It's that time of year!

Its Holiday Season! My favorite season of all time. What a better way to kick off the Holiday season than with this awesome family. They were fun, go with the flow, energetic and above all a warm loving family. Just spending a little time with them, you can see they truly enjoy and love one another. And Ryelle is a crack up! I don't know how she fits that much personality in that little body of hers! Besides being cute, she kept me laughing the whole session. Here is a sneak peak at our recent Holiday session! Enjoy!

Birthday, Boo, & Brrrr.

I had such a great time photographing the Ramos family this weekend. It was almost a year ago that I met little Liam. He's not so little these days. He's on the move and ready to get into everything! That's what one year olds are supposed to do! Liam even showed me some of his walking moves. I think we counted more than 10 steps at one point! At this session we got some one year photos, halloween shots and a little bit of the Holidays too! Here is a sneak peak at how this amazing family and their growth over the last year.

How much Liam has changed:

The Chan Clan

I was SO excited to photograph this family! I see Lily and the kids around all the time and I can't help but wonder how they got so cool. They just have this rock star spirit sprinkled over good cheer. I know all too well parenting can be challenging, but Vince and Lily seem to have a knack of making it fun too. Ben and Calliope are very lucky kids to have parents like Vince and Lily. These two kiddos are destined to grow up totally boss (I know, I know I'm not hip enough to pull that word off. Oh well. I tried.)
Here's a sneak peak at our recent session.

Little Miss Mackenzie

I had the pleasure of taking Mackenzie's first newborn portraits. With Grandpa, Grandpa, Mommy, Daddy,  Auntie, and Uncle all there to enjoy the moment. It was the first time (believe it or not) I've been around a family like my own. Mommy has two decades younger siblings just like I do. They were great! Loving, attentive, and so ready to take Mackenzie and rock her to sleep. What a great family! And Mackenzie was a perfect angel. She didn't cry once, she just hung out and went with the flow. She was a dream to photograph! Here is a sneak peak at this amazing little lady : ) Enjoy!

Dylan turns 1!!

I just can't resist a child with blonde curly hair. They make me melt. I was so lucky to capture Dylan's one year photos! And what a little man he is. He's on the move and ready to make Mom and Dad put those running shoes on! Here is a sneak peak at his 1 year session at the Santa Monica Pier. Enjoy!

Sara makes her debut!

Frank and Laura have been waiting for a long time for this little miracle, and now she's here. What a beauty she is too. She's pretty sleepy still, which is great for portraits...and great for Mom and Dad to get some sleep (haha! yeah right). This family couldn't be happier and more proud of their precious girl. Sorry Dunkin, this time I'm not talking about you : ( Enjoy a sneak at Sara's newborn session.

ARE YOU SERIOUS???

You know when you walk through Target and you see all the Halloween stuff, and in the same fell swoop you notice the Holiday isle? And then you think, "Are you kidding me ALREADY?" Well...they do that for people like me that have to get ready in October for December. Well, to my credit I have to do Holiday cards a month early so everyone can send them in time. Here is an example of my Holiday "Mini" shoot that's happening November 6th and 7th. (And by mini, I mean one and a half hours of session time baby!)
