BABY BLANE // NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER // NEWBORN // GRASS VALLEY, CA

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing the cutest little newborn baby boy.

This is baby Blane!!

When I was asked to photograph Blane I was so excited! I mean look at those lips, and those huge hands and feet! He was such a cuddle bug who really wanted us to leave him alone! He was so content cuddled up in his mama’s arms.

Once he was settled and asleep, we flew through the poses!

This session took place in the privacy of the clients own home, located in Grass Valley, CA — mid afternoon.

NOTHING MORE SINCERE THAN A MILITARY LOVE // NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER // AUBURN, CA

I recently held a contest on Instagram (@BellaRosaPhotography)  for all of my followers; Jessica and John were the lucky winners!! The timing could not have been any more perfect. John is part of the United States Marine Corps and was scheduled to come home for two weeks right as the contest was ending!

This session was absolutely beautiful, you could feel the love between them. The poses just flew so naturally, from one to another. I was so thrilled to photograph a man in uniform, this was a first for me! I LOVED it!  For the remainder of August, I will be giving 20% off print packages for all US military members and veterans, thank you for all that you do for this country!

This photo shoot took place in Auburn, CA in the early morning hours.

“Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.”
