Orange County newborn photographer | Ryan and his brothers

This family was so amazing!  They just had their third adorable baby boy and came to me for his first newborn photo session with his brothers in tow.  Luckily for them my studio has a room where they can sit back watch movies from my selection of 130+ family friendly movies or color in any of the dozen coloring books at the studio.  This little newborn boy was such a pleasure to photograph.  He was so calm and happy I could have just kept going if I didn’t need to pick up my own kids from school.  Lucky for me though I get to see him again for his milestone session.

Ryan did start his session wide awake, but as long as their calm I don’t mind that at all!  I love me some awake newborn images!  Once I get them all nice and wrapped they tend to doze off pretty quickly.

How sweet does he look in this navy color!  I’m just loving dark colors with boys lately!  It really brings they eye straight to the most important part of the picture, the baby!

Now these are some handsome boys!  They were so well behaved at the studio and were amazing with their newest baby brother.

They saw how it was being done…. and said, “we’re doing it differently.”

No roadmap.
No support.
No paycheck for years.
A pandemic 18 months in.
And babies in the middle of it all.  Because why not. 😏

And still… they built it.

An award-winning hospital.
A powerhouse team of women.
A business that actually cares - about pets and people.
 
Oh - and they didn’t stop there.
They’re now helping other women step into ownership too.

This is what it looks like when you stop waiting… and just go for it.

If that little voice in your head has been whispering “what if”… this is your sign.

Contact me if you’re building something bold - I want to feature you.

You finally stopped waiting for the “perfect time“.

The kids are growing.
The sunsets keep showing up.
In one day, this season will just be… a memory.

This is your reminder to be in the photos.
Not when you lose 10 pounds.
Not when life slows down.
Not “next year“.

Now.

which one are you in right now?
The quote “we need updated photos” stage
The “I’ve been meaning to call” stage
Or the “we’re overdue by 5 years” stage?
 
Tell me below.  I’m curious.

She Means Business: Dr. Maryam Sickinger

when confidence meets compassion, you get someone like Dr. Maryam Sickinger - founder of Advanced Institute of Dermatology here in San Clemente.

From helping patients feel beautiful in their own skin to leading a thriving practice while raising three amazing kids, she truly embodies balance, grace, and success. 

It’s been such an honor photographing Maryam in her family over the years - and capturing this next chapter of her story for my She Means Business series

because when women stepped in front of the camera, something powerful happens -- they see themselves the way the rest of the world already does.

Do you know a woman who deserves to be featured next? Tag her below or reach out to learn more about the She Means Business campaign.
