Roman Cousins

Jamie — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:26:07 +0000

Meet 13 month old Scarlett, cousin to Luca, whom I had the joy of photographing earlier this year. Scarlett and her family are visiting California from Rome, Italy. When they saw Luca’s first photographs Mom knew she wanted me to photograph her beautiful girl too. For being such an active toddler, Scarlett was quite easy to photograph, look at all the amazing images we were able to capture. Who can resist those wonderful curly locks of hair, amazing eyelashes, and charming smile?

Mom and Dad invited me to come visit Rome to in the future, and I will certainly take them up on their offer! I have been to Italy in the past, and would love to visit again. Perhaps next year? And maybe I can photograph some more amazing Roman children while there!

A Summer Baby

Jamie — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:20:29 +0000

Some images are just magical. Sometimes it is hard to put your finger on why, they just are, and I know it the moment I capture it. These moments will always be etched in my memory, not only as an image, but as a feeling. Such was the case with this close up of baby Natalie and her mommy’s hands. What a perfectly sweet image, capturing their relationship, Natalie’s dependence on mom, and how very small and precious she is. She was so alert and calm during our session, a perfect summer baby.

Six day old Natalie is number three in this amazing family. I had the privilege to photograph 2 year old Christopher as a newborn, and 6 year old Alex when mommy was expecting his little brother. How much fun it is to see them now, all grown up as active children. Congratulations Alex and Christopher on the birth of your baby sister!

Little Avery

It is always such a joy for me to be invited back into the homes of families as new members are welcomed into their lives. Meet 9 week old Avery, an incredibly beautiful baby girl. She is the second baby I have photographed for this couple. Her big brother Carson is the one that has graced the front of my business card for over three years. What a delight it was to see them all again! Congratulations Mom and Dad.

Ethan has grown

Meet Ethan, a repeat performer in-front of my camera. I first photographed him as a newborn last September and was delighted to come back and see how big he has grown. Next to newborns, newly sitting babies are my favorite to photograph, they show off their personality and are a blast to be around. Ethan did not disappoint, I fell in love with his amazing baby blues, his smile with those two lower teeth showing through, and his sweet demeanor. It was a pleasure as usual mom and dad, Ethan is so fortunate to have you both.

Loving the Belly

Jamie — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:52:30 +0000

I was delighted when Leslie contacted me while expecting #2. I first met her in 2007, when her husband was overseas serving in the military. At the time, dad was only able to attend the newborn session, leaving Leslie on her own for the belly pictures. Now that dad is back in the states for good, he is fully involved and in sheer adoration of his beautiful pregnant wife. Now newborn baby Aron has turned into an active 2 year old with his OWN opinion about everything. He clearly rules the house.

Here is a family picture from Aron’s newborn session. I have it hanging up in my office, right next to my desk. It makes me smile every time I look at it.

Staying Strong.

Sorry about the longer than usual absence from the blog. In addition to being busy, my car was stolen the day after the twin photo session. Although it was recovered a week later, I still am without a vehicle due to my insurance company being a big pain (saying it nicely). I want to thank my loyal support circle of friends and family for letting me borrow their car and/or giving me rides, as well as appreciating my clients who have been patient and understanding during this time. This experience, like many others over the past year, has yet again reminded me how fortunate I am to have a safe roof over my head, my health, family, friends and a career that I love.

On a more exciting note, I have been working on some great projects, updating the look of I See Beauty Photography. The new logo is complete as of Monday (a big thanks to my graphic designer). Now I am working on all the finishing touches to the new website, blog and eco-friendly packaging. I will keep you posted right here on the blog when the changes go live!

Because I cannot post without an image, here is one of the beautiful baby girl of my good friend, Gena Kirby, the founder of Mommy Matters Online. Please visit her website to see what kind of wonderful services and resources she has to offer mommies right here in the Central Valley.

Lucky Luca

Jamie — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 23:08:06 +0000

I am amazed every time I meet a new baby at the miracle and perfection of life. Meet Luca, he is exactly 5 months old in these images, yet is the size of a 2 month old. Luca decided he wanted to make an early entrance into the world and surprised his family 3 months early. And even though he did not have the advantage of growing in mothers womb for the last few months, Luca is pure perfection, and a true miracle in my eyes. He is also blessed to come from a set of wonderful parents, whom made me feel like I was hanging out with old friends from the moment I stepped into their home.

For anyone who has followed my blog for awhile, you may know of my little affinity for baby eye lashes. You can imagine that I am in LOVE with this first image, of Luca in his perfection, with those long beautiful eye lashes!

Thumbs up!

Meet 8 month old Colson during his big photo debut. Mom says these are his first professional photographs, and what a perfect time to do it. He was so curious and sweet, I just love that look on him. It was a great session, and I think he liked it too. After all, he gave me a thumbs up! After the session mom played a sweet video of Colson that her and dad made about his favorite toys. The song, “my favorite things” was stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Thanks again mom for the yummy homemade cookies, I gobbled them up.

Gentle Gianna

Jamie — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 23:52:29 +0000

Meet baby Gianna at 6 weeks old. She is a bit older than I prefer, but mom found me at the last minute, and I was happy to squeeze her in. For being twice the age as the average newborn I photograph, I was rather impressed with how cooperative she was. And isn’t that hat too cute on her?! It is another perfect creation from my friend Tammi at Just Hats.

New neighbors!

Jamie — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:40:18 +0000

This session was unique for two reasons. First, it has been a long time since I have photographed a 4 month old baby. I have found it to be a difficult age to capture in the past, but Kara has changed my mind! She was such a pleasure to photograph and the images from her session are wonderful. Second, Kara and her parents are my new neighbors. They just moved in and we are all delighted to have them here.
