Happy Birthday Wyatt!

I can’t believe it has already been a year! Time flies by. Mom, big brother Davis, and the birthday boy himself, came in for his first birthday session. It was the last of the six sessions we have had over the last year. Our Babies First Year includes 6 photo sittings and a 20 page leather bound album. One of my all time favorite albums was the one Belle Amie Studios created for Wyatt’s older brother, Davis, of his first year. By the looks of this cutie I am sure I will have another favorite. I have gotten a chance to really get to know Wyatt over this past year for he and my own son, Logan are best friends. Wyatt has a hint of rambunctiousness in him, but he is as sweet as they come! 

Happy 1st Birthday Wyatt!

Copper Family at Crystal Cove

The Coopers have been coming to Belle Amie Studios for years. This time around we spent our session at Crystal Cove Beach. I love these two little girls. Don’t they almost look like they are from another era or time? They have such a unique look to them, one I can’t really but my finger on. Both parents hail from Europe and I love to hear them speak to each other. I thought it was fitting (and very European) that the girls were itching to be in their birthday suits by the end of the session. Who am I to object?

The Wedge and some sand…it’s not what you’re thinking!

I love to be able to start in studio and them move on location. Studio time tends to be the warm up for the session and then the craziness ensues on location.

First on our agenda today was pictures of the  Johnson family at Belle Amie Studios. Check.  Next head over the the Wedge for some family fun. Check. Nice weather. Check. Get wet. Check. Laugh. Check check. We all had a great time.

Shelly and her husband are awaiting their second child and decided before things got to hectic to enjoy a day with me out at the beach with their 13 month old son, Cayden. Cayden was a huge fan of the sand, I think we even captured a few images of him eating the sand. That can’t be too good! I’m sure this would be the perfect thing to teach your new baby brother or sister.

Capri and Sienna Photos

These two beautiful girls have been coming to the studio since before they were born.  Mommy found us when she was pregnant with big sister, and since then we have done lots of shoots for this Newport family.  My favorite shot is mom, dad, and the girls all looking at each other.  At first, Sienna didn’t want us to go near “her baby.”  She is turning out to be a great big sister.

Melissa’s Baby: Logan Sky at 9 months

This is studio owner, Melissa Olsen’s, baby boy.  Logan is crawling everywhere, “talking” to everyone, and making pretty eyes at the ladies.  Taking photos of him is so rewarding.  He is always smiling for the camera and posing.  He is a natural.  The last shot is daddy taking him home in the new bike trailer.

Family Time!





Baby Everett!


La La La La Leina’s World

How sweet faced is this little princess? Leina and her family came into the studio on Saturday to have her nine month pictures taken. Her bright smile was picture perfect when her Daddy sang her the Elmo song. Leina’s big blue eyes and two teeth smile were simply adorable! Belle Amie looks forward to photographing you and your family in the future.



FEVER ! Scarlet Fever!

Today Belle Amie Studios photographed five month old Scarlet. In the past we have photographed her with her sister Chloe, but today we had her all to ourselves. Little Miss Scarlet was so sweet. Her little sundresses conjured up thoughts of anticipated days of summer spent in the sun and sand. At five months, Scarlet is working hard to sit up on her own, she is an expert at grabbing her toes, and is teething right now. Every finger and toe in sight popped right into her mouth. It made for some adorable photos. Scarlet was a fantastic model and we look forward to future sessions with her whole family.





Little Carson!

Belle Amie met this adorable little boy when he was only a few weeks old. We had another opportunity to photograph him this week for his 6 month pictures. Carson has grown so much and has such a wonderful little personality. He’s very calm, and aware, and smiled every time he heard his mother’s voice. We started out in the studio and then went to a local park in Costa Mesa for some less formal shots. We had a wonderful time capturing little moments among Carson and his Mom and look forward to seeing him at his 9 month session. Carson you are adorable!


Little London!

We spent the afternoon out in Irvine at the home of Micah, Peggy and baby London. London is a beautiful, sweet, calm and playful little girl. Her parents are so devoted to her and it was so great to see what great lengths they go to to make London happy. She is such a princess. Micah and Peggy were referred to us by another one of our clients and we are so honored to take part in these special moments with her daughter. We had a wonderful time and look forward to seeing London grow up.




Maternity Shots with Naomi!

When we met Naomi this week we could hardly believe she was only a little less than a month shy of having her baby girl. Naomi looks fantastic! She was so sweet and quiet and after getting more comfortable with the camera we saw Naomi’s playful side come out. Naomi and her husband look forward to the arrival of their first child!

Best wishes Naomi, we can’t wait to meet baby Hannah!
