Just in case anyone was still following my adventures from my time in Pennsylvania... I have rebranded! I am no longer operating under the business name Larkspur Photo. While I still love flowers I thought it would be more streamlined and more reflective on my status as an artist to use my own name as part of my business name. My new business is Jessica Esplin Photography. I am now based in Sunnyvale California and I photograph Newborns, Maternity and Families. Thanks so much for coming with me on this journey!

I've been planning on a new session offering for a while and to work out the kinks, I ran a model call. That new session offering is the newborn mini photo session. Hooray! It is a great way to get memorable photos of your baby, but hopefully also help you as a client save money on your photography budget. Little Emily was my first model call baby and she was just awesome! The session went exactly one hour, which is what I was hoping for. She slept for half of the time, but even when she woke up she was very content. Thanks little darling! My first baby of the New Year, little Lila Eve, was indeed born on New Years Eve. We met her with her mom, dad and older sister in her State College home for an extra special session. Her mother is a friend of mine so we decided to try something new: lifestyle portraits. A lifestyle session captures the baby and his or her family in styled yet natural poses within the baby's own environment, such as the nursery. We did photos with Lila's big sister first, then got in a few traditional poses on my beanbag, then back to the nursery with mom and dad. I was extra lucky to have the chance to photograph such gorgeous people that really made my first lifestyle session photos just stunning! Simple and breathtakingly beautiful! I met this beautiful baby girl with her mom and dad in her State College Pennsylvania home when she was eleven days old. We tried to keep in mind her familial religious orthodox Christian traditions during the session. A baby is so pure and innocent and to surround her in white fit our religious theme. I especially loved the precious prayer pose that we took to put on her baptismal announcement. Sometimes I like to branch out a little and do something really creative, like make a photo painting. If you check out last month on Larkspur Photo's Facebook page, you can see the photos of the full moon I started out painting. I experimented with some different brush strokes, such as oil painting, or expressive brushes, plus adding textures from my favorite Photoshop texture producer, Sarah Gardner Photography, based in the UK. Next I moved to transforming some of my favorite photos I've taken of my newborn clients this year (plus my favorite photo of my nephew from last year). I am definitely in love with the results! I hope to keep doing this on a regular basis.
