I met this cutie pie for the first time when he was a teeny tiny newborn baby.  Now baby P is celebrating his first birthday, in grand Mickey Mouse style of course.  Guests munched on freshly prepared tacos, and lounged poolside in the beautiful March weather.  Baby P was treated to his first taste of sugar as he did the ceremonial “destroying of the cake on your 1st birthday.”  Thank you to baby P’s lovely parents for letting me document this wonderfully special day!

AMAZING Mickey Mouse themed cake! 

Some of the cute details from the birthday bash.

Has “Gerber Baby” written all over it!

Baby P’s beautiful parents.  I hope to God I look this good after giving birth some day!

Baby P and Grandpa being silly.

To smash in my face, or to not smash in my face…hmmm

I love all the random ways my clients discover Carly Daniel Photography.  Rachel and Aurora’s dad used to be my dad’s mailman, so he knew we were a family of photographers.  When it came time for his twin daughters’ senior portraits, he called me up and we scheduled a downtown Laguna Beach portrait session.  I had WAY too much fun photographing these girls!  It’s their time to shine- senior year, graduating high school, and going off to college.  They’re fully committed to doing whatever needs to be done to have awesome senior portraits that reflect who they truly are.  Thank you Rachel and Aurora, for being so cool to work with, and for workin’ it in front of my camera

The following images are from a photoshoot for my friend Cassie’s new clothing line, Degree 6.  Their clothes are SO comfortable, and environmentally friendly.  It’s not often that I do photography of this kind, so I enjoy the change of pace.
