Little C : 1 year session

My favorites from my session with adorable Little C!

I snapped some photos of Little C’s big brother too!

…and for the gallery, Little C at 1 year, and big brother J when he was just 10 months old!

April 11, 2011 - 7:52 pm Krystina - Love them!!!

Welcome to the World : Teeny Tiny M

I was waiting meet to Teeny Tiny M for a long time…even before I knew her mommy was pregnant! She was 3 weeks old when I finally got to meet her, and just as I expected, Teeny Tiny M is a true daddy’s girl. I promise you’ll be seeing her A LOT on my blog.

Here are my favorites…

April 12, 2011 - 10:10 pm Galen - Oooo Daddy is in trouble if she already got him wrapped around her teeny tiny little pinky!

April 11, 2011 - 12:57 pm Patrice - I love her!

Japan Earthquake Relief Session : Part II

When Little Miss J arrived for her session, she was full of energy (as usual) and ready to give me the biggest smile! She loved the pin wheel and played with it for awhile…but I got the best smile when she was playing with her mom and dad.

Little W was a little sleepy when he came with his daddy and mommy, but as soon as he saw the ducks, his eyes lit up and was a happy boy. I love the one where he’s kissing his mommy’s tummy…little brother P will be here in a month!

You’ll probably recognize my next family. Little N came with his parents and his grandma, and although he wasn’t in the mood for photos, I got some in-between shots of him playing with mom and dad. And really, when a child is this cute, even his pouty face makes me grin!

My last session was with Little C and Little Miss A. My favorite image is the last one with the whole family walking together!

April 12, 2011 - 10:09 pm Galen - The kids are all so cute!

April 8, 2011 - 11:16 am Jody - Thanks Sakura! Love them! =)

Japan Earthquake Relief Session : Part I

On Saturday, April 4th, I photographed 8 amazing families for my Japan Earthquake Relief shoot. Although it was a little windy, I enjoyed seeing all my past and new clients, especially the little ones! Together, we raised $650 to donate to the American Red Cross.

My first session was with my favorite chunky monkey, Little B.

…and then came her unstoppable (literally) cousin, Little J

After running around for half an hour, I had the pleasure of photographing Little T. Little T was a little shy in the beginning, but with the help of her mom and dad, I got some beautiful smiles!

My 4th session was with the cutest siblings! As much as the older brother “pretended” to be annoyed with his younger sister, I know that inside, he’s totally protective and LOVES her dearly!

That’s it for now! A big THANK YOU to each of my familes! Part II will be posted soon….stay tuned!

April 11, 2011 - 1:03 am Jennell - Thank you Sakura. We love them. Can't wait to see the rest.

April 7, 2011 - 7:30 pm galen - Wow! What fun looking shoots!

April 6, 2011 - 9:52 pm Lisa P. - Thanks, Sakura! The kids all look so cute, the pictures are all great and it was great to help raise money.

April 6, 2011 - 9:17 pm Fran - Thanks Sakura! What beautiful pictures you have taken.=]Can't wait to see the rest!

J & A : Engagement Session

J & A met in middle school…Stephen M White Middle School to be exact. Back then the walls weren’t screaming LAUSD blue and I’m sure there weren’t any bungalows taking up space on campus. Nevertheless, we had a fun time walking around school and trying out different poses.

Here are my favs from last weekend’s engagement session.

Congrats J & A! I’m SO excited for your wedding!

June 2, 2011 - 9:54 am Patty Kakita - What a wonderful couple . . . I can't believe I was Jaymie's teacher. Boy, that makes me feel even older then I am. Can't wait for the wedding.

April 8, 2011 - 3:53 pm Amber - These are great!

April 7, 2011 - 7:32 pm galen - Stephen White...now where have I heard that one before? :)

April 2, 2011 - 9:55 am Johnny - Wow Sakura, you REALLY did a good use of Photoshop to make the campus look extra clean and neat. ;) Kidding.. awesome pics. Kiddos look good in the pics too! Congrats!
