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!

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.

A precious Gem

Meet 6 day old Gema, the newest beautiful gem to her family. I have been anticipating photographing Gema since the moment I first met her wonderful family back in March, at their maternity session. She spent most of our time together wide awake, not wanting to miss a moment. Our session had many memorable moments and firsts for me, but I feel the most enduring is how engaged daddy is. He made the perfect calming assistant, and I am so thankful for his help.

I was happy to use my newest antique store find for the first time, an old wooden water bucket. I am delighted with how comfortable Gema slept in it, and it photographs beautifully. Looks like a winner!

The new look of I See Beauty Photography

Jamie — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:22:43 +0000

Over the next couple of months I will be unveiling some exciting changes in the look of I See Beauty Photography. Today I am delighted to show you the first of these changes with my new blog and logo! I have worked for months with a graphic designer to come up with a logo that expresses my true personality and style of photography. The sweet hand drawn baby brings a smile to my face every time I look at him. The olive branch represents the pure organic nature of my photographic style along with representing the fact that I am indeed an eco-friendly business. Please take a look around and let me know what you think.

Loving the Belly

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.

Fresh. New. Tatum.

I am off to a wonderful start this year with some beautiful babies and families. Meet brand new baby Tatum at only 4 days old. I love when I get to photograph babies when they are so fresh and flexible. Tatum was a natural and we were able to get some fantastic images that I am sure her adoring family will enjoy. Thank you Tatum for being such an angel.

One with Purpose

Although I have not had the bounty of motherhood myself, I still cannot help but wonder what path these fresh lives I photograph will take. My mother could have never imagined that I would become a photographer when I first arrived into this world. Although she was remarkable at recognizing my early interest in the arts, and continued to foster my passions as I grew. I continue to thank her for the unconditional support she has showed me to this very day. With such bounties, I find myself wanting to pay it forward. I have recently been encouraging several special people in my life to find what their passion and purpose is. For I want to share the secret that, when we find our gifts and follow our passion we will be rewarded in life.

It was so timely for me to meet this very special family I had the honor to photograph yesterday. This five day old baby girl melted my heart from the moment I met her. Her name is Nyah, which has African roots and means “one with purpose” or “a life of purpose” in Swahili. Nyah’s purpose has already had an impact on me, and the time I was able to connect with her helped heal my heart of recent hardship in my life. Thank you Nyah and family for a memorable session. It was an honor to meet you and I look forward to watching the girls grow and prosper.

Exploring the Ranch

Jamie — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:28:30 +0000

Meet sweetie girl Tatum. She is yet another toddler I photographed late last year at only a few days old. We used the backdrop of my friends old red barn for these images. I love the textures of weathered wood and character this working ranch offered us. I look forward to taking more clients out to the Clovis property in the future. Thank you Mrs. C for letting us explore the ranch, we had so much fun.

One of my personal favorites from Tatum’s newborn session last year.

All you need is Love

Jamie — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:43:31 +0000

I first had the privilege to photograph these three siblings when baby Avery was only a few days old. Fast forward one year and she is now an active toddler, running around with the other two. I am sure when Avery grows up and looks back on these early memories of her life, she will not be able to deny the love her big Brother and Sister had for her from the very beginning!

Here is one of the favorites from Avery’s newborn session last year. Mom and Dad had this image printed large and framed beautifully as you walk into their house. I am sure these new images will fit in wonderfully with their collection of family memories.

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.
