This is sweet Sophia and yes she smiled for me :) she is already learning at a very young age of 2 weeks old to smile for her photographer... I just love when I get those cute little smiles and I do have to say they are pretty rare for a newbie especially this big. Go ahead and smile because I know you can't help it when you look at this first picture....

Come help save the homeless animals and get your furry critters picture taken!

Angels are waiting...

2011-03-11T09:07:00.000-08:00

This was another difficult and touching shoot that truly saddened my heart. Bliss is 9 months old and has a healthy twin baby sister named Emily, she was diagnosed with a rare condition called Hdrosyphilitus, which means she was born with out a brain and has been given only days left to live. She had been hospitalized for 5 months for various surgeries to drain fluid from her little head. Sadly her body is now starting to shut down and this is when I was called to capture this precious little angel. Please keep Bliss and her family in your prayers as his is the most difficult thing any parent could go through and pray that Bliss goes peacefully.

My newest lil' rescue

2011-02-13T20:53:00.000-08:00

Well the other day I was brought a little 3.5lb Chihuahua by one of my dear clients and she is such a cutie as you can see. What I love is she truly knows how to work the camera, I mean just look at her, she even got bored at one point and yawned like come on lady can we get this picture stuff over with I have a 2 o-clock pedicure appt. :) Actually these shots took less than 5 minutes because she truly is a pro at doggie modeling. Oh my I see myself getting attached already... it is so hard being with an animal rescue at times because I want them all...

we did a self portrait :)

My cutie pie... Upland Children Photography

2011-01-31T21:02:00.000-08:00

Javyn... As I look at these images I keep thinking to myself, geeesssseee time flies, she is growing up so fast and it freaks me out because I don't think I will ever be ready for teenage years, help me!! I just love these images of her, let's just say it's her serious side which is not very often because she is always walking around with a smile on her face : )

Love you JJ ...

We are family too... Upland Family Photographer

2011-01-12T09:24:00.001-08:00

I love when I get a call and they say "can our dogs be in the session" oooohhhh yes, yes and I always incourge it because my belief is all furry critters are family too ok maybe not even furry I love retiles, birds, goats, cows ok you get the idea anytype of animal is welcome so never hesitate to have them join in your session. Like I always say if they won't eat me for lunch bring them along.... I mean really you can bring in your cow, if I can fit a motorcyle I can fit a cow : )

Ok now look at these cutest picts of these three doggies and of course of their cute parents too...

Denea - maternity photography in Upland,CA

2011-01-09T20:03:00.000-08:00

What an exciting time it is to be a-waiting baby...I know it was for me and I will never forget the moment my sweet baby girl was born and I held her for the first time, there is truly no other feeling like it and love you feel is stronger than no other. I am so excited for Denea becasue she will feel the same as I did like most mamas when she sees her precious baby for the first time, and everyday she will feel like the luckiest person on earth the moment she lays eyes on her little bundle of joy.

I can't wait to photograph all of the baby parts, sleepy poses and expressions of baby too be...

Baby Chloe

2010-07-30T23:29:00.000-07:00

When I received the call from Steven's Hope for Children that Carol (mommy) was flying out here from Hawaii to stay in one of their apartments and wanted to have maternity pictures taken while she was out here waiting for the birth of her baby girl who they knew was going to be born with a heart problem called (Hypo-Plastic Left Heart Syndrome) this is a condition where the heart is only half developed, I knew this was going to be a shoot I would never forget.

This is when donating my time feels the most rewarding and I can't tell you how much it touches my heart to be able to give a gift like this to families like Carol and Cy (daddy).

Chloe was born on June 11th, 2010 and was whisked away and hooked up to several different machines right after birth. I then went to Loma Linda hospital a couple of days later to take these images of Chloe, mommy and daddy in the NICU. On June 16th she had to have her first of three series of heart surgeries and then a couple of weeks after that she had to go in for another surgery for her Paraesophagael Hiatal Hernia and Midgut Malrotation. She is currently still in the hospital and is fighting everyday to get better. Please say a pray for her and that she will be able to go home soon with mommy and daddy.

Cruz...

