Little Miss D {South Bay Newborn Baby Photographer}

I introduced little Miss D a couple of weeks ago when I posted her birth announcement.

Here are some of my favorites from her very first photo shoot.

precious little one…

Travel Town with the F family

I have been photographing the F family since the very inception of my business. They were my neighbors back in the day, and then they had to move away…luckily, they didn’t move too far!

I photographed them over a year ago, when little K was just a baby..but now!!! Look how K and J have both grown!

I’m loving shooting at Travel Town! These trains are fantastic! I’m also a huge fan of the park right around the corner, the afternoon sunlight hits it just right and it’s beautiful!

This family is just absolutely beautiful inside and out…I’m so very lucky to have them as clients and friends.

My favorite loction ever {Portrait Photographer}

I found this park when I first started my business, I think I was just driving around scouting locations for shoots.

I came across this park and instantly fell in love. I didn’t find this particular section of the park until about a year later, it’s tucked away into a quiet little spot. Once I found this nook, I knew I was head-over-heels in love with the park.

One of my very first clients was this family, and just last weekend, I had the opportunity to photograph them again; and they’re expecting another little one!

Congrats to the W family!!! Can’t wait to meet the newest addition!

Here’s Little S 2 years ago:

and here she is now:

and her little sister Miss I

then:

and now:

Oh how they’ve grown!!!

I really am luckiest person in the world! I love my job more than anything and I’m so grateful to my clients, I get to watch their families grow!

Birth announcements are custom designed for each little one!

L & J wedding {Simi Valley Wedding Photographer}

Here are some of my favorites from L and J’s wedding…what an absolutely wonderful couple. They were truly a joy to work with, and I felt so special for being a part of their wedding day.

The reception was held at J’s family’s home in Simi Valley, and what a perfect venue! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations, you guys rocked it!

 

Holiday Cards – {Holiday Portrait Photography}

It’s the last day of summer. That makes me sad a little bit, but excited at the same time. Fall is one of my favorite times of year, the slight chill in the air-and being in SoCal, I mean slight! There’s even a fall-like smell in the air. With fall comes time for Holiday Portraits! Schedule your holiday portraits now and receive special discounts on your Holiday Card order!

I custom design Holiday cards for each client. We sit down during your personal ordering session and talk about the look and feel you would like for your cards; they can vary from fun and bright to simple and classic. 

Here are some samples of Holiday Cards from last year:

Cutie Patooties! {Children’s Portrait Photography}

I photographed these two in Camarillo last weekend, it was such a beautiful afternoon, perfect for portraits.

 

 

 

 

 

The little sweater she’s wearing was made by grandma. Isn’t it a beautiful color? Matches her eyes perfectly!

This is another sweater grandma made…I love the buttons.

 

 

and with a good design, this would make a great Holiday card 

Spending time in Oregon {portrait photographer}

Had the opportunity to spend a fantastic week in Oregon…it was BEAUTIFUL!

The weather could not have been better!!! I also spent some quality time with my neice, she’s growing so fast!

She spent the summer in Oregon, learning how to be a little farm girl on the family’s vineyard. 

 

 

 

 

more to come!

Beautiful Monica {Maternity Portrait Photography}

I photographed Moncia a couple of weeks ago. She and her family were just beautiful! I loved photographing them in the master bedroom, it had a wonderful blue wall that served as a perfect background.

A couple of days later, I got an email from Monica, and Baby D had arrived!

Welcome Baby D, I can’t wait to meet you!

the energetic Miss S {Los Angeles Children’s Photographer}

I had so much fun photographing Miss S again! She is so full of energy and just has the best laugh!

I got to chase her around the neighboorhood for a little bit, then we headed down to Venice beach for some fun on the swings and we even stopped for some Kettle Corn, yum!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and when we were done with the session, I said my goodbyes and took a walk around the neighboorhood.

I am in love with this Venice neighboorhood! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Los Angeles Vacation-{Los Angeles Family Portrait Photographer}

I met the B family on Sunday for a fun family portrait session at Leo Carrillo State Beach (have you noticed I love to shoot at this beach??!!). They were on vacation from Washington state and gave me a call to have their family portraits taken while they were having some fun in the sun.

If you are planning a trip to Southern California, think about having some fun family portraits taken to document your family’s time together while everyone is relaxed and having fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

hope you had a safe trip home B family, it was great meeting you!

I’ve been a bit behind on posting images from my latest shoots, so sorry!

Here are a a few images from a couple of family shoots I had at beautiful Will Rogers State Beach.

and the R family who were celebrated Mom’s homecoming from Iraq with a family portrait shoot on the beach

 

 

 

the kids were having so much fun, I could barely keep them out of the water, so when we got the shots we wanted, we let the boys run wild through the surf!
