Merry Christmas!!

A  part of me thinks it’s so unreal how quick Christmas comes every year and this year is no exception. Around our home  the kids thought this year’s highlight would be  the e-readers/tablets but as it turns out there’s a special four legged furry friend that barks being welcome to the family!! Pictures of him to come.

What a year it has been! This year has been packed with lots of different weddings & special events,  and we are very glad to have been the ones to capture so many of life’s unique little moments that make it memorable.  The thing that always seems to amaze photographers about being able to capture so many different things on camera is that no wedding or special event is exactly the same. People’s personalities come alive in photographs, and even their very thoughts seem to be reflected in the way that they look into the camera. We want to thank you for giving us the one of a kind experience of photographing you and we want to take the time to wish you a Merry Christmas 2011!!

Bella turns 1 | Orange County Photographer | Costa Mesa Family Photography Session

 

She’s all grown up now. I have photographed her for 5 session since she was born, yep 5 sessions and all have been pretty remarkable as far seeing her growth and changes and this last one is no different. She’s always been a smiling baby and always very happy go lucky. I’ll be preparing a beautiful flushmount album “my first year photos” from all the session. BTW, this couple is so cool, very gracious and loving the family bond that they have is so strong, it’s beautiful to see it. Enjoy!

If this is not a precious baby I truly don’t know what is! So adorable!! Look at that baby skin!  If you’ve seen some of my older posts you may recognize this precious gift from above from my previous sessions with her. Been photographing her as a newborn, at 3months and now at 6months. I’ll be posting more from the session later in the week.

2.14.2010 – Need I say anymore?

Valentines is Sunday, love it!! Not only am I celebrating it with my baby, but I also get to photograph 5 couples on Sunday at a local spot in OC for the first complimentary Mini-Engagement session of 2010.  Looking forward to posting some of photos on the blog.  If you’re one of the couples who have signed up, weather forecast should be sunny and 71 so barring any last minute weather changes the shoot is on, look for an email confirming the times you’ve already agreed to.    If you’re a couple just reading about this for the first time and if you think this might interest you and your FH, email me for info about our next scheduled session to  info@johnprado.com.

Happy Valentine wishes

You know what to do guys!
