Emerson - October 2011

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Emerson. She was just 7 months old and has the most beautiful blue eyes! Her mom, Dawn contacted me after reading prayfornathan.org 

She saw some photos I recently took of Gryffin and saw that I was also an Occupational Therapist. She thought it would be a great match since Emerson is developmentally delayed. 

This was Emerson's very first photo shoot and she was fabulous!

Here are some of my favorites:

 

 

 

 

The whole family was such a pleasure... Even Daisy, the first born in the family!

And little Emerson was a "rock star", even when she fell asleep!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

This week end, we went to pick out our Christmas tree, despite the rain. 

This has become a family tradition. 

We all go together and decide which is the best tree for our family. 

We always purchase a Noble Fur; the branches are a little more sturdy than the 

Douglas Fur and holds heavier ornaments.

This year, we found a beautiful Noble Fur of about 8 feet tall, that we all liked.

After stringing the lights, I let the kids hang the ornaments; 

It didn't take long before it was completely decorated!

Here are a few pictures:

A few more years and Nicholas will be old enough to string the lights

and all three of them will be able to hang the ornaments on their own...

All I'll have to do is to supervise!

But in the meantime, I enjoy spending time with the family,

decorating the tree, baking, or wrapping presents...

It puts me in the spirit of the holidays!

The Scaglione Family - December 2010

Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of photographing

my good friends, the Scagliones. 

I have know them for so many years and have taken so many candid photos of them over the years... 

But this was the first time that they hired me 

to do their family portraits.

It was a rainy day and we had to wait under the umbrellas 

for a little while before mother nature finally cooperated. 

Here are a few of my favorites:

It was so much fun to photograph this family... I am sure you will see more of them on this Blog in the future. In the meantime, you can see more from this session at:

Fall 2010

Every year, during the month of October, we go and visit Lombardi Ranch in Santa Clarita, CA.

The kids and myself love to walk through Scarecrow Alley

and see all the entries for the Scarecrow contest.

We also love to go through the corn maze and take a train ride around the ranch.

Their is always music from a live band and lots of fun food like shaved ice and corn on the cob.

But for me, it's always a great opportunity to photograph the kids!

Unfortunately, this year, Nicholas wasn't able to make it... Soccer games! But I had a great time with Anthony and Christina and captured some great shots of the two of them:

We had a lot of fun, just the three of us... We also got to pick out some great pumpkins to carve into Jack O' Lanterns and bought some fresh corn on the cob to take home!

Yareli - June 2010

This was a challenging but fun photo shoot:
Yareli, who is just 2 years old, is a real "busy body"!
She does not stop for one minute and is very independent.
I had to be creative, and adapt quickly to the situation. But with a few props and mom's help, I was able to capture Yareli's personality and got quite a few good images...
Here are some of my favorites:

I love photographing children! Especially little ones who can be more challenging... To see more of my work, please visit my website at: www.nathalieseguinphotography.com

Me and my Girl!

A few weeks ago,
while the boys were at soccer practice,
I took these photos of Christina and myself.
It was fun but a little tricky
since I had to use the timer.
But overall, not a bad result
(except for the last one which was an experiment).

Stay tuned for more self portraits in the near future...