Another fun day at True Emotions Photography studio!! What a blast we had getting these pictures of these two little snook-ems, I was literally worn out after this one, we were running around the studio and rolling my big bean bag chair back and forth and that was when I got those adorable happy shots... If you take a look you will see Cruz who just turned 13 mos and if you have looked at my blog before you will see little Ms. Ava who I have photographed several times now, she is actually a pro at taking pictures now and is always one step ahead me saying cheeeeessseeeee.....

spring is in the air... upland, ca family and children photographer

2010-03-30T22:00:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Easter is just around the corner, I was thinking wow I didn't even advertise for Easter pictures, as you can see I am not to good at the marketing thing and I promise to work on that.. I took these pictures of my daughter yesterday for Easter in our front yard.. I just love this time of year, all the flowers in our yard are going crazy and yes all I see is photo opportunity after another, uuuhh!! So many things to photograph so little time, what to do!! My daughter has got the posing thing down now so this shoot took us no more than 7 minutes but I just thought I should show off her baby blues... or greens, I still can't figure out what the heck her color of eyes are....

Baby sister too be... Upland Maternity Photographer

2010-02-18T14:07:00.000-08:00

Someone is going to be a big brother and you will see just how happy he is to have a new baby sister coming and that would be the lil' cutie pie Mitchell you see in these pictures... I know that this shoot was suppose to be a maternity shoot but how can you help yourself not to take pictures when you have a cutie like him throwing one pose after another at you, I mean am I suppose to just pretend I didn't seem them?? Uuuummm I don't think so......

I just love this family and this beautiful mommy happens to be my doggies doctor and she is just amazing. We truly had a great time doing this shoot and Mitchell just lit up the room with all his cute-ness and made it that much more special!

When I got the call from Brandi and Omar that they wanted to bring in their newborn baby girl and that daddy was a fireman, I got all happy inside because how cute is it to have your precious baby lay inside of daddy's fireman helmet... yes I know you can say it too "very cute"...

Julie and Samantha - Upland Family photographer, Claremont,CA photographer

2010-01-14T20:59:00.000-08:00

Yes... I know that I am only suppose to post a few images of each photo shoot on my blog but I find it entirely difficult to do so.... especially when your subjects are so purdy like this mommy (Julie) and daughter (Samantha).

Samantha was so much fun, she truly has a way with the camera and of course her beautiful mom (Julie) was just as awesome. I will never forget this shoot because while we were walking back to the car we noticed a little stray dog running down the street and of course me the animal lover had to go and try and save him, so here I am running with my camera in one hand and my camera bag in another and not to mention crummy running shoes, I must have ran a half a mile until the little guy out ran me, poor Julie and Samantha probably thought I was never coming back, but the good thing is the neighbor of the dogs owner was following him in their car of which was much faster than running... Hey I at least deserve an A for effort!!

Baby Aidan - Newborn Photography, Los angeles, orange county newborn photography

2010-01-12T17:19:00.000-08:00

Welcome Baby Aidan....

Oh-my-gosh, oh my gosh.... yes I know you all are saying the same thing right now and that this baby boy is just adorable... This is baby Aidan who was almost a Christmas baby, he was born on Dec 22nd. I was so excited when I got the call from Denise and John "mommy & daddy" that he was ready to come in for his photo shoot, I have been waiting for 9 mos for this day or I should say longer because I knew when I photographed Denise and Johns wedding their was going to be a baby someday. Aidan was the first baby that I got you use my new Baby Cocoon and cool blankies with and he is also the first baby I have ever had come in and not want to wake up, we tried and tried to get this lil' guy to wake up so we could take pictures of his beautiful eyes, but he only gave me a peep once or twice, he-he!!! I had such a great time photographing this cute little bundle of joy. Congrats John and Denise!!!

Happy Birthday too me!!! - Claremont,CA family photographer

2010-01-07T20:28:00.000-08:00

I just love, love this family!! I have been lucky enough to meet this family and take their annual pictures for the past couple of years. On the day I did this shoot it just so happen to be my birthday and what a way to start my day... as I was walking up to greet them they all started to sing Happy Birthday to me right in front of that big beautiful building you will see below, let me just say I had a BIG smile on my face and "probably red in the face" and as I stood there I was thinking to myself just how blessed I am to be able to wake up everyday a do what I love most!

