cuteness overload.

I just wanted to share a few preschoolers I photographed in May. They were all so cute! I just love this age because they are not self-conscious and there is such innocence and beauty in their eyes and faces. Sigh…because they are only this little once, I am so happy to have captured these cute faces for their parents and family members.

San Diego has been having some super cloudy weather lately which is pretty typical for June, but you wouldn’t believe how gorgeous it has been at the beach! I’m hoping it stays this way for the rest of the summer!

sweet baby girl. captured. {Baby Child Photographer San Diego}

A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer. ~Author Unknown

I had a fun session with sweet little “S” last Saturday afternoon. Mom and Dad contacted me to capture a special milestone–cherished first year portraits! Grandma and Grandpa came along to commemorate the special occasion and it brought back memories of the first time I took my oldest to have his pictures taken. Miss “S” is blessed to have such a loving family to take care of her! One couldn’t help but feel the love and adoration they had for her! We had a great time playing. She was just the sweetest thing with gorgeous big brown eyes. I had such a hard time narrowing down images for the sneak peek!
