A Little Glimpse of Life Before Baby … Orange County Family Photographer

I'm always so honored and humbled when people invite me into their homes to photographically document their lives. This dear couple not only invited me in, flinging wide their darling dutch door, but also put a mug of hot coffee in my hands upon arrival. (I loved them at "hello!") Our simple goal with this session was to capture what their "now" looks like, because, as everyone knows, a baby kinda, sorta changes things a little bit. Or a lotta bit. Today's Saturday mornings look relaxed, maybe even lazy. They include hot coffee, newspaper, take-out burrito, sports on the tv, a just-moved-into home in their dream neighborhood with new furnishings like a "man-chair", cozy Christmas decorations including new stockings announcing Baby Boy's name :-), a reading routine with books of more than one language, and lovely walks in the 'hood, greeting the neighbors...

Tomorrow's Saturdays will still include many of the elements that make today's Saturdays so wonderful, but they may be a little more unpredictable, a little less lazy. They will definitely include less sleep, more milk, more diapers, ... and more joy than this delightful couple can possibly imagine today.
