  • Red And Gold! Go NINERS!

    •    Every Thanksgiving I take advantage of my kids being dressed up, drag them into a field, bribe them to smile so I can snap a few pics! This year the 49ers were playing, naturally we ditched the dressier clothes and instead showed our team spirit! I only had a few minutes to take these before all the festivities begun. Surprisingly, even with about 15 mins to shoot these came out great! Now if only I could say the same about how the Niners played that day....  Whomp Whomp!

  • Los Angeles Fall Family Photos

    • So who is ready to kick off fall family photo season?!?! This little session feels so fall and September to me! Let's pretend it wasn't shot on a hot August night! I had a great evening romping around Griffith Park with these sweet brothers. My fall 2014 calendar is quickly filling up with so book soon to reserve your spot! I 

  • Santa Monica Family Vacation Photography

    •     What better way to remember your trip than with a photoshoot on the last day! That is exactly what this family visiting Santa Moncia from Toronto did! This shoot was extra special this family was also celebrating their oldest daughters birthday!  It was fun splashing around in the ocean with them and watching these sisters interact was so sweet! I hope to some day meet and photograph them again! Next time maybe in Canada! xoxo

  • Little Z -Los Angeles Family Vacation

    • Little Z is getting so big! This was my 3rd time photographing his little family. This time they traveled from their new East Coast home and made sure to have photos done on their trip! It was wonderful catching up and chasing Z around to catch a few pictures! 1 and a half year olds sure are busy!! I am already looking forward to more family shoots with these guys in the future! To see pictures from previous sessions with this family go HERE and HERE. xoxo

  • Moment Of Motherhood- Los Angeles Nursing Photography

    • This session is from last years National Breastfeeding Month sale. Her photos can be seen on my main page but I just noticed I hadn't blogged them yet. This mama radiated motherhood at her session with me. Her gentle parenting (and perfect livingroom window light) quickly became the highlight of our session when Westley was more interested in checking me out than nursing. The thing I love about nursing sessions is they are so much more than pictures of a baby at the breast. They show a bond and connection between a mother and her child. Older nurslings are often distracted by my camera at nursing sessions but I take my time and photograph them playing and cuddling with their mothers as well as nursing.

  • Home Is Wherever I'm With You

    •     4 years ago my family moved from Sacramento to Los Angeles. My husband was starting school and we planned on only staying for 14 months. We picked out a little apartment online and moved our growing family to Park La Brea sight unseen!  I remember walking into our new home for the first time and looking out over the Hollywood Hills in amazement. The fact that the apartment was teeny tiny was over shadowed by all the beauty in our neighborhood and the exciting new things to do. Those 14 months quickly became 4 years when we decided that L.A. was where we belonged. During those years we welcomed, celebrated, loved, played, and dreamed (of more space!) Finally on Friday our family will  moving out of the 8th floor and back down to the ground. We are so excited to have a yard and more space (maybe even some home studio space.) Despite the elevators that often break, having to do laundry in the basement, our downstairs neighbors that hate us for all the running and indoor scootering... I can not help but feel a little sad to leave this 8th floor home that made L.A. home for us to begin with. My babies grew up here! My youngest was born in the bathroom! The view... I am going to miss the view! I am so happy to have photographed so many great memories in this house and even more excited to take many more in our new place!
