Happy 1st Birthday Mason

I love watching my clients families grow. 

Families go from 1 to 2 then 3 and almost always 4. If I am lucky I get to watch every milestone. 

First Breath, First Smile, 1st Birthdays, 5th birthdays, High School Graduation. Being a "Family" Photographer is just that, being with family. I have a close relationship with my families. They call me for each scenario that they want to remember and this my friends was one of those moments.

I photographed Treena while she was expecting. Her images came out so amazing, I was really proud of my work. That was over a year ago……..

Now little Mason is ONE!!!!

Happy Birthday Little GUY!!!!!!

Mama looking beautiful. Like the cover of Vanity Fair.

Newborn Session Nautical Theme

I LOVE getting an assignment that is well thought out and planned., As opposed to heading over to someones house to "improvise" a shoot. I love to gather props, look for inspiration and stick to a theme while shooting little tykes.

This session was loads of fun to produce. Little Leo has a "Nautical" themed nursery so I started collecting props and colors for our fun little session. I went to Etsy, Ebay, Amazon, Marshall's, Ross, Target, 99 cent and probably 10 other places and gathered all types of goodies for my newborn session.

Here is the final outcome….

Family Portraits in Malibu

  What good is summer without a day spent in the surf?

Paradise Cove

Every year I donate portrait sessions to the local schools for their annual fundraising events.

This wonderful family won the auction of a Family and Pet Portrait Session. They happen to go

to my son's school as well so we all knew each other. Needless to say it was a very energetic and extremely fun filled session.

 Are they not the most photogenic kids ever? And Paradise Cove is never one to upset.

We got lucky and had an extremely overcast day so the kids were able to run, jump, climb, play and get messy without a care in the world.

I think the images came out fantastic, what do you all think?

 Thank you K Family:)

Angels and Babies

Who doesn't love babies? Well beside my little Kingston

who has loudly protested to having more babies. He has often stated "I hate babies"

not sure where it came from or how long he will feel that way but I do not agree with his protest. I LOVE BABIES!

It truly is a blessing that after a few hard working, dedicated years of

figuring out my camera and this business of photography

that I have made a splash in the Newborn and Family Photography world. It is definitely my "calling" in life.

Of course being a mother of two and a preschool teacher has guided me into the

right mindset when working with children. I have an enormous amount of patience and I

have no problem acting like a fool with a three year old. When working with newborn, you are REQUIRED to be patient, quite, calm and most of all have warm hands. Cold hands will guarantee you to have a screaming baby........

Anyways, Introducing Another one of my fantastic clients and her beautiful baby girl.

Enjoy

Los Angeles Family Portrait and Maternity Photography

Little Dylan is growing up so fast.

I have had the pleasure of shooting this growing family three times now

and they get cuter and cuter. Dylan is about to be a big sister so on top of shooting some family portraits we shot some beautiful shots of mom

under the Manhattan Beach pier.

I couldn't for the life of me get Dylan to smile so all the shots she has

a "look" about her but they are cute just the same!!!!

Orange County Portrait Photography

After an amazing and extremely busy Holiday Season I am finally able to

pay attention to my Blog. I am so sorry I have not updated it in such

a long time. I have SOOOO Much to show you.

This is the Hurley Family, we shot a wonderful session in a little park in Mission Viejo.

There was a chance of rain but thank God it turned out to be a beautiful day.

Had so many amazing shots of them that I had a hard time deciding what to post here so I posted quite a few.

Hadley and Nea

Alright alright....

He might be the cutest thing ever.

This is little Hadley and his grandma, he calls her Nea.

They wanted some pics together before Nea had to fly home to Indiana

so I packed up my gear and set off for Westchester.

Cute stuff we shot in their backyard, isn't it?

He was so interested in the camera, he kept staring and staring

but it paid off because we have the most

adorable baby pictures EVER!!!
