In addition to getting her first Christmas portraits and some of the more usual newborn portraits, we had some fun with dad in his gear. I've always admired the dedication and quiet heroism of firefighters and after a house fire that admiration has only grown - our family is very grateful for their efforts. I'm so happy to have had the privilege of photographing this hero's adorable family. <br /><br />I had so many favorites that I'll continue in another blog post tomorrow! <br /><br /><img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/los_angeles_newborn_photographer.jpg" width="830" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/los_angeles_baby_photographer.jpg" width="830" /><br /><br />p.s. for any photographer friends viewing, no, those aren't photoshopped effects on the backgrounds of the bottom two ; ).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7833000577838901373-6365650466358599722?l=jeneuhausphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833000577838901373.post-17301154544183197832011-02-27T05:11:00.000-08:002011-03-03T22:47:47.053-08:00<img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/ventura_newborn_photography.jpg" width="830" /><br /><br />One of my favorties sessions is photographing newborn babies! I never get enough of that fresh new sweetness. The sessions are usually very long and often messy, but oh so worth it! <br /><br />This tiny beauty is the granddaughter of another photographer, Cheryl Skinner. We had a photographer "playdate" to get just a few images.

Three kids, three unique and engaging personalities. One solid and (fun)loving family. Had to document middle brother's cast, love the color accent, so much cooler than the boring white tape I had for my broken arm as a kid!<br /><br />And extra cool? I didn't have to chase them down to get the photos as I usually do with the little ones!

The very cool program she chose through the <a href="http://www.lls.org/hm_lls">Leukemia and Lymphoma Society</a> involves meeting a fundraising goal AND competing in a Triathalon. I'm one of her photographer friends, along with <a href="http://clairealyseblog.com/">Katie Davies </a>and <a href="http://desireedurang.com/blog/">Desiree Durang</a>, drafted to help with her brilliant fundraising idea. <br /><br />Eight families donated directly to the L & L Society and, as a "thank you", were invited to a four photographer minisession event. The families got to take advantage of a fully tax deductible donation, an afternoon in the fresh country air and a sweet collection of family photos from four different perspectives! <br /><br />For me, a total personal win-win. I got to give back a little, meet the adorable kidlets from eight fabulous families, hangout with three fun (and so talented!) photographers and enjoy a gorgeous day at an incredibly beautiful private ranch in Agoura. And the best part? Jen did all the Triathlalon training and I avoided the blisters! ; ) OK, maybe that wasn't "quite" the best part.<br /><br />The best part for real? The fun (and beautiful)people I'll be sharing here!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/los_angeles_child_photography2.jpg" width="820" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7833000577838901373-6908466917833556267?l=jeneuhausphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833000577838901373.post-12519045740365571422010-09-24T20:10:00.000-07:002011-05-28T00:38:24.608-07:00<img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/malibu_beach_portrait.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br />We had unique weather for this winter beach session. Sunshine mixed with cloud cover that would occasionally give way to a soft gentle rain. The little steaks on the top image were those misty little raindrop with sunbeams shining through! Sweaters kept us warm until the sun went down, rain and all.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/malibu_familyphoto.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/malibu_famphoto.jpg" width="810" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7833000577838901373-1251904574036557142?l=jeneuhausphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833000577838901373.post-65199722028500751972010-01-02T00:26:00.000-08:002010-01-02T13:00:58.064-08:00<img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/malibufamily.jpg" width="810px" /><br /><br />The first half of the year I get more commissions to photograph babies and children on their own, the focus usually being on the child or children. The last half of the year seems to be more family oriented. People start thinking of holiday cards and realizing another year is passing and they need to photograph their growing families now to help savor the memories later.<br /><br />In the fall I was lucky this gorgeous family braved over 100 degree temperatures and unexpected beach crowds (!) so we could do their session at one of my favorite (and family friendly) Malibu beaches.<br /><br />I love photographing families, and kids in general, outdoors. We're so lucky here in Southern California that our weather cooperates most of the year. (Sorry to my Midwestern and Eastern friends! You're welcome to come visit if you can dig the car out of the snow covered drive!) Most kids are just so much happier outside than in a stuffy studio, especially somewhere they can play while humoring their personal paparazzi for the day. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/willkids214.jpg" width="432px" /><br /><br />Little miss personality is the "baby" of her family with three older brothers so you can imagine she's surrounded by plenty of cars and trucks and stuff to play with. So, we just had to make a little time to indulge in some girlie girl fun, no boys allowed! I was a girl who loved growing up with a brother who shared his toys and can love me some Tonka truck and Matchbox cars play time. But there's just something about a twirlie skirt and pretty accessories that are irresistable!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/malibututu.jpg" width="810px" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7833000577838901373-6519972202850075197?l=jeneuhausphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833000577838901373.post-56713559211095641972010-01-01T19:46:00.000-08:002010-08-06T23:56:13.590-07:00<img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/joog.jpg" width="650px" /><br /><br />OK, I'm not a big fan of formal New Year's resolutions but I'm always in favor of setting positive goals. The start of a new year, especially the beginning of a new decade is a nice place to begin. Vowing to never let a single day go by without indulging in chocolate is probably too easy, huh? A goal that I hope is almost as easy is to start updating this blog each week. Or month. Hey, baby steps, baby steps!<br /><br />So, here is my first blog post of the decade. And now I'm off to take care of that chocolate goal ; ). Hope your new year and fresh new decade is off to as sweet a start!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.losangelesmaternityphoto.com/joogx2.jpg" width="810px" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7833000577838901373-5671355921109564197?l=jeneuhausphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833000577838901373.post-47069281659365230962009-12-07T02:21:00.000-08:002010-08-07T00:00:38.554-07:00Oh have I neglected this poor blog! The holidays are hectic for everyone, for photographers it's truly our busy season. In my case that means blogging has to take a backseat to getting sessions proofed and orders filled!

I was one of those head in the clouds little girls. (Shhh, sometimes I still am!) Today I love that my work as a child photographer allows frequent little visits to the world of "Let's pretend." I have fun creating a little make believe world and the kids seem to enjoy playing along, they surprise me with the creative story lines they share while we make adorable portraits.

Even make believe tea is the yummiest! I adore my collection of teacups and teapots and it's fun to share with some of my little friends while creating children's portraits that capture the fun of childhood.

I really love child photography of all ages but there is something about those first few weeks of life, where everything is new and amazing, that touches me so deeply.
