Little A's dress..

Not to long ago I met with this beautiful baby girl and her mommy for a mini session to get a few pictures of her in her dress that mommy made for her to wear for her dedication. It was a bautiful weather in a nice new location, and mommy brought along an awesome basket.. :)

New baby boy...

You have no idea how many newborns I've met in the last few weeks.. funny how I've had only boys lately!!.. This sweet boy was welcomed by 2 older brothers.. I bet mom and dad will have tons of fun once this little one joins the other 2 in their adventures...
He was so so sweet!!

oh how I LOVE a baby's back..

can you tell how happy they are with their new baby brother?.. :)

Thanks F family!.. it was so nice to finally meet you!!

Birthday girl...

I met with little E a few days ago to capture her in her 1 year old glory.. :) what a sweet and happy girl!... it was a lovely morning.

I loved this flowers!!... Spring is here!

The biggest smile

that I've got in camera
He was just a sweet boy.. I met his mommy and daddy not too long ago when I took mommy's belly pics... and I was just so happy when she called me to take his newborn pictures, and I'm super excited that I'll see him grow through his whole first year.

I think this is one of my faves captures of mommy and baby.. love it!

A very special day...

A couple of weeks ago I was very fortunate to be part of a very special day in the life of this sweet baby girl and her family.. I was there to capture that special moment, it was a wonderful reception and we all had a super day..

Isn't she cute!?

Thank you W family!..

and baby will be 6!

I had the fun opportunity of working with this nice family again, this time was for a very special reason... they'll be adding a sweet baby girl to the family!!!... can you imagine how excited we all are?!... :)

The boys did awesome!.. they all were so helpful!.. mommy wanted this shot! it looks so sweet!

Congrats G family! can't wait to meet your little girl!..

my new toy..

I got a new toy, a new lens.. this photo passion that I have is a little to0 expensive.. LOL but I so love it that it's well worth it... it came in the mail and I had to take it with us today while we went exploring our new town.. don't they look cool?!

9 month old boy overload!

9 months old is one of the best ages.. they are in that cute stage where they just smile all the time, they don't move yet and most importantly they don't talk back.. ;) I LOVE working with this age, I just know it's going to be fun.
Of course little W was no different, I got to his house and we just had fun around his neighborhood, one of those sessions where I just follow around with my camera.. my favorites.. :)

doesn't he have awesome eyes?

I'm sure you can tell that I try to keep my photos as close as real as I can, I'm not against photoshop but I try to avoid it... but well, I had to try this and I splurged in some textures... I'm no fan of textures at all, but I need to agree that some pictures just need a little something and textures is a good way to get it.. so here is an example of what I got.

This pictures is just with my basic editing.

I added a texture here.. what do you think?

Thanks to the R family!.. can't wait to be with you guys for the 1st bday of little man!

Snow Day!

If there is anybody reading this blog from the North, then you'll probably laugh of this, but for us is a big deal!.. SNOW in AL!!.. :) we actually got around 5in, it melted in no time but it was fun while it last... Vincent stayed out for about 2 minutes.. apparently it was way to cold.. the other 2 played longer, then Allison went back out again.. she really loved it!..

New baby boy..

I got to meet this new baby boy and his mommy and daddy not to long ago.. he wanted nothing with sleeping, nothing really worked to get him to close his eyes to get those cute sleepy pictures that I love so much, but he taught me that I love the wide awake newborn pics as much as the other ones.. :)
Here are a few of my favorites.

Big brother, baby brother...

Well, I'm finally hooked to the internet from my work computer... the house is far from been done, but I keep telling my self: "baby steps"... :)

I'm sharing today this session that I had a couple of weeks ago with big brother, baby brother and pretty momma... I've known them for a while so it was nice that I got to do this for them... Baby wanted nothing with sleep, he just wanted to eat... and big brother was a lot more excited about Sesame Street than me.. but we managed to get some cute shots...

and big brother.. yup, he's been at the top of my blog for a while.. :)

I LOVE mom and baby shots.. they are just so sweet!!

ok, now back to unpacking.. ;)

Chaotic times...

Crazy times in the Van Epps Household... We've moved to another house, looking for a better school district for the kids... we found a cute house in an awesome neighborhood, closer to where all my cool clients are, so that's a plus too.. :)
So as you can imagine I've been a little bit busier than usual.. packing a house is not fun, specially with my "helpful" little ones. We got to the house yesterday and now I live in a house full of boxes.. :) the kids are having a blast though.. lol
I've been working non stop, in fact I was lucky today to be part of a baptism of a sweet little girl.. I have TONS of pics to share, but I haven't put together my work computer so they'll need to wait a little bit longer.. right now I'm in my laptop, I don't like to not post often so here I am. I promise I'll be back soon with more sessions to share!.. :)

So about sessions, March is filling up FAST!.. I have very little space available now, April is open. Contact me if you would like to schedule a session for the spring.

Anyway, because there is no post without pictures, here are a couple from the last few days.. I'm sorry if the colors are off, the screen in the laptop is not good and I have no idea how the pics look..
My babies having fun with some boxes!.. I don't understand why we need to spend tons of money in toys if a box brings hrs and hrs of fun!!

And our new house with tons of boxes that need to move from there.. my daughter is posing LOL... did I mention that I LOVE the light in the house?!!? there are windows everywhere!.. I LOVE it!!..

Thank you and keep visiting the blog because I'll be back soon!!.. :)

sweet baby girl..

I met with this family a couple of weeks ago, they are welcoming a brand new baby girl who is 3 months old now.. You can totally tell how much she's loved by everybody..

Baby girl has a gorgeous big sister..

who loves to play the guitar...

and loves to have her as a baby sister...

They are a beautiful family..

Can I brag a little bit?

So the voice about my photography passion reached all the way to my hometown in Mexico and during my visit this past December I was asked by a magazine to talk a little bit about it so they could do an article about me. This magazine, "Esphera Social", is about the people from Oaxaca. We met at a local park and we had a little photo shoot and talked a little bit of what I do.. I was nervious about me in the other side of the camera.. but it was fun!.. they captured me doing what I love too :)

I'm sure my mommy is walking around with her copy of the magazine.. ;)
