It makes my heart happy to see this family grow. Leighton is a proud new big sister to little Maren.

Little Emi certainly pulled off an award winning performance during her session. She was a perfect angel! Congratulations on your “prize”, Yamashita family!

Sweet Kaylani

Carrie — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 03:05:43 +0000

Maybe I am hungry right now. But after titling this blog post, I am now reminiscing about my favorite take out restaurant here in Fallbrook was a hawaiian barbecue joint called “Sweet Leilani’s” which closed down a couple years ago. I thought it was fitting since little miss “K”aylani is simply delicious… don’t you think? Also, I am so ashamed that this is not a sneak peek, but rather an old session that I can’t believe I didn’t blog sooner. Thanks for looking!

So beautiful, so happy and “so long So Cal”!

This stunning family was brought to southern California from South Africa briefly for business. Luckily that “briefly” covered a maternity and newborn session for me! Little miss was 5 weeks old at the time of her newborn session and I knew our typical curled-up-sleeping poses would be limited, but she made up for it in giggles, smiles, crazy cool eye contact and obvious love for her Daddy! Thanks for looking!

The Marley family welcomes a new little boy.

Ziggy, Orly, Judah and Gideon welcome the newest Marley to the world. Meet Abraham. It was an honor to photograph their gorgeous children! And I didn’t know it at the time, but the photo session took place on Papa Bob Marley’s birthday! Thank you for letting me share a special day with you guys! Here is a little flash back with the Marley family in 2007: Marley Family. All images © carrie sandoval | baby

Now it’s twice as nice in Hollywood.

Please meet the adorable and completely adored Mila and Marco, all of two weeks old and barely 5 pounds each! We met them for their “first and LAST naked photoshoot” (says Dad!) at their home in Los Angeles. I often wonder if parents are surprised by what area of their home we decide to shoot in. Here we had this beautifully furnished living room and office with a wonderful wall of windows, yet we chose to shoot in the “under construction – jam packed floor to ceiling with extra furniture” soon to be guest room. It offered smaller and fewer windows, but they were floor to ceiling, a blank wall to use as a back drop and the ability to close the door so that the room would heat up nice and toasty. The good news is that we didn’t make a mess of the main living area! M+P, It was a pleasure working with you!

Newborn babies everywhere!

This is my attempt to catch the blog up! It’s been a fabulously busy few months with baby season and workshops. What a shame that I haven’t shared these beauties! Much more to come… I have sessions that I haven’t even opened up yet!

First is miss Kate. 100% girl; beautiful and delicate. Mom loves etsy and came fully prepared with her own elastic newborn headband (above). I love it!

I meet Taj in his beautiful home in Corona Del Mar.

Baby Abigail and her wonderful parents modeled for us during a personal workshop.

As did sweet little Isabella!

And it’s always fun to see babies grow. This is the second time I’ve photographed Vienna. She really loved my white chair!

Baby Jaden. Snug as a bug! This is the last shot I took of the trunk with it’s bark intact. It’s face-lift debut is coming soon!

And last but not least… my gorgeous sister and Adrianne, who gave us a surprise visit during a workshop. She is becoming quite the butterball (and yes, I know, I still need to finish my “week” of Adrianne!). Thanks for looking! © carrie sandoval | baby photography

Impeccable timing.

Carrie — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 05:54:15 +0000

Baby Harrison was due to be born just before Christmas, but he so graciously waited not just until Brittany returned from her holiday visit in Atlanta, but for our personal workshop with Candi as well! He was a whole 2 weeks over due! Thanks for waiting for us, Harrison! It was so nice to meet you! © carrie sandoval | newborn photgrapher

Something new.

Carrie — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:24:50 +0000

And I am not just talking about baby Wyatt. I had a wonderful experience working with Tommee Tippee to produce black and white images for their advertising and branding. It was exciting to see one of the images in use (and even more exciting that a friend recognized it on the babies r us website!). Thanks again, to my gorgeous models, Ingrid and Mikayla, and Breanne and Wyatt. © carrie sandoval | newborn photographer
