Welcome to My Blog! - Orange County, California Newborn, Maternity Photographer
Hi my name is Clarice. I'm a mother, wife, photographer and graphic designer. I have always had a love for design and the arts. I never thought I would be able to learn the skills of a photographer but after being inspired by a local newborn photographer that photographed my son I knew I had to give it a shot. My children were my first subjects and continue to be my most popular subjects when they let me. ;-)
There is something about photography that connects me to my subjects that I cannot find in graphic design. I try to capture a tiny window to my subjects souls so that others may see what beauty lies within them.

Baby “P” was the first newborn I had the opportunity to photograph this year. This little beauty was a December baby and about 15 days old when I we had her session. Isn’t she adorable? Her Big Sis “A” was so friendly and so full of energy!

Gorgeous Mom to Be (Again) | Maternity Photography in Orange County

Isn’t this mom so beautiful? I loved hearing her and her husband talk about how they are still married after all these years. Yes, she is young and this is their second child. Their first child is already 12 years old. Isn’t that awesome? They were both so kind and so excited about their arrival. I can’t wait to meet their little girl! Just a little sneak peak for the “B” Family…

Just a little sneak peak for this fun expectant couple that I shot over the weekend. This beautiful couple is 37 weeks along. They are expecting their first darling baby. Sweet father to be was like spiderman when he went to check out the safety of this one spot. It was sorta like quick sand but he managed to climb those rocks pretty darn quick. lol. Luckily there was a spot for this mama to be to climb safely. I’m so glad there was cuz I just love this shot…she looks like she belongs here. Gorgeous spot for a gorgeous mom to be. I can’t wait to meet their beautiful baby girl! Thank you for letting me document this special moment!

Handsome Baby “K” at 9.5 Weeks | Orange County Baby Photographer
December 5, 2011
I loved this session with baby “K”. He was wide awake and didn’t want to miss one minute while I was there. His parents are amazing and have the greatest taste in names! This handsome little guy had the same name as my son! Their home was so beautiful that I wanted to capture that in their session. I love to include the evironment when I can.
Isn’t mom gorgeous?

Beautiful Newborn Baby “B” | Orange County Newborn Photography
November 29, 2011
You might remember this gorgeous baby girl from a sneak peak I did earlier? Really, when I saw her I just “gasped” at how beautifully perfect she was! I had to come back and show you a few more of my favorites from this newborn session because it wouldn’t be fair to keep them to myself!
Thank you for looking!

We recently returned from a wonderful vacation on the island of Kauai. One of my favorite places in the entire world. I spent most of my summers there while growing up and both my parents were born and raised on the island of Kauai. When my mom passed away several years ago we sprinkled her ashes there as this was her wish. The island is such a spiritual place for me. One early morning I took my kids to one of the beautiful beaches there and my daughter was just playing and walking on the beach. I took this capture and it has such an ethereal feel to it. I felt my sweet mom was watching over my darling daughter. They never had the chance to meet each other but I know my children would have adored her as much I did. My mom always wanted grandchildren and she pretty much gave up the idea as none of my sisters or I had children before she passed. I know she sees them everyday and is always with us in a higher sense. This image is a reminder to me of that. Thank you mom for being who you are….

I Won 1st Place! | Orange County Child Photographers
October 22, 2011
OMG!! So to my surprise I woke up and saw a pingback to iheartfaces.com and thought something was up. Well I had no idea I’d win 1st place! I’m so thrilled and excited! Thank you so much!!!
Special thanks to this week’s Guest Photographer Judge, Femi Corazon!
“There is a very delicate, sweet and soft quality to this portrait. It has a very painterly feel. I love the wisps of hair blowing around her face, her lovely expression and her body language expressed through her hands. This beautiful image makes me feel like I know this little girl. A perfect capture and beautiful post-processing.”

This is my sweet little daughter. I love her so much. She is so very beautiful inside and out. People comment on how beautiful she is on a daily basis but she has no idea what that means and I love that. So innocent. Anyhow, she is also a very good sport in modeling for me when I want to test out a new location or in this case test out a lens that I am considering on purchasing. These were all shot with a 135mml. Let me tell you that I am in love with this lens…please don’t tell my husband. LOL. The clarity is amazing and you can’t beat the bokeh on this baby.
Thank you for stopping by!
