Orange County photographer | Tara Whitney – Orange County's Leading Photographer. Family, Pregnancy, Maternity, infant, Newborn, Baby, engagement photography in Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego

Jax is the son of my best friends, Jalayne and Justin. You can see the progression of their life together here and here and here and here.

These are the photos taken in his Dad’s woodworking shop on our last day together. Justin loves this place and I loved watching him in it. He walked around, showing me everything he has customized for himself. He is passionate about his work there the way I am passionate about my work here. Jax tuckered out in Momma’s arms and then fell into a deep sleep on his father’s work table as we all talked.

Before and After, in the bathroom:

Jax is the son of my best friends, Jalayne and Justin. You can see the progression of their life together here and here and here.

I spent a weekend with them in May, documenting what their days were like with newborn Jax. I set out to photograph the things that I wish had been photographed for me when I had new babies. Putting together a new swing, breastfeeding and cuddles, soothing a tired little man, before and afters…

We also went to Justin’s woodworking shop on our last day together, to capture the family in another personal, special kind of place. Those will be posted tomorrow.

I love these pictures, I love him, and I love them. With all of my heart.

I am short on words this evening, but I have to say that I love these simple, colorful, happy family images of the Hester family very much.

PS – Bree is the one who got me to purchase an ice cream maker, and begin obsessively making homemade ice cream. The kids think I am magic!
