SunnyMelon- Los Angeles Baby, Infant, Maternity Photography http://sunnymelon.com/blog Wed, 04 Feb 2009 21:09:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 en Hello, welcome everyone! http://sunnymelon.com/blog/?p=108 http://sunnymelon.com/blog/?p=108#comments Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:00:00 +0000 Josie http://sunnymelon.wordpress.com/?p=8 profile_piciconMy name is Josie from Los Angeles and welcome to my blog. I’m a first time mother of a baby girl named Reiya.

I am originally a boudoir/fashion shooter but I soon became a fan of professional baby photography when I became pregnant. I then came across a reign of top photographers across nation. Most are rich in experience and also a wonderful mother, thus influenced me to capture timeless pieces of my own.

I’m specializing in lifestyle, journalism style approach to traditional family portraits and baby photography. That being said, I’m not one  to limit myself on what I can create. So, my work will cover various themes with various equipment.

In reality, a real big chunk of time was taken from me and Reiya, thus resulting from my hiatus. A sense of guilt and neglect has bought me to this post; attempting to balance the both, sigh*
She’s 4.5 months here and teething, eek!

I just adore her strawberry colored hair and big, round eyes. This little waddle’r is not easy to keep up with, but it’s way worth the track run, hehe. I wouldn’t know how to say “no” to that face, it must be a difficult thing to do for mom and dad!

It was a great way to socialize Reiya to other babies and we had a great time doing so. The food was delicious(thank you Jessica & David) and everyone was really friendly. Here are some story boards I put together for each family I had the pleasure to meet.

Elizabeth was such a sweet baby with big, beautiful eyes. Only 2.5 months and already babbling away.

What a beautiful fam bam, you can see how much they enjoy each others company!


Then finally Gabriel. He was such a silly, bright boy. He loves doing raspberries and it looks hilarious.

The small windows make incredible moody lighting especially in the early afternoons. I could not wait to put her down to play so I can show you what I see!

We are still co-sleeping and that’s why there is still no bedding in her crib, heh.

Reiya is now 4 months! I miss my little newborn…

Here’s my second take on the bath tub photos. I was shooting 4 frames/second to maximize time.

Time to shape up and begin the year fresh. My resolution is to improve on my technical and business skills(and maybe get out more). I’ll hold on to that and see where that takes me.

Us playing in bed. These pants are so cute, I got it off Ebay!

She manages to keep her head out of the water and starts yanking her legs like a frog, splashing water all over me.
I love that sight of her and got a chance to take these pictures, but of course my hubby had to do the honors while I snap away. As usual, I only have 2-7 minutes of time and didn’t get a good shot of her looking up, doh!

3.8 months old here. The pink tub makes water look like strawberry milk!
Again, lighting used with window only. ISO 800

I have always admired the polished, hollywood classic appeal. Together timeless in portraiture.



I’ve been waiting to use this bonnet for pictures!  She’s 3.6 months old here.
