Children’s Photographer Huntington Beach California

I finally had the opportunity to photograph Baby K in her first ever official portrait session.  Kristine and Jon are probably the sweetest couple I’ve ever met, and one of my most favorite clients.  I photographed their wedding a couple years ago at Saint Vincent de Paul in Huntington Beach, and have since photographed a few of Kristine’s former co-workers’ weddings also.  I told Jon “they say babies are the most photogenic at 8 months old” and sure enough he contacted me when Baby K was about that age to schedule a session.  We took a few shots at my studio first, then headed to downtown Huntington Beach for some different backdrops and the lovely, soft natural light.  The AMAZING ChinnyLulu Designs was kind enough to lend me some of her fabulous hairpieces for the shoot.  The one shown is a classic, white baby headband with bow.  I’ll eventually post more pix showing the awesome ones with feathers; they’re to die for!

I used a textured overlay on this image to create a darker, more dramatic background so Baby K’s bright outfit stands out even more.

    You caught Baby K perfectly. She looks like she’s looking right back at you and is listening to your every word. Nice clean photo of her face! Beautiful job. And yes, I would guess that Jonathan & his wife ARE wonderful….Jonathan was wonderful back in 6th grade when I had him as a student…can’t see him being anything but wonderful!

    That is an amazing picture of Kaelyn. The colors pop, her eyes are beautiful and I really like how it sorta looks like you’re using a tilt-shift to get that shallow depth of field.

    Thanks Vince! Sounds like you know a bit about photography :) I used a 50mm, 1.4 lens set at 2.8 & had her sit about a foot in front of the wall to attain the shallow depth of field. That my favorite lens for portraits, and it’s by far the least expensive one I own!

    I am color blind but I can see everything in this picture. She is as good looking as grand Pa at 8 months old. Jon and Tin, keep up the good work . God Bless all of you.

    I like the saturated background, it adds lots of visual crunch and interesting texture to the layout. Cute shot! The look of curiosity on her face is great. Well-captured shot.
