I thought it would be fun add something other than client sessions to the content of this blog. I have loved to cook since I was a little girl. In fact, my first job ever was teaching cooking classes at the Agoura Hills Parks and Rec. My mother is an amazing cook and well known…
These girls really are on the right track. It’s been my pleasure to follow their progress throughout the school year with regular (weekly) updates on what they’ve been learning and how they’ve been applying it. I love that someone who started out as simply a client is now so much more of a true friend…
I’ve never been a huge fan of your typical school portraits. I mean, they do a pretty good job considering how many kids they have to get through in such a short amount of time, but to me that’s never been conducive to really capturing a child’s personality. And if I’m going to have a…
It’s amazing to me how I can sometimes show up at the beach and still have what feels like an entire beach to ourselves – a private beach almost, in summer in beautiful Laguna Beach. This was one of those days. I was super excited for this session, because I had so much fun with…
While I had the patriotic set up in my studio for the 4th of July this year, I thought I would use it to capture my niece Emery’s age three portraits. She was visiting for the Independence day holiday and was dressed up super spiffy for the occasion. Because her birthday is this month (the…
Independence day is one of my favorite holidays. I love the freedoms that we enjoy in this country and I appreciate the sacrifices that have been made so that we can enjoy them. I am proud to be an American. I love spending the day with family and the pancake breakfasts and the BBQs and…
I’m so excited to have just launched a whole new line of products. Whatever look you have going on in your home, I can create a piece of art that fits your decor perfectly – from framed pieces printed on fine art paper, to the ever popular canvas gallery wraps to one of my newest…
While I love the dreamy feeling evoked by these portraits by the pier, in reality it was a cold and windy last day of May. This baby, who travelled all the way out from Tenessee, was such a good sport however, and really seemed to enjoy the sand and the waves, in spite of the…
Father’s Day was officially signed into law in 1972 by President Richard M. Nixon. But did you know that the Father’s Day celebrations as we know them began in 1910 thanks to the efforts of Ms Sonora Louise Smart Dodd, the loving daughter of a civil war veteran and widower who raised his 5 children after his…
I’ve had my eye on this adorable baby since she was born, and always hoped I would have the opportunity to capture her charming ways! But I live and work so far away… Fortunately her family lives in the Conejo valley near where I grew up and where my husband is from as well, so…
After we were done taking photos at the park, we came back to Juliet’s home to get some photos of her first try at cake – a birthday cake in this case – in her very own bedroom. Juliet wasn’t sure at first, but once she dug in was pretty enthusiastic about the cake. Even…
Marci is a friend of mine, who I didn’t know all that well in High School, but have gotten to know better on Facebook. I’ve always thought that she had the loveliest family, and was super excited when she asked me to come out to take photos of her darling daughter Juliet for her first…
