Welcome to the world baby Shane! 😍😘#jaitkenphoto #newbornphotography #newbornhospitalsession

It's the season of baby announcements on Christmas cards, and I'm loving it!! I love getting my baby fix during the family portraits craziness! #jaitkenphoto #jaitkenphotoholidays #familyportraits #orangecountyphotographer #maternityphotography

Love this seasons family sessions! If this little boy doesn't say Christmas season, then I don't know what else will get you swayed away from Scroogedom. #jaitkenphoto #jaitkenphotography #jaitkenphotoholidays #familyphotography #familyportraits #orangecountyphotographers #orangecountyphotography

No better way to find the Christmas spirit than a Gerri's wheel ride with hot chocolate, Christmas music (😪 jk) and these two men of mine... #itsthemostwonderfultimeofyear

It's wedding day!!! I love you Nicci and Apple!!! #bestfriendswedding

I'm extremely busy and most days feel completely drowned in work, but I need to remember that this Holiday family session rush month (if you will) is a great time to watch such loving families have fun and make memories hat I capture ❤️ I absolutely loved watching these moms interact so incredibly cute with their son, Jack! They're not only good friends, but they truly remind me to not take life to seriously and play!

I always live a good cake smash and these two besties made my October SO fun! I love how they reach for the cake tray, try to pick it up, and sometimes just go all in without hands to practice their pie eating contest skills. 😂😍 love these boys!!!

I really enjoy all the belly bumps lately, but I am ecstatic for the newborns I finally get to meet for the first time, especially from clients whose wedding I shot years ago. Welcome to the world, Henry, you look just like your daddy, but your big sis is all mom! #newbornportraits #jaitkenphoto #jaitkenphotography #orangecountyphotographer #newbornphotography

How do I keep getting stuck with such awful seats?!? (Sarcasm.) #mumfordandsons #sandiego

Just can't get enough of this adorable family! Happy Birthday, Erin @eberanek Your kind soul and "spirited" family are seriously such a pleasure to know and experience each week as our friendship builds more & more! 😘

Had the immense pleasure of shooting this gorgeous gal @eberanek and her beautiful family this weekend. This session seriously MADE my weekend and warmed my heart SO much! #maternitysession #ocphotographer #lagunabeach #jaitkenphoto #familysessions (at Laguna Beach, California)

TBT to one of my favorite bath times! Hard to believe this lil guy is now a full on blonde 😍

TBT: Had a craving for candy today. I mean I'm talking a craving on the same level as my dear friend Erin and thought back to a great DIY candy bar one of my couples had, yum! Also--I'm just straight up craving candy, and can't wait for Halloween to be over so I can have all the leftover skittles to myself! Lol! • • • • • #jaitkenphotography #jaitkenphoto #weddingphotographer #candybar #travelphotographer #orangecountyphotographer #losangelesphotographer #sandiegophotographer #ocweddings

Had the great joy of photographing this stunning gal and her adorable pup, Dallas! Kay Hunter with Kay Hunter Image is a ridiculously talented professional stylist and personal image consultant. Her posture, grace, and perfect poise put me and what etiquette I thought I had to total shame 😂 So much of my business comes from word of mouth and I must give a shout out to one of my biggest supporters this year, Jocelyn Shamber! Thank you!! • • • • • #jaitkenphotography #jaitkenphoto #headshots #lifestyleportraits #orangecountyphotographer #losangelesphotographer #losangelesphotographers #sandiegophotographer

There's one thing that give me my extra pep and that soul warming feeing in the mornings with my tea, and that's the best mug I own from @frenchpressmornings ! Can't wait for @frenchpressmornings to continue building my set! (at Aliso Viejo, Orange County, California)

Fantastically delicious event by @jayscatering at their new unbelievably beautiful new venue @theestateonsecond !! Loved meeting @wifeoftheparty so much! I'm so stuffed from all the delicious food and am in awe of this great venue spot! (at The Estate on Second)

I hurt my ankle-so they had to find a sub for me. 😂 well done ladies!! #theknotrocksoc #jaitkenphoto #ocweddingphotographer
