Expanding Family | Los Angeles Child Photographer

October 5, 2011

I fell in love with Sophia the first time I met her back in 2009 during an instore promotion with Janie and Jack.  I secretly hoped her parents would contact me again.  🙂  A few months later, I was asked to photograph Sophia’s first birthday.  It was a beautiful day after a long week of non-stop rain.  Since our first meeting I have become good friends with her parents.  Every session is fun and carefree.  Sophia has a very strong will, and it is a pleasure to watch her grow into it.

A few months ago, Kristine mentioned they were expecting another child.  It was a delight to have the chance to photograph her family again.  It is a good thing we had the session when we did, because their little one arrived three weeks early (less than a week after our session)!

I cannot wait to meet her!

In the meantime, here are a few favorites from our maternity session.

 

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!

New York, New York |New York City Child Photographer

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.
