So, I'm finishing up the editing for the newborn session we did this last weekend on the 21st! We were especially excited to meet Baby Graham as his parents are friends of ours. I was also excited just to do a newborn shoot, so I brought as many blankets, pillows, and props as I could! I knew we wouldn't use them all, but I wanted to have lots of options.

We set up our lights and equipment and then the star of the show arrived! He was having some tummy troubles, so we kept his diaper on for the shoot. He had a full head of adorable copper-red hair, so we tried to spotlight that in the photos.

He was a hungry boy so we stopped often for feeding time, but we were able to get in lots of good shots. I love this little owl hat his mommy brought for him to wear!

At the end of the shoot we wanted to make sure we got some pictures of Mom and Dad with their new little bundle of joy so we shot some classic black and white photos.

What a sweet little baby! I couldn't help but coo and fawn over him :) Love doing the newborn shoots! It seems like everybody is having a baby lately, and I love it! I hope we get to do lots more newborn shoots soon!

Welcome to our blog!

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Julienne Sybrowsky, one half of the photography team! The other half is, of course, my husband, Dallas. For a little background for anyone who might be reading this, Dallas and I met in January 2008 (technically we met on New Year's Eve 2007). We dated throughout the summer and I broke up with Dallas not once but twice in the course of our relationship. Thankfully I came to my senses and we got engaged in September of the same year and got married two days before Christmas! (Talk about a whirlwind - met and married all in the same year!) We now have an adorable daughter, Charlotte, who just turned 18 months. She's super fun and the absolute jewel of my eye. I swear she gets funnier and cuter every day.

Dallas and I both grew up in San Diego county and now live in southern Riverside county. We still spend a lot of time in SD though, as my family all still live there. I stay at home and take care of Charlotte and Dallas works in Carlsbad at a biotech company.

So, how about a little photography background? Well, we bought our first DSLR camera for our honeymoon, which we went on in the summer of 2009. We spent two weeks in France, Switzerland and Spain and we were SO glad we had that nice camera! We had both been to Europe before and love it there, so it was so nice to share that with each other and to share our newfound hobby! We've been doing photography together ever since.

Some of our experience includes engagements,

bridals,

and various portraits.

Our daughter, Charlotte, is one of our favorite subjects! We joke that she's the most photographed child ever.

So, I've been spending a lot of time lately thinking about our hopes and dreams as far as photography goes and what we really want to do with it. I think the more we take photos the more we both realize how much we enjoy it and would like to do it full-time. We're really trying to expand our business and gain as much experience as we can.

So, I hope you enjoy following along as we capture memories here, there and everywhere! And now, I must go back to working on the edits of yesterday's newborn shoot! See you again soon!
