I spent the last two months shooting and editing for all my beautiful clients holiday cards and totally forgot about my own! So THIS is my holiday card!
2013 was a crazy for my family and business.
My husband graduated from The Los Angeles Film School as Valedictorian with honors in the spring. My kids started school for the first time ever! I met and photographed so many beautiful families as well as many past clients! (thank you all!)
Now that many of those big changes 2013 brought are out of the way, we are ready to settle into the new year. My husband just started a new job in the film industry. #livingtheLAdream right? hehe I am launching my new boudoir site and and booking for Valentine's shoots NOW! My kids are making many new friends, Kara is just the cutest little dancer at Sophies. So we say BRING IT 2014! We are ready for all the awesome you have in store for our family!
And now for my official digital Christmas card.... So next time you give me that look like "So sorry my kids are goofing off" during your shoot, trust me I don't mind, my kids do it too!
I want to thank you all for believing in me and trusting me with documenting so many precious moments! I can't wait to capture many more! I wish you all an magical holiday and blessed New Year!

In early March, I traveled to Chicago, Illinois. My sweet friend Melissa, and her family welcomed me into their home and showed me around the city. Melissa and I have been internet friends since we were pregnant with our oldest daughters. Despite our 8 years of 'friendship,' this was our first time meeting and from the moment I arrived, I was treated like family. I was treated to deep dish pizza and craft beer, amazing homemade vegetarian meals, hot coffee on snowy mornings and brisk afternoon snowy walks, Chicago style hot dogs and smooshy baby cuddles! Obviously, I needed to return their over the top hospitality with pictures of their sweet family!
Thank you, Melissa and Tony for the home away from home!
Foot tall snowman I made so I could send pics of it home to my kids!
And an Instagram I took of Melissa while there. I was seriously blown away by this woman. I am truly inspired by this woman and so grateful to call her my friend.
I need to up my mom game. Melissa wins all the mothering awards. Seriously amazed at how awesome she is!

These kids may be my most photographed kids, my own excluded. Their mother Margaret was one of my first friends here in Los Angeles. We met at a quilting club. My son Lex was about 2 months old, her son Runner just a few weeks. After a minute of talking we found we had much in common. Both having just had a homebirth = instant friends. haha A short time later she invited me to attend the homebirth of her second son Emerson. After a few years, many play dates, a few photoshoots, and a birth.. I present you with their latest family photos! Thank you my sweet friend for trusting me with capturing your family so often!
