The Evan's Family/Newborn Session - Baby Chloe

This is long overdue, as I have gotten far behind on my blogging lately and Chloe's session was a month ago! 

I  truly enjoyed baby Chloe's newborn session! She was such an angel to photograph!  I especially  love capturing those first days of bringing home a baby for a family, it truly goes by in the blink of an eye so it's so wonderful to be able to have photographs to look back at. I know the first few days are full of sleep deprivation (well really the first year, ha) and family visiting , feedings and constant diaper changes , trying to  get into some sort of normal routine (if possible) - but if you can squeeze in an hour for a photographer to come capture this beautiful chaos , it's well worth it!

Thanks to the Evan's family for allowing me in your home to meet your new little bundle of joy ! 

xoxo,

Cori

Chloe Moore // Photographer based in Manhattan Beach

Meet my beautiful photog friend Chloe! She's an incredibly talented wedding photographer in Manhattan Beach. We decided to grab some coffee and chat about photography stuff while exploring around Orange County . Check out these photos of her . We wanted to capture her love for her new Contax baby  (film) . My favorite part about photographing her is that contagious smile! No joke, she's a funny gal with SO much joy!  
Thanks Chloe for accompanying me and allowing me the privilege to shoot you!

{ M a t t + L a u r e n } // E n g a g e m e n t // Newport Beach Engagement Session

It doesn't matter what time of year it is, Newport Beach is always a gorgeous place for light & love and a perfect location for a Southern California engagement session. This fun couple {Matt & Lauren} wanted simplicity for their session so that the main focus could be their affection for one another and connection to the beach location. This lifeguard tower 10 is where they spent most of their days as a dating couple before being engaged . It is a sentimental location for them as they embark on new adventures as a married couple and new fur baby parents! 

THE PROPOSAL 

"After dating for Two and a half years Matt knew that he was ready to pop the big question. They had discussed a trip to New York with Matt's roommate Carl to visit their friend Jay. Matt knew this would be the perfect location. While Matt was busy planning and buying the ring, he had Jay walk through Central Park to scout out the perfect spot. With Jay's help the plan was finalized.

After spending 3 days in the city site seeing, touring, and enjoying time with friends the big day had arrived. They headed out to walk through Central Park with a group of friends. They were on their way to brunch at the Lighthouse in the middle of the park. When they arrived at the Oak bridge that Jay scouted out, Matt gave the "code word" to his friends to let them know he was about to propose so they could video and take photos of the event. While on the bridge posing for pictures, Matt caught Lauren by surprise and got down on one knee. As you all know, Lauren said YES!"

Sunset BABY BUMP session! //  Crystal Cove // Orange County Maternity Session // Jen + Chris + 1

This incredible sunset maternity session had me in complete AWE while shooting! These two lovebirds snuggled as the sun went down and told me all about how they read every night to Aniston (their soon-to-be first baby GIRL) … What better way to remember this then by capturing them reading together to her on the beach? This session was full of this soon-to-be mammas beautiful reflections along the shore with killer light and ocean front cliffs, honesty beyond breathtaking! . .  AND . .  not that it isn't COMPLETELY obvious , BUT,  how gorgeous is this mamma?! Just wow! One of my favorite baby bump sessions to date! Jen & Chris thank you for the incredible opportunity to capture this time in your lives and I can't wait to meet baby Aniston soon!