Pictures for a cause... Pet Portraits, Upland,CA pet photography

2009-09-27T10:03:00.000-07:00

I would like to welcome the 2010 HOPE Calendar models... As most of you know I am with HOPE (Helping Out Pets Everyday) I have been VP of this Non-Profit Organization for over 5 years and I couldn't ask to be with a better organization, we have so many wonderful volunteers and of course the cuties and best est rescues... One of my favorite things I get to do every year is take pictures of some of our once homeless cats and dogs and put them in our annual calendar, our calendars are our largest fundraiser and we really try to spread the word so we can raise more money to save more homeless animals lives like these ones you see here... Some of cats and dogs were in the Upland Animal Shelter and were not doing to well, some needed surgery and medical care and because of HOPE they were able to get a second chance and live the life they all deserve.

Each calendar is a donation of $10 and if you or anyone you know might like to get one of these cute calendars I know someone that can hook you up : ) They are very professional looking and come shrink wrapped just like off the store shelf.

Are you hungry??? Chuck Wagon BBQ, Pomona,CA photography

2009-09-27T09:21:00.000-07:00

Like I said I LOVE photographing food.... and yes you know it I had some of this good grub during and after the shoot, I look at it like hey most of it's protein and we wouldn't want it to go to waste right : )

This is food prepared by the CHUCK WAGON, if you have been to any of the fairgrounds in California I am sure you have seen or better yet eaten at their place, they make the best BBQ food ever and the picture of the cornbread with chocolate, ohhhh yea very yummy!!

We did this photo shoot so they can re-vamp their vendor booth and menu, and wow wait till you see how it turned out, these are just a some of the delicious pictures of their food they serve and if you look towards the bottom of this you will see the finial product. Every picture on the menu and large vendor stand is mine down to the bull scull and wagon wheel. I was so impressed with the larger than life pictures of BBQ ribs and all...

Don't forget to stop by the Chuck Wagon at the LA Fair right next to the red bard where the live animals are. Tell them I sent you!!!

Getting a Hair cut...

2009-09-23T23:18:00.000-07:00

Ok I may have gone a little crazy with the photos of my daughter Javyn getting her hair cut, but it was a special day for her... she grew her hair out so that she could donate it to Locks of Love.
My awesome hair stylest Esther at Bella Bella Hair Boutique in Pasadena did an amazing job as usual. I have been going to Esther for over 10 years and if you or anyone you know need their hair done you need not to look anymore... And by the way I will be soon doing the same thing as Javyn just as soon as my hair grows past my knees, JK!!

This is the Hecht Family and their new addition Alaina... she was only a week old when they brought her in the studio, Andrea and Adam had actually came into the studio a couple of years ago to do maternity pictures and at that time their son was a bun in the oven and then they came into the studio when Aidan was a couple of weeks old and we got amazing shots of him in his daddy's fireman helmet, and then out of no where I get a call that we are having a baby girl!!!

Wings & Things

2009-09-12T19:26:00.000-07:00

Yummmyy!! Time to time I do some shoots that I normally don't do, like for instance chicken wings, HA!!! These are pictures I took for the company for their new vendor booth they have at the fairgrounds, you will see the end results towards the bottom, and wow it feels real weird to stand next to a picture of a chicken wing that you took pictures of only because it is now ten times as big as you... I always enjoy photographing food because I always get to eat some when I am done : )
If you haven't visited Wings & Things at the OC Fair or LA County fair you need to try their wings especially the lemon pepper wings, out of this world!!

I couldn't have asked for a better sunset during this engagement session... now if I could just get that everytime I go to HB I would be a a happy camper... or should I say photographer, there is no time for camping here even though I love to rough it... These two are so adorable and I loved the dress Kory chose to wear, there is a picture where the wind caught the tail end of her dress and it was one of those "I got lucky with that shot"...

Alyssa and Leah - newborn twins Upland newborn photography, new

2009-07-12T22:39:00.000-07:00

There are no words to explain just how touched I was when photographing these two precious twin baby girls Alyssa and Leah, I was doing a shoot for Pomona Valley Hospital and there was Jolene (mommy) sitting in the NICU between both baby girls and I thought to myself what an amazing woman she was. Alyssa and Leah were born preemies and were kept in NICU for several months and I could not imagine what someone goes through and the feeling to have to have your two little angels in the hospital and for so long. I was so happy when I got the call from Jolene that the girls were home and ready for their photo shoot... They both were such good babies during the shoot and I had such an amazing time with them and felt so honored in having the opportunity to capture everything from their little expressions, moments and toes...

