The Silber Family | Los Angeles Child Photographer
November 22, 2009
I had a great time meeting the Silber Family today, despite little C’s first reaction to me. He was convinced I was a baby sitter, which in his eyes, meant that his parents were leaving him with a stranger. Thank goodness for his lovely little fire truck! I loved so many images from this session. Between the clothing, the leaves and the sun it actually looks like it is fall in California 🙂
A big thank you to Rob for setting this up!!
A New Hurley Family :) | Los Angeles Child Photographer
November 15, 2009
I have to admit all in all today has been a pretty rough day. With that said, the time that I spent photographing the Hurley’s was a wonderful few hours in the middle of said rough day. Â I had a wonderful time meeting these girls and their mother (oh, and let’s not forget Jude!).
Here are some of my favorites from the day!
The Calcagno Family | Los Angeles Child Photographer
November 7, 2009
This morning I had a great shoot with the Calcagno Family. Their son was lovely, and their daughter was super cute. We got to move around the house a bunch, although the light in the master bedroom was so beautiful, it was hard for me to shoot elsewhere. V (their son) was a very good camera assistant too! This was the first family that I shot a little film for, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Here are some of my favorites….
Halloween | Los Angeles Child Photographer
November 1, 2009
I need to start out by thanking my parents for all the patience, comforting, and walking around that comes along with celebrating Halloween with your children. Especially that one year when my niece and I went to this one house were a fake body rose up from a grave in front of the house we were walking towards.  We screamed louder than one would have thought possible, and we ran back to the car fast.  My dad calmed us down and walked us back to the house, slightly shielding us from the body, but also explaining that it was not real.  Then there was the year where I had a Halloween party.  My mom dressed as a witch, and she even removed her bridge to reveal a large gap where her 4 front teeth should have been.  She went to the store to buy an actual tongue to use for part of the haunted house, and she even took the time to peel grapes so that we could use them for eyeballs 🙂 Thank you mom and dad for all the years you spent with me on Halloween!
I mention all this because last night I had my first glimpse at what parents go through on Halloween through adult eyes. Â I spent the night with my boyfriend’s brother and his family. Â When I arrived I was greeted by their eldest. She was already dressed up as sleeping beauty. Â I helped get their younger daughter ready as a butterfly. I think the sneakers were a nice added touch to her costume. Â Their son was the smiliest batman I have ever seen. We went tricker treating, and we handed out candy. Â Their younger daughter got scared when the neighbors turned on their Halloween sounds, so I carried her the whole night. Â My arm is still a bit soar today, but I really don’t mind a bit. Â She and I even worked out an agreement where if I said trick or treat at each home, she would say thank you. Â It almost worked, but the majority of her thank yous were whispered into my shoulder. Â I left around 8:30 and was ready for bed shortly there after. Â I had one of the nicest Halloweens I have had in a long time (barring last year which was lovely, but for very different reasons). Â It really made me appreciate all the Halloweens my parents spent with me.
I am attaching a few of my favorite photographs from early in the evening. Â I hope every one had a safe fun Halloween!
