Beautiful Day Photography’s Weblog

Of course my BLOGS are SO out of order!  I have been SO slammed the past few weeks with family visiting and weddings, that I am trying to catch up on my BLOGGING..SORRY!

But here starts when my Mami came to visit from Virginia for her birthday weekend.  I had a LOT planned for her, but I ALSO had a lot of shoots and work to do…so I just brought my mom to ALL of my shoots as my assistant this week…and THIS shoot being one of them.  It actually was PERFECT, because little Malena, her mother Theresa and father Steven live in gorgeous Ojai California, so the drive up was amazing for my mother.  We took the famous PCH up the coast and it TRULY was a glorious day.

I’m really glad my mother was there at the shoot, because when we first got there Malena was NOT happy being dressed up for a photo shoot.  It took hours to coax her down and my mom being a veteran and all:) was REALLY helpful during the shoot with dealing with Malena.  She also served as my light blocker and my muse to make Malena laugh…LOL she DEFINITELY did not know what she was in store for, but  think she really has learned to appreciate what all goes into my photography and in the last couple years she has been able to witness me in action.

With that being said, little Malena TRULY is a special child.  She just glows and Theresa feels that she is spiritually gifted.  After hearing the story of her birth, she REALLY is a miracle child to even be here.  Steven and Theresa are a very Zen, spiritual couple and spending the day with them out in nature was yet another reason why I LOVE what I do:)  Here is a little preview of our shoot…Little Malena DEFINITELY was happiest when she was running around naked…TOO funny!
