Fall Fun in a Brooklyn Park | New York Child Photographer

September 20, 2011

Sunday was the perfect Fall day for a session. The temperature was just right, the sky was a vibrant blue, everything was pointing towards a fun shoot. By the time we finished our session, it felt as if we had known each other for years. I had a wonderful time the entire afternoon. It is always a treat to photograph a family that loves having fun and being silly. I love capturing the genuine smiles on the parents faces as well as the kids. :)

Here are a few of my favorites from Sunday’s shoot…

Tales & Toys Mini-Sessions | El Segundo Child Photographer

August 31, 2011

It’s that time of year again! I am excited to announce that I will be partnering with Tales & Toys for a day of Mini-Sessions. Tales & Toys is a wonderful kids store now located at 125 A Richmond St. El Segundo, CA.

Here are the details on how to qualify for one of the sessions…

Last weekend, Tales & Toys had their grand re-opening party. I stopped by to say hi and to grab a couple of photos.

Now that Tales & Toys has a big space in the back, I know they are now offering classes and events. Check out their Facebook Page for more information.

Two Sisters | Studio City Child Photographer

August 22, 2011

I genuinely enjoy all of my sessions. I find kids and the way they see the world incredibly fascinating. Sometimes things just line up perfectly, and this session was one of those times. I usually blog about a session after it happens, but this one was a surprise, so I had to keep it quiet for a few months. It wasn’t until recently that I realized I never posted about it. When I mentioned that things line up perfectly, I really meant it. This session was such a delight, and to top it off their 3 year old actually kept the secret about the photo session, so mom was genuinely surprised when she received her gift

We had a wide variety at this session from pjs to fancy dresses to playing around. I look forward to photographing these girls again in the future. A (the older sister) and E are so different, yet very much sisters. I adore the photo of the two of them in front of the tree. The way little E asserts herself as the protector is priceless.

Thank you for a wonderful session, G Family!

Yogala Echo Park | Los Angeles Photographer

July 19, 2011

I have been searching for an inspiring yoga studio on and off since my move to Los Angeles. I was spoiled in NYC with a wonderful teacher, and I have very high standards when it comes to what I expect from a teacher. Then last March, the lovely Samantha Jones, opened a beautiful studio, Yogala, right in my neighborhood. I have not only found my yoga studio, I have also made new friends with both teachers and students. Samantha created a gorgeous space, and I am thrilled that I was able to document it for her. Every single teacher I have taken a class with has been fantastic. One of my favorite parts of Yogala is that I am always running into Yogala teachers taking classes. I think it speaks very highly that teachers make the time to come to classes.

The studio offers a wide variety of classes for both adults as well as kids. One of the cutest things I have ever witnessed is the Tip-Toe Ballet Class (photos below).

If you are in Echo Park, CA, I highly recommend stopping by and taking a class or two

Married Monkeys | New York Photographer

July 14, 2011

On July 3rd, two of my favorite monkeys got married on a beautiful apple orchard. I cannot wait to go through all the images. I was just there as a guest, but I could not resist photographing one of the most beautiful people I know on her wedding day.

Cutie Pies | Los Angeles Food Photographer

July 13, 2011

A while back, Mollie Brown and I spent a morning photographing some of her delicious treats. We shot a few rolls of film, because food just looks better on film. During the shoot, I had to sample all the food to make sure it tasted as good as it looked. It did.

If you are interesting in her yummy treats, check out her Cutie Pies Facebook Page for the latest news.

Here are a few of my favorites…
