Newborn Family Photos, Monterey County, Ca.

There is something so great about being able to photograph great friends. Obviously, we already know one another and there is an added layer of ease already established, so it's almost like second nature & everything just falls into place from there. I was waiting with baited breath for Tony & Diana to have this baby so I could grab my camera and go visit!

I took a ton of photos of Madison, in all her little cutie outfits. Which was the point of course. However, when I got home, I realized that I also took a ton of family photos. The three of them & then just Madison with each of her parents & I fell so in love with them that I had to edit them first!

: )

I don't usually color select. It's just not my style. But I felt like if there was ever an opportunity to change my mind, this was the photo to do it for...

I think this might be my favorite picture of Diana & Madison. Hands down.

Funny story about the following pose. Parents love this pose. It's all the rage. And until it is your turn to partake in this fabulous shot setup, you really have no idea what it is that you are getting yourself into!

It's a challenge for sure & all the adults (including myself) are sweating profusely with a matching skyrocketing blood pressure, but its so worth it in the end. 

However, this is how most of them turn out. Still adorable, if you ask me.

You can hear the scream in this one!...

So.Adorable....

Half way through, we decided to abandon the over the arm shot & switch it up.

Madison definitely appreciated it.

This is her "don't drop me" face! It's a blooper but I love it anyways!

Lounging. Look at her toes!

Diana, you are stunning.

Um, beyond the valley of adorable.

More to come. Of just Madison....
