super cool stuff for my son over the last couple of years.  I bought my son the coolest vintage Duran Duran concert tee there.  It’s going to be a fun event.  Mini portrait sessions will be held inside the store so don’t wait to make your appointment.  Click here for more details!!

Well he wasn’t a Noah after all… he is now a Kaori Isabella (oops!).  Here she is the new baby girl to Larry and Silvia (this hot momma right here)

For families overcome by grief and pain, the idea of photographing their baby may not immediately occur to them. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives.

I had the privilege of photographing April and Jeff Brewer’s family recently. They have a new addition to their family, Amanda who is two months old and Bradon who is a very cute active 3 year old. Together we were able to capture the family including some very sweet moments. Thank you for the opportunity to capture your beautiful family.

Here he is!!!  Monique and Daryl had their son two weeks ago.  Here he is only 13 days old!

I have been shooting this little cutie since he was in his mommy’s tummy.  Now he’s 7 months and sitting up and totally inquisitive.
