Baby K Arrives with Smiles Galore!

Liesl — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 20:17:05 +0000

Last week I photographed Ripa & Viral’s new addition, who is now 3 months old!

His smiles are contagious! View all my favorites on my Fan Page!

I also photographed Shaan’s Baby Shower this past October and delivered a custom album to his parents to commemorate the event.

Congratulations to both of you, you are both doing a fantastic job with this wonderful child!

Little Bundle!

Shaan is too easy to please!

I love his little baby face!

Cheeks!

And what kind of photographer would I be if I didn't make the model cry? =)

Happy St. Valentine’s Day!

This past year has been a JAM PACKED year of non-stop love and I hope all of you are celebrating by expressing your love today! I want to thank all my clients from the past 12 months who hired me to record their love! St. Valentine was martyred for protesting a ban on marriage, and his stance on love and commitment has lived on for centuries! Whether you are married or not, today is a perfect day to practice your freedom to express your love!

I look forward to another year of witnessing some of the BEST LOVE ON EARTH!!!

Baby Shower for Baby K!

Liesl — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 17:33:13 +0000

Viral & Ripa recently hired me to photograph the shower for their first baby! They were referred to me by Dharna & Samir, two positively delightful people I got to photograph this past May!

Baby K’s first big party was held at the Elk Grove Belvedere Banquet Hall

Ripa paid great attention to detail for this fun event! I loved the Ty Beanie Baby center pieces!

Cake by Sugar Hills Bakery

Now their album design is nearly finished and I can’t wait to photograph Baby K’s newborn portraits in a few months! It is sure to be a CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!

Liesl Diesel

Ripa is a beautiful glowing mother!

I can't wait to see how cute her baby will be!

Viral is so debonaire!

I love this, they look so regal and so ready for a baby! Hopefully these good looks will endure when they start losing sleep :)

The Belvedere has an awesome foyer!

Beanie Baby Centerpieces!!!!

The contrast of elegance and baby theme in the decor was so fun! Ripa really pulled together an amazing event!

This novelty cake was perfect!

And of course, no shower is complete without a baby poop diaper game! hahah!

Congratulations, Ripa & Viral. You two will be beautiful parents and you will love watching your child grow!

Nance Family At Debordieu, SC

Liesl — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:56:37 +0000

The Nance family was vacationing at DeBordieu, SC and wanted to have some candid and group photos taken while they were all together. Piper Warlick, a fun and talented photographer from Charlotte, NC, referred them to my work and I am so glad she did!

I photographed for about 2 hours, one on the beach and one at the beach house. You can see all my favorites on their facebook album!

Thanks for having me out and I hope I get to work with your family again!

Liesl Diesel

: The whole crew!

: Jim & Alice! The two who started it all!

: Trista & Nick with their growing family!

: Trista & Nicks kids race to me!

: Alice strolls with all the grandkids who can walk!

: I love curious faces :)

: Cousins and shadows!

: Ashton holds her son, they totally adore each other. It’s so cute.

: Pay attention to what picture is REALLY happening, and not just the pictures that is SUPPOSED to happen. And that is how we get fun stuff like this!

: This tree behind their beach house was perfect for some posed images

: And some fun pics of the kids!

: Jim and Alice were so kind, what a wonderful family they have started!

: Ashton’s son started laughing when she laid next to him, it was contagious!

: Thank you to all of you for letting me in close for a few hours, it was so delightful!

Hot Mama in Vegas, Baby!

Liesl — Sat, 08 May 2010 22:18:30 +0000

Happy Mother’s Day all you wonderful mommies out there!

And to my mother, thank you so much for supporting me even when I do crazy things, I know you will always have my back!

You are the best mom on the face of the planet and I love you like crazy!

: Ayla is magically delicious!

I got to take these photos of my good friends during a recent trip to Las Vegas, Red Rocks!

: I love the connection in this image, Tina & Aaron love her so much.

Tina & Aaron are sweet friends and also happen to be professional photographers, also! View their amazing work at Vrai Photo!

So sweet.

Ayla smiles even when drool is oozing out her mouth, she has the best disposition!

: If ever a spot was picture perfect, this is it. Yes, that is a real mountain behind them and not a painted backdrop.

: Babies make lovely sandwiches, so I have heard . . .

: Anyone who has ever spent more than 2.7 seconds around Ayla discovers that she is so easy to love. Her loving family has helped her to grow a free open spirit which is so attractive!

: The model rock family!

Love you guys, see you soon!

Framing Families

Liesl — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:06:09 +0000

Sometimes I think I am just plain lucky. I get to frame moments like this and give these pictures to families that will remember this exact moment forever. I shot the Horn Family this past Monday at Myrtle Beach State Park. When I shoot portraits for families I like to focus on two things. First, what will they want to put in a frame? What will go on their wall from this shoot? Secondly, what will describe their family dynamic? These are the shots I take to satisfy my artistic desire. Of course, I always hope that both of these types of shots will end up on their walls:)

Thanks Cara & Jeff for letting me do this for you!

Liesl Diesel

Portraits can describe family dynamics, I love the energy in this photo.

The cuteness factor in this family is simply overwhelming!

Jeff and Cara are amazing parents. Not only are they raising three amazing, fun, unique children but they have a beautiful committed love that I truly respect.

It doesn't take much to keep kids happy at the beach!

Levi digs his koala style momma ride! I love his face!

And Aunt Liesl’s demeanor ;-)

Special thanks to the ever watchful guard dog, Chester. He ensured that no babies were harmed during the course of the shoot.

Love you sis!
