the hardest thing about shooting editorial work is the wait. but the magazine is finally out -- babiekins magazine's exciting first issue in print -- now available at barnes n noble and books-a-million. so many congratulations to you, priscilla!!

and so now, after six months of patiently waiting, i can share some of my favorite photos from the two editorial shoots i did for this issue.

first up is gina, a regular writing contributor for babiekins magazine. she is also one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet! outside of babiekins magazine, you can find her writings and blog here.

and a model shoot in san diego. three separate locations. four outfit changes. this little girl (and her mom) were absolutely amazing.

i always try and get a few shots for the mom too...

a few months ago, i had the awesome opportunity to photograph for babiekins magazine. i had such a blast coming up with the shoot concepts and the girls were amazing to work with. they were such troopers too -- as it was so cold AND windy on the day of the shoot. it pained me not to share the photos right after i edited them, but that's the agreement -- no sharing until the issue is released. so i patiently waited...and waited!

so without further ado, here's a few of my favorites...
