.stop and smell the daisies. lisa maksoudian-san luis obispo baby photographer

in the hustle and bustle of my days i’ve missed the regular posting of my sweet little friends.  miss A has grown so much since we first met in june…and we caught up a few weeks ago to capture some pictures with daddy.  in all of my life i’ve never seen a baby grow so fast!   her auburn hair was double-y rich, her eyes even more bright, and her smile way beyond sweet!  

before the weekend, i though i’d share one of my favorite images:    “stop and smell the daisies”.   i need to do that a little more often…

.hopskotch mini sessions-take 1.

i’m just dying to showcase the gorgeous wedding i shot last week…but had to take a moment to say:  the hopskotch mini session, round 1, was over-the-top amazing!  about 18-20 of the MOST adorable little came (ON TIME!) to play with me and my camera yesterday.  it was heaven!  and just as many kiddos are on a waiting list, so we’ll be announcing the second and final mini sessions for the 08 within the next couple of weeks.  here’s just one from the day…

.modern flush mount album. lisa maksoudian-kids photographer

oh, i’m preparing some DARLING sneak peaks right now!  but to hold you over, here are a couple of images of a modern flush mount album (also called a digital album or a coffee table book).  i love these as each spread can feature multiple pictures….it’s really your own custom storybook!  these are WAY cool!  

(uggs and a bohemian skirt…it doesn’t get much better than that!  and those eyes…i swear they are for real!)

(do you see that silly face on the left?  is that not classic, ‘small but mighty’!?!  and on the right…i think the heaven’s open up when she smiles!)

seriously, he is THAT cool!  (and cute…but i don’t think he wants me to say that…)  🙂

this album is so fun…page by page…more personality, more fun times.  and then you open to this panorama…ahhhh!!!!  it’s just my favorite!

.attention all babies & kiddos in san luis obispo.

****note the date has changed to saturday, august 30th****

(…and surrounding areas!)  introducing the first ever ‘Lisa Maks Mini’!   okay, let me say it a bit more straightforward:   i’m excited to announce a very unique session called a ‘mini session’…to be held at the most adorable children’s clothing store, Hopskotch Kids!  

what is a mini session?  it’s a short & sweet (20 minutes) but oh-so-fun chance to have your child photographed sporting their summer blond curls and sweet smiles in a unique setting.  (it’s also a chance to take your kiddo’s pictures in their new school clothes before the knees wear thin and the colors fade!)

sessions are scheduled every half hour in which we’ll capture as much fun and personality as possible. perfect for children ages 3 months and up…

what is included?  you’ll receive an exclusive 10×10 or 11×14 Art Print of your child (samples shown here). an online gallery of approx. 10 images will be created from which you may order additional prints.  

AND for those who spend $50 on the adorable clothing at Hopskotch you’ll receive an additional 5×7 print!

baby D…well he’s just a bundle of pure love.  apparently we’re still waiting on teeth…i *puffy heart* those gummy smiles…and luscious lips…and amazing eyes!   thanks for letting me play with you, little brothers.
