Tarek and Christina El Moussa newborn session/ Orange County, CA photographer

I am finally getting around to blogging about my newborn session with the El Moussa family! Many of you probably recognize Christina and Tarek El Moussa as the hosts for the super fun and popular HGTV show, Flip or Flop – I am a HUGE fan! When Christina contacted me to do the session I was SOOO excited, but also nervous! I had previously worked with them on some marketing photos for their website some months back, but taking newborn photos at their awesome home was truly an amazing experience! Beyond doing the photos, there was also a cameraman from the Flip or Flop show there taping me do the session. Can you say nerve-racking! You’ll see a behind the scenes shot below. Thank goodness I put some make-up on that day! Whatsmore, about a week after taking the photos, Christina contacted me to see if People.com could publish one of my photos. EEEKKK! Hello, YES!! They ended up posting two of my favorites from the session! The link to view the article is posted at the top of my home page on this website.

I would also like to publicly thank Jessica McKimmey from Jessica McKimmey photography for assisting me during the session. She was so great! She also gets the photo credit for the behind the scenes photos.

Lastly, I have to mention how great this family was to work with. I only briefly worked with Tarek, but I spent more time with Christina – talking before the session, during, and meeting a second time to order her prints and canvases. She is SO sweet, gracious, beautiful and down to earth! And little Taylor is already a pro in front of the camera, and so gorgeous! Check out some of the lovely photos from their session below!
