Angelina turns ONE! | San Diego Cake Smash Baby Photographer | Sophie Crew Photography

October 6th, 2011

Meet Angelina – San Diego’s happiest, smiliest and most fashion forward one year old girl. We had so much fun during her one year old session.  The weather was so gloomy, but Angelina’s smile sure did light up the sky.  With the weather being so gloomy, it got darker much earlier than I had hoped, so it was a mad dash to get Angelina changed into all of her cute outfits. You should have seen our shooting space – clothes, props and stuff just tossed all around covering the grass… too funny!  I love photographing babies for their one year session – the cake smash is always a ton of fun.  Isn’t her cake so cute?  Mommy had to help peel away the fondant layer -so beautiful, but hard to dig into with one year old fingers.

Thanks, F family for allowing me to photograph your beautiful little girl!

September 30th, 2011

Happy almost-weekend everyone!  I can’t believe I have let the blog go a week since updating… I have so many great newborn, family and maternity sessions to catch up on blogging.  Bad me!

Meet sweet Chloe.  She was such a cute chunk of love!  Mommy called me when Chloe was already past the ’10 day window’ of newborn curliness and sleepy period, so we had to get her session in as soon as we could.  I met her at just over two weeks old, and although she made me work for it, we got some great shots of this little sweetie.  At two weeks old, babies begin to sleep less deeply and begin to grow out of their womb ‘curl’, which makes it more difficult to get those perfect poses, but Chloe sure did a great job of posing!

I had  a great time photographing sweet Chloe – thank you, C family for a wonderful session!

It was so nice to meet the B family just a few weeks ago.  Mom and dad have three of the most gorgeous little girls ever, and are so excited to be expecting their fourth baby – a BOY!  It’s funny because I have two girls, and I always say that if I ever had a 3rd baby and it were a boy, I would have no idea how to be a ‘mommy to a boy’ by now… I am guessing it’s similar for mommy B!  We had a great time at the beach during our mini-maternity session despite the gloomy overcast weather.  I am so excited to meet their little guy in just a few weeks!

I love this family. Seriously. I first met them over a year ago when mama L was waiting on her little dude, Troy to arrive. You can see her beach maternity session HERE.  Shortly after, baby Troy arrived and we did his newborn session, then his 6 month session.  I was so excited when mama L informed me that baby #2 was on her way!  Wohoo!  I am so happy for them.  We headed over to one of my favorite nature spots for their maternity session.  I can’t wait to meet baby girl A in just a couple of months.  Troy is going to be such a great big brother!

Baby Caroline | San Diego Newborn Baby Photographer | Sophie Crew Photography

September 9th, 2011

I was planning on blogging baby girl’s session last night but apparently San Diego decided to go dark – crazy power outage for the entire county… for those of you outside of San Diego, that was more than 4 million people without power for 12 hours!

I had the pleasure of meeting sweet Caroline just a few weeks ago for our newborn session. Mom and dad are so head over heels with this little love. She was such a great little model. Soooo, she may look adorable, sweet and cuddly but wow can she aim a poop! Lol, Caroline will go down in the books for being the first newborn to actually projectile poop about a foot away right onto my pants and the pretty white carpet, while still looking cute as a button, lol. Sorry about the carpet, C family!!

I am suuuuper behind in blog posts, so I hope to catch up on the gorgeous babies, families and bellies that I have been photographing lately.

Have a great weekend!

1st grade! Back to School | San Diego Children’s Photographer | Sophie Crew Photography

August 31st, 2011

Well it’s that time of year again where I bombard you with photos of my firstborn baby – well not so much baby anymore, she’s 5.5 years old, has her first wiggly tooth, and is starting 1st grade in less than one week.  Where has the time gone?

We headed back to the same location (my favorite!!) as last year for her Kindergarten session, and had some fun.  Ok well not that much fun… awesomely, I happened to sprain my ankle that morning and had it elevated and iced all day, but was determined to get out and shoot Ava’s Back to School Session because I have been so swamped with client sessions, I knew if I didn’t do it that day, I would not get to it until school had already started.  So off I hobbled, into the uneven, rocky, dirt and tall grassy area.  Ouch, yep it did hurt!

Oh Ava, my sweet girl, you are my sunshine on a cloudy day, you have a gentle, sensitive and caring heart, you are my creative, funny, goofy, witty and happy girl.  I know how excited you are to start 1st grade with your new friends and new teacher.  Mommy promises not to cry too much… or snap too many photos :)

 

Wanna capture your kiddo’s 2011 school year with a fun photo like these?  Come see me THIS SATURDAY at FUNBelievable Play in Lakeside for a fun Back to School Photo Session with me from 10am to 1pm.  This is the ONLY day I will be doing these mini sessions.  Funbelievable offers indoor awesome fun for kiddos ages 0-12.  Bring your laptop (free WiFi), get the kiddos a fresh  and healthy meal (they have their own cafe) and kick back to enjoy your latte while the kiddos have a blast!  Check out their FUNBelievable website and FUNFacebook Page.  While you’re at it, become a fan of Sophie Crew Photography on Facebook  to keep up with news and events.

