Baby Kaylin {Sylmar Ca Newborn Photographer}

Good Afternoon!!!

Lets welcome Baby Kaylin to the world!!! I met Lincy and Kerry back when we did their Maternity Session and I was so excited when they contacted me about baby Kaylin coming into the world and I get to photograph her!!! We met up at their house and I got to work setting up things and removing shelves lol and toys.....hehe, thanks for the height help Kerry!!

The house was nice and toasty and we got right to shooting. Starting off with Mommy and Daddy portraits, she was a real trooper. Little Miss Kaylin gave this lady with a big black square in her hand some great shots and even allowed me to hold her and sing to her for a min or too, oh how I miss the tiny-ness of my boy at that age.

Thank you Kerry and Lincy, she is positively gorgeous and I do wish you all the best NIGHTS REST lolol! You guys are so wonderful and are amazing parents!!! Thank you again!!! Enjoy your Little Princess!

Good Evening!!!

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this post. The wonderful Nichols are just amazing. I starting shooting their Family Holiday Portraits starting last year and I absolutley love them! Theyre a family of six and everyone of them is fun, awesome and um....GORGEOUS!

We met up at one of my favy spots in OC and we even had Grandma and Pappy come and join us! This is how awesome these kids are...I say "NO SMILE" they dont smile, I say "run through those weeds "they run through the weeds SMILING and LAUGHING lol or I say "RUN AND JUMP ON MOM AND DAD" and with all their hearts and fast little feet do they ever!

By the time I knew it our time was up and my lovely sun was setting! Finding myself running with them or rather TRYING to keep UP with them in the fields was a blast. I cant wait till Cash gets old enough for us to do that with him......anyway, needless to saw I had a wonderful time!

Thank you Nichols for a wonderful day and it was sooo much fun! From the bees in the trees, to the ants on the bottle and 4 super charged kiddos....I really and honestly had such a blast!!! Love you lots!!! Thank you again and Enjoy.........
