My First Real Fall Photo Shoot | New York Family Photographer

October 26, 2013

After 5 years of being in business, I finally had the chance to photograph a real Fall Session (leaves and all)!  I first met and fell in love with this family three years ago when they still lived in LA.  It was an absolute delight to see them again this year.

Here are a few of my favorites…

Hasselblad & Me | Los Angeles Child Photographer

September 7, 2013

Shot on my father’s Hasselblad…

I have seen a lot of posts lately comparing digital to film. Some prefer film others prefer digital (as long as they can use actions that make the images kind of look like film).

For me, it is more than just shooting film. This photograph was shot on the same camera that my father used to photograph me as a little girl. In fact, the camera is older than I am (it is close to 50 years old). And, as long as they keep making film, I will be able to use it to photograph others. How many of today’s three year-olds will be able to say that they are using the same camera that was used to photograph them when they were little?

In an era where everything needs to happen now, it is important to stay connected to your roots. My roots are intertwined with this camera.

It isn’t about film or digital. It is about the soul, the life of the camera. And I can tell you without a doubt that a camera that is almost 50 has seen a lot. And it sure has a lot of soul.

Welcome Baby L! | Venice Child Photographer

September 2, 2013

This is the 4th time that I have had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful family.  It is always special when you are asked to capture a newborn session.  There is an indescribable newness that exists between each member of the family.  It is an honor to have the chance to capture the newness that currently exists in the Allison & Josh’s expanding family.

Two Seniors Are Better Than One | Pasadena Senior Portrait Photographer

August 11, 2013

Last week, I photographed my first Seniors and my first twins.  Sometimes you meet people (kids or adults), and you can just tell that they are good people.  That was how I felt the moment I met these two.  I had a wonderful afternoon photographing them.  I am delighted that I was able to capture them as they are at these moment in their lift.

Here are a couple of favorites from the afternoon…
