Sophia – 10 days old | Hermosa Beach newborn photographer

Meet Sophia – just 10 days old and full of personality. She did not want to stay still or pose for my camera – just wanted to pee or suck on her hand. We waited… and finally she settled down to sleep after a few hours. Patience is always rewarded when it comes to newborn sessions! Isn’t she cute?

A few of my favorites from a recent session with some fun grandparents and their four grandchilden under the Hermosa Beach Pier

Blake + Grant | Palos Verdes baby photographer

I didn’t get a chance to blog these earlier! I adore these images… there isn’t much better than a big brother being completely absorbed in his new little brother. Pose together? Of course not. But, check him out and smother him with kisses? Sure! Patience generally wins in the end.

I have been meaning to share this session for ages. These two are favorite clients of mine, and Lainey is one of my Jason’s little girlfriends from preschool days. It was so cold and windy the day of their photos, but they were such good sports! I think it was because they know they get treats afterwards.

Jake + John

Baby John is the newest addition to the family, and we had a blast watching him explore his surroundings walking around the neighborhood. I photographed his big brother at the same age so it was especially fun to compare their two personalities. I absolutely love this family, and it was great to see them again.

Joan – you are an absolutely amazing woman! I am so honored to be able to document this part of your life.

Doesn’t Jake look cool in front of this truck? I loved this image in black and white too, but the color version won in the end.

Summer in the South Bay

I love summer! Here are some of our favorite things to do with the kids during the summer here. I will post some more ideas soon, but here are some for starters.

Dodger games

OK, maybe you are more of an Angels fan, but check out what Dodger stadium has to offer for the kids these days. Sign the kids up for the Junior Dodgers program at http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/la/fan_forum/jrdodgers.jsp. The boys got to run the bases after last week’s Sunday game – Derek hasn’t stopped talking about it.

Polliwog Concerts in the Park – Manhattan Beach

Concerts at the South Coast Botanical Gardens

Charlotte Diamond is August 30th. http://www.charlottediamond.com/

This is a fabulous concert for young kids! I took our boys when they were 3 and 5, and they absolutely loved it! Take a picnic.

Summer movies at Avenue of the Peninsula

This is the schedule for Regal Theater in Palos Verdes, but Regal Theaters does this all over the country.

Ambree Honor…growing up again

Lisa Roah — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 08:38:15 +0000

I have been meaning to blog this session for a week or so! Here is Ambree again at 9 months. I LOVE this age! 6-9 months is one of my favorite ages to photograph because babies are so happy and expressive at this age. Ambree just loved hanging on to the black chairs at the Metlox Center. Every session I shoot with her, she loves to stick out her tongue at me and scrunch up her face, and then she gives me a big smile. She is by far one of the most expressive babies that I have photographed this year.

Growing up – 1 yr old shoot

Lisa Roah — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 04:53:32 +0000

This is one of my favorite little guys…not only is he the only son of one of my best friends, he is really fun to photograph. He has the best laugh, and a wonderful serious expression. I got to the house as he woke up, so I had to take some shots of him still waking up, then we had fun climbing stairs, banging on mirrors, driving his toy car, and finally headed to Metlox, where he proceeded to sit in the fountain quite happily! We took a break for coffee (us) and a cookie (him, well, also us…), and I love the photos of him with a HUGE chocolate chip cookie. Enjoy!
