My little guy helped us decorate the Christmas tree over Thanksgiving weekend. I just wanted to share a sweet photo of him being a big helper. Of course, since he's a toddler, he has taken off as many ornaments as he first put on the tree. :-) I'm looking forward to enjoying this holiday season with my family since everything is a new, exciting experience for my little guy. Hope you all enjoy the holiday season that is upon us!
Happy First Birthday! | Orange County Baby Photographer
Miss L will be turning one in a few weeks and I had the pleasure of documenting this important milestone with a first birthday portrait session. She was bright, curious, energetic, and truly adorable! I also enjoyed visiting with mom and dad and hearing a little bit of their story. They are such a kind family and I feel fortunate to have met them and photographed this special time in their lives. When I meet a sweet family like this one, I am reminded of why I love my being a family photographer. Miss L - I hope you have a very, very happy first birthday!
I love this quiet, gentle moment that Miss L shared with her parents towards the end of her portrait session. She was tired out from all of the playing!
Welcome Little One | Sherman Oaks Newborn Portrait Photographer
I absolutely love each and every image from this lifestyle newborn session! It made it so hard for me to pick just a few favorites to share on the blog. "Miss Z" and her parents were a delight to meet and photograph. Isn't she so beautiful and delicate? Their bedroom was the perfect backdrop for their session with huge windows creating the most gorgeous lighting. I even joked with them that I wanted to hold all of my future newborn sessions at their house. :-) From my experience with my son, I realize that babies are only this tiny and new for the first couple of weeks of their lives. As such, it is truly a privilege and joy to be able to document their pure sweetness during these fleeting moments. I strive to not only create stunning, timeless images but also to capture genuine moments for the families that I photograph. I'm honored that I was able to document the remarkable love that this family shares.
Family Portraits | San Marino Family and Child Photographer
We are definitely in the midst of the holiday portrait season and I have a lot of previews to share. It's so fun to reconnect with my families each year and to see how much the children have grown. It's truly remarkable the difference one year can make in a little one's life; and it's a reminder of how quickly they grow up. These adorable girls grew up so much since I saw them last year at their annual portrait session. We had the most gorgeous, warm lighting during their session and I love the beautiful backlit images that we achieved from shooting during the golden hour. It's my goal to capture both posed and candid moments during each family portrait session. Most families want a posed family portrait to frame and hang on the wall and to share on their holiday cards, but I think the split-second, candid moments that I capture are what reveals the essence of each person. I'm so pleased with the results from this session and especially love the genuine moments that we documented this year.
I adore this tender moment that these sisters were sharing together. So sweet!
South Coast Botanic Garden Family Portraits | Palos Verdes Child and Family Portrait Photographer
You may remember adorable "Miss K" from her beach portrait session earlier this year. Looking back I can't believe how much she has grown in such a short time! We had a fun time together as I photographed her sweet family at the South Coast Botanic Garden on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. There were so many gorgeous flowers in bloom and the weather was just like a beautiful, warm spring day. Since all toddlers are so active and curious we generally keep these portrait sessions fun and moving to keep little ones engaged and enjoying themselves. We walked, and ran, all over the grounds on this morning exploring all of the different gardens. "Miss K" could not have more loving and devoted parents, which was so evident during their portrait session. They just adore her so much! Thank you for the pleasure of documenting this precious time for your sweet family.
