Meet Analise and Michael, oh-so-adorable and compliant 7 day old twins. Britt and I had a blast with these two. Just one for now. I’m sure I will share others later because this is definitely a favorite twins session, but I want to keep them under wraps (new pose, new prop!) for a bit (*snicker*, the suspense). I first saw heart shaped twins by Sharon Wright ages (5 years?) ago, and have always wanted to spin it myself. It took me that long! Thanks for visiting!  © carrie sandoval | newborn twins

Wow, I’m coming up for air… sorry it’s been so long since my last post. This first image is dedicated to John Waire (who always comments to my posts… thanks so much for your continued support!). I’ve been promising him an out-take for such a long time and I know I have some gems from long ago, but I don’t have the time to dig for them. So, when I was going through Nash’s images and saw him giving me the bird, I thought of John. Perfect! I mean, really, really, perfect. Little Nash was not very fond of being naked or our constant posing… I think he seriously gave me the bird on purpose! Sigh… no guessing where this little fella gets his good looks from! And a side note… I hesitated posting the last picture because I so recently did, but why not? It’s heavily requested… and this Daddy had *the* perfect arms for the pose. What can I say?  © carrie sandoval | baby

Yet another little beauty who had a pleasant look about her the entire time. She is 12 days old. © carrie sandoval | newborn

Little John. Not only were his smiles plentiful during his session… he just seemed to have the most pleasant, content look on his face at all times. I’d say he’s happy to be here!  © carrie sandoval | laguna beach

This is baby Michael. He is only 6 months old, yet is already sitting… crawling… and pulling to stand up. Who wants to make bets that this little go getter will participate in the 2024 olympics? This session was also during that February heat wave… gotta love it!  © carrie sandoval | baby
