Beautiful Girls

All over the world....

I'm the LUCKIEST photographer

Do you know why?

Because my maternity clients are beautiful, sexy, inspiring,

fun and vibrant.

Meet Amber.

Hands down one of the most beautiful woman I've had the pleasure to know and shoot.

As we spoke throughout the weeks leading up to our session Amber wanted to focus on the beauty of her body's transformation from woman to mother. How best to do that than with a

calm and relaxing session set up in my home studio.

We enjoyed an afternoon of catching up and swapping "I'm so pregnant" stories while

we created beautiful moments that captured her journey to motherhood.

I truly love the simplicity of this story.

A beautiful mother-to-be dressed in simple black and white silhouettes

overflowing with love and life.

I hope you enjoy it too.

Children's Portrait Photography Manhattan Beach

With Love and Lots of Laughter

I've had the pleasure of shooting Lucas and his mommies three times since I've started my business a little over 2 years ago. He is so much fun to play with, never shy always inquiring about how he looks on the display, acting silly and being friendly. He's a bundle of fun.

We shot at my favorite family photo session location. Manhattan Beach.

I know I know everyone shoots there but can you blame them? It's clean, pretty and has really cute (I mean nice) lifeguards, I'm not kidding they are adorable.

So with laughter in our hearts and sand beneath our toes

we ran around the shore on a cold winters morning.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Friends!

Gosh, 2012 is upon us and January is almost over. Time flies when you are having fun, no?

The end of 2011 was filled with so much love and laughter. I had the best time working with some amazing families for their holiday portraits sessions. From the beach to the backyard we had tears of joy and temper tantrums all wrapped up together. It's the best of both worlds in this business and capturing those special moments is what I strive to do best.

Over the course of the next few days (weeks really because we all know I don't BLOG as much as I should) I will welcome you into the lives of some of my most memorable sessions of the past year. I welcomed twins into the world, as you will see below, and captured intimate moments with my kids and their great-grandparents. After every session I am involved in I always come back with a heart full of smiles as I edit through the film. These memories are a gift for a lifetime. To those in the photos and to those who share in the gifts of the images, everyone goes away with a smile on their face.

Laguna Beach

I LOVE driving south down the 5 freeway, traffic or no traffic, blasting some Hendrix and answering the same question over and over and over again.

"Momma, where are we going?"

"To the Beach" I respond over and over and over again.

"Grandma and Grandpa's beach?"

"Yes Kingston, Grandma and Grandpa's beach"

"Momma, where are we going?"

"To the moon" I finally reply

My grandparents (my baba's GREAT grandparents) have lived in Laguna Beach since I was a very young child. I remember playing "Red Light, Green Light" on their long front pathway, playing "Hide and Seek" amongst my grandmother's perfect Rose bushes and riding my bike along the driveway. But my fondest memories were of the beach.

Now I am so fortunate to share those memories with my children. There is nothing more amazing than watching my children play along the same stretch of beach that I grew up on. Jumping off the same HUGE rock into the splashing waves, walking up the same hill ever so tired back to grandma and grandpa's, the same cold hose ridding our sunburnt bodies of all things sand.

I swear the ocean in Laguna is special.

I will love it forever.

That is "Uncle James' my handsome (and single) baby brother

Jatin is a fish, he always has been super comfortable in water.

King on the other hand takes a while to warm up

today it took him over an hour before he got his little toes wet.

King went home to Grandma's and proceeded to draw "fishies"

The most amazing part of my day today was watching my boys interact with their GREAT grandparents. What a beautiful way to spend a day.

Happy 4th of July

This is what we did all day:)

Chris and Maddie Maternity Shoot

Another beautiful expectant mother.

Another beautiful day at the beach.

This particular Thursday was extremely windy.

Feeling the sting of each grain of sand whip across our face we decided

to go or go home, we put our heads down and marched into the storm, the sand storm that is.

Chris and Maddie were great sports and I can prove it. Even though we were covered head to toe in sand she

looked absolutely stunning.

Maddie had her baby boy, Cruz, this past weekend and both momma and baby are doing

well. Congratulations C and M, I cannot wait to meet baby Cruz.

Now to prepare for our newborn shoot....I love my job.
