Holiday Portrait Craziness!

Posted in Kids, Sessions & Shoots

The tricky thing about blogging is that when you have the most stuff to post, you have the least time in which to do so!  I am actually on my Thanksgiving vacation right now but I figured I’d at least show everyone what I’ve been up to lately!  November has been a crazy month….

An (almost) rainy day session

Posted in Kids, Sessions & Shoots

I was a little worried it was going to rain on us for this session, but fortunately it stayed mostly dry and I got beautiful cloudy light instead! This family is so cute, both of the kids have so much personality. I remember taking pictures of Ava (the little girl) at her preschool last year, and she was always smiling and happy to say hi :)

Oh, hi!

Posted in Kids, Sessions & Shoots

This is the baby from the baptism a few weeks ago - isn’t it amazing that he already looks different?  I am going to be doing his portrait four times this year, so I am really excited to see how he changes between now and his first birthday.  If he keeps giving me expressions like this, we’re going to get along very well :)

Click or Treat West!

Posted in Parties, Kids, Sessions & Shoots

My second Click or Treat day was also a great success! Many thanks to our lovely hostess Natasha, who created this whole hay & pumpkin set in her backyard (that’s her adorable daughter in the middle being the ‘hear no evil’ princess :)) Click on ‘more’ to see the rest of the great costumes!

I’m practically a superhero!

Posted in Kids, Sessions & Shoots

This family was really fun to work with, but there was one moment of excitement seconds after the above photo was taken when the little boy rolled over and almost fell off this platform - but I caught him!  OK, so it was like a foot and a half off the ground, which was covered in nice soft wood chips, so it probably wouldn’t have been a huge trauma.  But I was still glad to help :)

Thank you, thank you very much

Posted in Kids, Sessions & Shoots

Yesterday’s Pasadena Click or Treat was a huge success, so thanks to all the families who participated! The costumes this year were just great, I couldn’t even pick a favorite from all these adorable kids! I am really looking forward to next Sunday’s Brentwood Click or Treat day now, although I don’t think it can possibly top the overall adorable-ness of yesterday’s kids :)  Like little Elvis, above (click ‘more’ to see all the other kids!)

Lady Katie!

Posted in Kids, Sessions & Shoots

We did Katie’s pictures at an awesome park in the middle of the hills, it’s so cool how many different locations and looks you can get just within the L.A. area. And of course I had a wonderful time working with Katie, she’s such a sweetheart (and of course being super photogenic doesn’t hurt either!)

Becky & Keith at the Ritz Carlton!

Posted in Weddings, Sessions & Shoots

Becky & Keith’s wedding was so fun - they not only had a great 80’s hair band, but a bubble-wrap dance and a candy table! They definitely know how to keep the photographer happy - unique pictures and sugar will make me grin every time :)

Yup, even MORE Redheads!

Posted in Kids, Sessions & Shoots

I had the chance to shoot a couple more kids for the Little Redheads Across America book project, and they were just adorable!  I think I’m going to miss all these little redheads when we’re done with the book - hopefully they will all become regular clients!

A Beautiful Baptism

Posted in Kids, Sessions & Shoots

This little boy’s baptism was a beautiful ceremony at the Passionist Fathers Retreat Center in Sierra Madre.  The priest had some lovely things to say and the family’s joy was just great! Definitely some proud parents and grandparents! (and aunts, and uncles, and friends…..)