And then there were THREE! | San Diego Triplet Photographer | Sophie Crew Photography

August 22nd, 2011

Meet newborn babies Brian, David and Nicholas – San Diego’s newest set of adorable triplets!  I am so excited to share their session with you all.

When mom inquired about a session for her three almost-7 week old newborns, I was super excited but knowing that they were already several weeks old, we needed to schedule a session sooner rather than later.  So we did, and planned for just a few days later.  Brian, David and Nicholas were in the NICU for their first five weeks of life.  I responded to mom’s email and excitedly envisioned three tiny babies with matching hats and matching blankets, and my awesome visions danced around in my head – I was full of ideas, until I realized I didn’t have any matching boy hats, and there was no way that I would be able to find some ready to ship on Etsy, so I was in a panic – where would I find them in just 3 days!  Well, luckily I have the most awesome of mail ladies right here in town – she’s the one who ships out all of my client orders, and she knits!  I ran down to the mail place and asked if she would be able to make a few, and she happily agreed!  So not only were they made in two days time, but she made two beautiful sets of them with matching blankets and they were SO much cooler than I envisioned – wohoo!!  By the way, I didn’t just choose blue, red and green for fun – mom and dad have babies color coded in those colors to tell them apart those first few weeks :)

I brought my friend and fellow photographer, Melanie along for the fun – she is a rock star assistant!  No, I mean she rocks, she is not affiliated with any rock bands (that I  know of, lol).   When we arrived, we immediately went to work, getting ‘stations’ set up for the babies.  We set up the ‘prop’ area downstairs, and the ‘beanbag’ area upstairs, so that we would be able to photograph these cuties more efficiently – we knew that one would be sleeping when the others would not, and we needed to be ready for the chance of all three boys sleeping at the same time so we could get the ‘together’ shots.

Our session went great, and I am so pleased with what we captured.  These beautiful boys are going to grow up so quickly, so capturing their tiny cuteness at just a few weeks old makes me super happy :)  How awesome is it that Brian, David and Nicholas will grow up to be best buddies and will always have someone to play with!

Awaiting Baby Aiden | San Diego Maternity Photographer | Sophie Crew Photography

August 9th, 2011

I was so excited to finally try out this new location with a maternity client, and was even more thrilled that mama to be agreed to throw her shoes off and dip her toes in the water.  It was such a weird weather day – it actually rained about 20 minutes before our session – ok not for long, but I really had envisioned bright backlit field shots, not overcast gloominess.  I think we did awesome even without the bright cheery skies that I had all planned out in my head.  This mama to be is awaiting the birth of her baby boy, Aiden.  I can’t wait to meet the little dude when he arrives – in just a few weeks!  Thanks so much for a great session, C and J!

Baby Miles | San Diego Newborn Baby Photographer | Sophie Crew Photography

August 2nd, 2011

I had the pleasure of meeting Baby Miles a few weeks ago when his parents brought him to San Diego for a family reunion /vacation at the beach for a week.  Mom and dad are also photographers so it’s always cool to talk shop with fellow photogs.  They are wonderful wedding photographers in San Francisco – you can check out their website here.  Baby Miles was already 4 weeks old for our newborn session, so getting those curly poses was a bit more of a challenge, but we got some beautiful shots and he did great!  Big brother Sebastian was such a cutie too – he adores his baby brother and you can totally tell his parents are photographers – he takes direction super well.   It was a pleasure to meet you, J and K!  I enjoyed photographing your beautiful boy.  Have a great rest of your summer, and come back to San Diego soon!

Baby Bradley | San Diego Newborn Photographer | Sophie Crew Photography

July 23rd, 2011

You might remember baby Bradley’s beautiful parents from their beach maternity photography session a few weeks ago – you can see it HERE.  Well, Bradley finally made his entrance into this world just a few weeks ago, and I was lucky enough to meet him at just a few days old.  It’s funny how mommies already know their babies at such a young age.  Mommy warned me that little guy was due for a poop because it had been a while.  Well, like clockwork, he did just that… all over my shirt and pants, lol!  I’m so used to poop and pee on blankets but little man will go down in the records as being the first to ummm… poop on his photographer, hehe.

We had a great morning, enjoying our little Bradley’s sweet poses and adorable expressions.  I had just gotten a couple of new props so I was excited to be able to use them on him for the first time.  What a sweet little dude.  Congratulations, G family – it was my pleasure to capture Bradley’s newborn sweetness!

Here are a few of my favorite shots from our newborn session:
