Awkwardness Round 2 {Los Angeles Event Photographer}

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 03:19:11 +0000

I had another fabulously awkward time shooting the Awkward Family Pet Photos book signing event! Mike and Doug launched their second book (in a an awkward serious I hope *wink wink*!) at the OK Store in Los Angeles.

We had a great time meeting everyone and their pets!

These pups and kitties were such great sports for letting us be as awkward as we wanna be….

(although, I’m pretty sure the treats helped!)

Krystal’s Big Hat Bridal Shower {Los Angeles event photographer}

I’m shooting Krystal’s wedding next month, and I can’t wait!

I had the opportunity to meet her friends and family at her bridal shower, which was dubbed Big Hat Bridal Shower. I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant, until I got there. I was expecting big crazy hats, but instead they were wearing the most beautiful Royal Wedding inspired hats I’ve ever seen!

Here are some pages from her album, check out the hats!

It was so great to meet everyone, and love the hats!

I met this family years ago when I first started my business. I had seen them a few times along the way, for a variety of shoots (dad is an amazing chef and I photographed his food for menus. mmmmm), but unfortunately a couple of years got in the way and I didn’t get to see them as often as I liked.

I got a phone call from Mae, she had a little addition to the family and it was time to update their family portraits!

I was so excited to see how big Braeden had grown, and couldn’t wait to meet little Mateo.

And just as I remember, we had a great time during the shoot!

cutie pies! Can’t wait to photograph them again over Thanksgiving with the extended family! And Nic, do you need any more food photography?!? I’d love to help (as my tummy growls)!

Meet Jordan {Santa Monica Portrait Photographer}

Jordan is an amazing young woman! I met up with her at her home for her portrait session and while getting my gear ready for the shoot, we chatted about why she needed portraits.

She told me she is a motivational speaker, works with young girls teaching them to truly love themselves, and is writing her first book. She needs some portraits for her book cover and her blog. All at the ripe old age of 22.

I headed over to her blog, www.whoisjordanbrown.com and after reading many of her posts, I was truly inspired. Jordan has some amazing insights for girls to love themselves, live their lives to the fullest and be the best they can possibly be.

Check out her blog for some motivation and inspiration, and in the mean time, meet Jordan:

Pet Photography {Los Angeles Photographer}

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 20:27:57 +0000

I had an opportunity to photograph a couple of pets for an upcoming pet photo book (more on that later, don’t want to spill the beans!). I have worked with pets before, dogs and cats in particular, but this was my first time ever, photographing a fish.

Porky is not a standard goldfish.

I could have sworn he swallowed a golf ball! It was a fun, and an extremely challenging shoot, and it went great!!!

Meet Porky

After Porky, I photographed Din Din, a beautiful, well trained and extremely gentle pup. I forget the type of dog she is, but I do know she was a rescue brought back from China. The sweetest pup ever!

Allison ♥ Chris {Los Angeles Engagement Photographer}

Fri, 05 Aug 2011 21:27:35 +0000

Met up with Allison and Chris for their engagement session and we had the most beautiful afternoon at the beach!

Allison and Chris wanted to include their motorcycle in some of the shots so we headed up the coast to Pt. Mugu, and who could blame them, I would love a motorcycle ride up the coast!

Great afternoon with many, many laughs!

You guys made it awesome, looking forward to the wedding!

Miss E turns 3! {Santa Monica Children’s Photographer}

Time flies when you’re having fun!

Miss E turned 3 this year and for our portrait session she came dressed in her finest Minnie Mouse outfit and handful of balloons!

We had a blast at the park playing (shhh, don’t tell her I was actually working!), and getting some fun shots while Mom and Dad got some one on one time.

Thanks Miss E! And a big congrats to Mom on expecting her second little one!

Krystal & Louis {Santa Monica Engagement Photographer}

Met up with Krystal and Louis in Santa Monica for a fun, easy-breezy engagement session, and we had some laughs! Louis, you crack me up!

Looking forward to the wedding in October!

They grow up too fast! {Los Angeles Children’s Portrait Photography}

Wed, 08 Jun 2011 00:03:43 +0000

My niece, the light of my life, graduated from preschool a couple of weeks ago, and she’ll be starting kindergarten this fall. I can’t believe how fast she’s growing up! It feels like just yesterday I was photographing her for her first birthday….and now, here she is, 5 years old!

After graduation (and a few tissues later, yes, I cried during her graduation), the family went out for the day and enjoyed some SoCal sunshine.

My niece has, thankfully, grown out of the awkward posing for the camera stage and now she is just a big ham! She loves having her portrait taken!
