holiday portrait sessions...

don't miss out - 4 more holiday sessions available in November!

Ava & Carson again

I photographed Ava & Carson for some beach fun in the spring. They were back in town for a visit and mom thought it was a perfect opportunity to get new portraits, getting in gear for the holidays. Timing could not have been better – it was a beautiful day! (I always sing in my head after I say that :D)

Double dose of cuteness...

Watching 'em grow...

I love watching my clients’ families grow. It makes my heart melt when I walk into their homes & see how much bigger the little ones are (and also see those photos I took up on the wall!)

Here's Annabelle the first time I photographed her...

& can’t believe how much bigger & more adorable she is now!


This time I’ve also come to photograph Ivy. Looking very much like her big sister, this cutie is a fast crawler and quite generous with her smiles.

California Cuties

I get so much joy photographing the little ones. Before a shoot, I plan a hundred things in my head, but when I get there something better almost always comes along! SO real, SO uniquely them.

Little Ava & little Carson after a brief introduction to the sand... Love my job because I get to play on the sand too!




i think this is such a cute moment...

New MPETIT website

I am very excited to announce that the new mpetit, my kid's lifestyle portraiture website, is here. More galleries, more adorable little ones!

Check it out! Send me a note or leave me a comment. I'd love hear what you think...

Little Sienna

Born to be photographed, this little cutie made my day. Her eyes were glued to my lens and her expressions got my face glued to the back of the camera.

Love photographing little ones at this age! They give you the most adorable smiles... oh & super fun to dress 'em up too...

Wonder Twins

Matthew & Emily, 2 year old twins. Interesting how one of them is a wee bit serious and the other one is mr. smiles-all-the-way. Together, they are as cute as can be. I made these two break the rules (safe & supervised!) - climbing on tables, rocks & trees... It was a fun day at the park and we all went home a little muddy :)

Renzo

This little fella just discovered how fun it is to play in the sand... & as soon as he did, there was no stopping him! I love photographing kids because they make me appreciate life's simple pleasures even more.

SO adorable! I really enjoyed hanging out with little Renzo, mommy & auntie after the shoot too. Here are a few faves & check out the rest that made it to the coffee table book.

Jayden & Cameron

Another batch of super cute expressions. Jayden has the most infectious smile. She was such big sister - helping us get little Cameron to smile. "Cameron, Cameron.." she kept calling in her sweet voice. Gave him big hugs and shared Cheerios too :)

I can never get enough of the real smiles I get when photographing kids...




in their traditional Korean outfits...

Zara & Sean

Can't believe how fast these little ones grow! I photographed Zara when she was a few months old last year & little Sean not too long ago when he was a just few days old! They are growing to be more and more adorable...


look at those eyes!
and that smile...
too cute together!

Little Maddy

The girl with a million smiles... so adorable & so friendly, this little one made my afternoon.
She put mommy, daddy & myself to a mini work out :) Super fast at 14 months with lots of personality too!
