Hi All!

I’m so sorry this 10 on 10 is coming a day late. Looks like I have been slacking the last couple months! I apologize.

This month, in honor of Mother’s Day (which happened yesterday on the real 10 on 10 day!) I’m showing you 10 photos of awesome moms I had the privilege to photograph last month. It’s been busy!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms in the world.

So, I was going to have a TOTALLY different post because I went to MAGIC CASTLE last night, but they unfortunately don’t allow photography inside the castle. It’s super top secret and totally exclusive and important and fun and I’m really sad I couldn’t take photos.

But worry not! I have some cute baby photos to make up for it.

Meet Katherine. I met her last month when she was less than a week old! She is the newest addition to the beautiful Goodwin family and she is settling in quite well. And, of course, Vivienne is as cute as ever!

Congrats, Goodwins!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Today, I’m sharing some photos from a few weeks ago when I had breakfast with Them Goodwins at the Ace Hotel in DTLA. This is my third time photographing this gorgeous family (and another baby girl on the way in November!) and I love seeing how much Vivienne has grown since the first time I met them.

Congrats on the newest addition, Elsie and Bobby! I can’t wait to take some maternity photos in a couple months!

Abramson Family Portrait Session – Savannah, GA

You guys, I love family portraits. I’m not talking about stiff, posed, boring family photos. I’m talking about family photos where you can actually feel the love through the images.

I took these photos when I was in Savannah for my friend Lindy’s wedding. I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Not only was the weather perfect, but  I feel like I got to know the Abramson family so well. We had so much fun! And the photos oozed happiness.

During the shoot, we got Grandma in there too. And we even ran into my handsome friend, Austin the Golden Retriever!

All in all, a perfect session (complete with beach balls and giant balloons, of course!).

Keeping Busy…

Last week, I got back from an AMAZING business trip (look at me being all adult and saying “business trip”) in Europe, where I was literally hired to take photos for a week, and my job description involved shopping and food.  I know, I still am pinching myself that I landed that gig. I never quite hit the level of jet lag I was expecting when I got back.

I’ll talk more about my trip soon (as soon as I get through all the photos!), but for now, here’s a sneak peek into the welcome back weekend: an engagement shoot on Saturday and a family shoot on Sunday.  I couldn’t have asked for a better job.  And to top it all off, today is my one-year anniversary working with Oh Joy!  Hooray!

A Gorgeous Setting + A Gorgeous Family – Chino Hills, CA

This is my second time working with Vivienne, Bobby and Elsie, who asked me back to take some family portraits a little before the holidays last year.  This time we met in a gorgeous neighborhood with some of the most scenic views one could ask for.

The weather was gorgeous, too, and we timed the shoot for the best time of day: right before sunset, when the light casts a perfect golden hue over everything it touches.  In cinematography, it’s referred to as the “magic hour.”  One glimpse at these photos and you’ll understand why you should plan to do the same for your next shoot…

I can’t believe it has already been a month since the first 10 on 10 post!  So much has happened since: I drove up the coast, turned 27, photographed a wedding, went to a family reunion,  helped on some fun photo shoots with Oh Joy!, did a juice cleanse, and even made time to see The Conjuring.

The 10 on 10 post for this month is from my family reunion.  My grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last month (top that!), so we all got together in Florida to celebrate.  Since I live on the opposite coast from my entire family, I don’t get to see them too often.  It was so nice to have everyone together, especially in a sunny place where my plate was never empty and the Pina Coladas never ran dry (did I mention the cleanse?).

You get a bonus picture in this 10 on 10 because I like to break the rules. I break rules like I break… dance.  I’m also bad at making decisions.  And I don’t breakdance.

(I should also mention my Grandma’s name is Rita. That’s why my Grandpa is holding a cocktail napkin with booze on it near her face.)

Happy First Birthday, Vivienne!

I always love when I have cute models to work with!  Meet Vivienne, she reached her first big milestone and turned one year old this month!  To celebrate, her parents got her a bright pink cake and some balloons.  Then we spent the morning playing with toys and swinging on the swings in the park.

I had a blast watching Vivienne try cake for the first time.  She didn’t really know what to think— check out that face after her first bite of icing!

Maybe her sweet tooth just hasn’t grown in yet.

Happy birthday, Vivienne!

Los Angeles Family / Newborn Session : Charlotte June

Last week I had the joy of photographing my friends Sarah and Chip and their beautiful two month old Charlotte June!  I couldn’t have asked for a better behaved baby.  At first she was very confused as to why this strange lady had a camera in her face, but it wasn’t long before she was hamming it up for the camera!  It was a beautiful sunny and warm day in LA, so after some nap time shots we took a walk to a nearby playground to finish out the photo shoot.

I’d like to thank Chip and Sarah for opening up their home to me and allowing me to climb all over their furniture and dress up little Charlotte in various outfits, baskets, blankets and buckets.  I had a blast!
