Los Angeles Wedding Photographer | Chelsea Elizabeth Photography | Westlake Village, Santa Barbara

I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable new baby boy last week. Isn’t he a cutie!!! I love the pictures with his big sis!  What a great addition to the family ;)

This one is my favorite!

Hayden Elizabeth is six month’s old!  I just love taking pictures of babies as the grow in the first year. So much has changed! She can hold her head up now and smile. I think she looks like she’s going to be a redhead too! :)

The Harris’s were a great end of the day for mini-sessions!  I love the cute outfits Andrea put the family in!

Hayden Elizabeth had the cutest autumn baby mini-session. The portraits are to capture how cute Miss Hayden Elizabeth is at 3 months.  Since it’s getting to be fall we got some autumn pumpkin props to celebrate the season.  Thousand Oaks is such a fabulous place to live. We are so blessed with so many parks and valleys with tons of open space for yummy light.  I love these photographs since they show her just learning how to hold her head up. She’s just trying so hard!  The other portrait when she just couldn’t hold it up any longer.  Of course you can’t have a baby portrait without capturing that fabulous gummy grin!  Watch out though.. those teeth are coming soon!

Hayden Elizabeth is enrolled in the Baby’s First Year portrait program.  Keep up with all her portraits through out the year!

I had a fabulous time photographing the Chestnut’s at McMenamin’s. Who knew Oregon had such great light!!! What a great looking family :)

We headed over to McMenamin’s again for Karyn’s family portrait.  I could shoot here everyday!

Karyn and I headed out on an  adventure to take some portraits of Hayden. Since we are big wine lovers we took some baskets and headed to wine country.  Duck Pond Cellars was kind enough to let us take portraits in the vineyard.. I just love Oregon!  Hopefully these photos represent Hayden and Karyn’s family.  I can just see more family portraits in vineyards for years to come!

Pears are the state fruit of Oregon!

The whole reason I headed up to Oregon is this beautiful baby below!  My best friend Karyn had Hayden…. she’s such a miracle!  I loved photographing Karyn and Hayden in the nursery.  These special moments are what life is made of!

Meg is such a good dog mommy :D

Hayden loves a good burrito!

Of course we couldn’t get out of the house without having to give Hayden a bath!

I had the honor of photographing my friend Katie’s birth session a few weeks ago. I love shooting births! There just isn’t anything more emotional then a wedding…  The moments between loved ones just melt your heart.  Here’s a story of one family becoming just a little bigger!

I just thought these moments were so sweet! Waiting for baby Isaac to come!

Doesn’t Katie look so beautiful!!! I love her red hair! This one had to be in color :)

I had to get a picture with Katie!

I think the image on the right says it all ;)

I love these moments between couples in the delivery room!

Dad’s so excited! Baby’s about to come!

I desgined this super cute thank you card for Karyn’s baby shower.  We used the maternity pictures that I took of her and her 3D  ultrasound image.  We printed it out on thick pearl card stock. They came out great!  I had to share :)
