Here are a few of my favorite pics from the Spoiled Beginnings mini-sessions.
We set up a mini-studio inside the store and shot all day! Thanks a ton to Ben and BJ for hosting the mini-session in their store! We look forward to doing it again in November!

Baby Photography Plans

We've known this couple since 2006 (after shooting their wedding) We've been lucky enough to keep in touch and have gotten to photograph their first and second sons. We met this little man as a newborn, and we'll see him again for his 6 and 12 month! If you've never heard of our baby plans, be sure to get in touch with me for more info.

We were so excited when the owners of Spoiled Beginnings asked us to do a wall display in their brand new store! Of course we said YES and then started brainstorming ideas. We ordered my favorite frames from Wild Sorbet and then added gallery wraps between the frames. The photos are going to be swapped out frequently to keep things fresh and current! :) Here are a bunch of shots of the wall (not the greatest light - but it will do) and some quick shots of some of their stuff they sell. You can buy online at www.spoiledbeginnings.com if you don't live in OC!





I love the text we put on the edge of this wrap. I had to do one for my own home to (with of course photos of my own baby).


I really like these wraps too! I designed the background - then had it wrap around the edges -


The cute little frames on the far left are called Trimlings - they come in sets of three




I like the wavy border and the "unfinished" look the frames have with the paint. They can be any custom color to match your baby's room too!




Love this bunk bed






This crib can have the panels change out - how cool is that?


LOVE the teal high chair.




Here is the information on them that they had for their press release:
Costa Mesa, Calif. – When they both lost their jobs shortly after the holidays, Ben and Billie Jo Spearing decided to become their own bosses in a unique business niche. As a result, Spoiled Beginnings, their new Costa Mesa baby furniture store, opens to the public Monday, April 6.
The store, conveniently located a half-mile from Hoag Hospital, will offer high quality furniture, with many brands currently only found in the Los Angeles area. Spoiled Beginnings will also carry strollers, luxury crib bedding, gliders, toys and gifts.
Ben’s prior employer closed its doors in late December, and soon after, Billie Jo’s employer of 10 years eliminated her position while she was on maternity leave with their newborn daughter.
The couple decided to seize an opportunity created by the struggling economy, and picked a field they know well from personal parenting experience with their own two small children. They felt they could relate to their customers, and pass on to other parents their own experiences with products they’ve been pleased with. “We know just how exciting it is for a couple to have a baby,” said Ben. “We want to share in their excitement and add to their fun.”
Some friends and family questioned the Spearings’ wisdom in risking a business startup in today’s economy. But the couple found leasing companies and property managers—also feeling the crunch—willing to work with them to acquire floor space. They say vendors and manufacturers, too, are willing to “bend” to get retailers to carry their products.
“Some people think we’re nuts for starting a business right now,” said Billie Jo, “but honestly, without this economy, we wouldn’t be able to fulfill this dream. The economy is exactly what is giving us this opportunity.”
Spoiled Beginnings will specialized in hard-to-find furniture brand names including Ragazzi, Nurseryworks, Litto Kids, and Argington, to name a few. The Spearings believe such quality products, plus the couple’s one-on-one customer service, is what will set them apart from other similar stores.
“Our selection of furniture is unique in itself, but we promise a completely different shopping experience than what you’re used to in the larger retail stores.” said Ben.

Can you get a cuter 6 month old? I don't know. She is pretty stinkin cute! Now if only she was sitting up by herself....that would have rocked the beach! At any rate - I still think we got some great stuff!



Want some candy at the candy shop - or a baby? :)


Her dad and mom are very good at this game if I remember correctly.

I love when couples come back after a few years! I did this little guys parents wedding at the Turnip Rose 5 days before I had my second son. They got pregnant pretty quickly and I got to photograph their first son...and now their second son is here! He is a doll! I am really enjoying working with newborns and little ones. Maybe because my third is so good - I have a big love for newborns right now....who knows? :)

Here is the announcement we made from her two favorite shots:
