.girlfriends on the beach. lisa maksoudian-pismo beach photographer

sometimes you just get lucky.   like being at the right place…at the right time…with the right people…on the most magnificent morning of all time!  last friday morning, around 6:22 (i know the exact minute because i was 7 minutes late) the heavens opened up.  seriously, there was lightening, CRAZY thunder, and a downpour of rain. add in two of the most beautiful little girls ever.  frolicking on the beach together.  finding a feisty old crab and a gazillion sand dollars.  it was pure magic.  and on top of all that, i happened to bring my camera.  like i said, sometimes you just get lucky!

.my little fashionista. lisa maksoudian-modern kids photographer

i’m back!  can i just tell you how much i miss this little chica?  seriously beautiful, completely smart and totally spunky.  we had all the pictures we needed in like 30 minutes…but were having so much fun that we continued to romp around the yard and the neighborhood.  without further adieu, here are a few more sneak peeks of my little fashionista!

we picked a rose from the garden…and it immediately exploded!  so, what did we do?  tossed them in the air and had so much fun!   

mom wanted to get pictures of this sweet toothless smile.  what a great idea…it’s priceless!
this dandelion picture is probably one of my favorite…so serene.  and i adore miss M’s profile.american dolls are sooo fun!  check out these matching outfits!  i have to say, though, the doll had her front teeth…  🙂

.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!

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.

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.