Some of this.. some of that...

You don't get any cuter than this....

Ava has visited my studio twice now and I just have to say she is one cutie... She was ready to take pictures the minute she came in and wow!!! what a little poser, I love it! ... she did this on her own as you know you can not get a two year old to hold this pose below, so lets just say I got lucky once again with her. When you come into my studio this photo of her holding her belly with a great big smile is the first thing you see when you come in, and the reason why is because I want every person that walks in to have a smile on their face and it works everytime...

I think these photos will put a smile on your face too...

This was such a beautiful photo shoot that took place in the mountains of Claremont, Ca. Loreta is not only a my dearest friend but is also has been my assistant and now that she is on maternity leave I am going crazy at the studio without her... I can't wait to meet her beautiful baby girl.

Thank you for being such a great sport Loreta, I know it's not easy hiking and crossing streams when you have a bump in the front of you... You look absolutley beautiful!!!

Sandy Puc - Tot's and Teen's Seminar

NEWPORT BEACH, CA.
03.17.2009

I had such a great time with my girlies at the Sandy Puc Tot's and Teen's seminar... Of course we had to take some pictures of us. These are the gals who help keep me inspired and motivated to do the best I can do in my photography business. Jacque, Sophia and I all went to Tri Community School of Photography way back in the day and that is where we met... and who would have known we all would be running our own photography businesses. Every girl in the pictures are amazing women and photographers and I am truly blessed to have them be apart of my life.

We had such a great time and learned so much at this seminar. We also had a great lunch as you will see...didn't get to drink green beer, but I have a feeling I didn't miss out on much. I have decided to do in studio framing starting April 1, 2009 and also carry a new line of fun and exciting albums.

Until next time...

What a beautiful day!!! I couldn't believe that this day was over 80 degrees at the beach in the middle of January...I felt so honored in having the opportunity to photograph Patrick and Courtney's wedding, I was lucky enough to have photographed Courtney's sister wedding in Temecula a couple of years ago and I will never forget when they said to me " you will be photographing our wedding someday" and here it is... Patrick and Courtney picked this beautiful location in Laguna Beach on a cliff that over looks the Ocean...

Someone wanting to be center of attention... typical kitty!!!

Ok.. I know I said I was going to keep this blog updated and interesting and you probably thought I fell of the face of the earth.. So very sorry!!! I have had so much going on, and one being that I have been sick with this horrible flu that is going around, it had me down for about two weeks, however I am happy to say that I am feeling better and now trying to get back into the swing of things, like updating my blog, uuhh!!

I just had to share some pictures I took of the most precious little baby boy named Eric Jr., he and his parents " Eric and Elizabeth brought this bundle of joy into the studio for his first photo shoot. He was such a good baby and made my job so easy. I had so much fun with them... Take a look at these adorable pix...

I just love this couple and feel so honored in having the opportunity to photograph their beautiful wedding, they were such a fun couple and not mention gorgeous which only makes my job that much easier.. You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day and picturesque place, they chose to have their wedding hidden deep in the hills at a private Villa in Santa Paula, Ca. I could have kept photographing them the entire day, but I had to let them go at sometime to join their party, HA!!! You could see in every smile that they were so in love as you will see in the pictures.

I want to thank my friends Jacqueline Lopez and Loreta Washington for their help in shooting this spectacualr wedding!!! what a day....

their dog ci-ci, i couldn't resist

Here It Is!!!!

Yipee... I just accomplished my first "New Years Resolution", I finally have a BLOG. Yes I know I am behind the times but I DID IT!!! and I am going to try my best to keep it updated and interesting. I hope you all will check back from time to time to see what's going on in my neck of the woods and to see some beautiful pictures. And of course I have to start out with sharing pictures of my most favorite subject.... my 6 yr old daughter Javyn.

I wanted to take some pictures of her for our Christmas card and it ended up being a full photo shoot in two different locations, I couldn't help myself... you would almost think we traveled across the world to get these pictures that almost have a old fashion European look to them, but I am happy to say that they were taken just right up the street from my studio...

You will also see another one of my favorite subjects but this one is furry and small and this is my dog Billy, he is a ham for the camera or maybe he looks at me like the way he does because I am constantly saying "you want a cookie"??? Ha.. poor thing...

Stay tuned for more to come!!
