Holiday Session at the Santa Monica Pier

I didn't want to share these too soon and ruin any holiday card surprises. But, I figure they've arrived by now (fingers crossed).
As you can see the wind was blowing. But it was still sunny and gorgeous. Thankfully, after a series of wet weekends, a number of families were ready for their holiday sessions and have some fun for their photo session. Thanks McDonoughs.
I hope these make you smile. I did.
These next two crack me up every time I see them. Lauren is chasing the bird while little Kellen looks on. There's a five year difference between big sister and little man. I'm told these two images could summarize it all.



Look at those blue eyes.
Lauren was such a treat. I loved hanging with her.
Big sister's support shows through in this one.
Fun fun fun!

Ventura City Hall Wedding

I met Livia and Kamran upon arrival at the courthouse. Livia is Brazilian and Kamran is Persian. A beautiful match both inside and out as you can see. Their happiness, easy going nature and sense of humor are contagious and I feel so fortunate to have captured the special day with two new friends. Cheers to Livia and Kamran!

Halloweeeeeeeeeeeen!!!

Halloween day brought out hoards of families with children to Santa Monica's Montana Avenue. The stores had a trick-or-treat event that was great for the little ones. And with that, OMG, the costumes and personalities within were almost overwhelming as I tried to capture some with my camera. I had a ball as the kids were so happy and agreeable in letting a stranger take a picture of the costume they were so proud of. Very few were shy and some even gave me a pose fit for their character. I think you're gonna like these. Happy Halloween my friends! Do you have a favorite??? I'd love to hear.

Paula and Milan | Fine Art Wedding Album!

I'm very excited to show you the fine art album I just finished for a gorgeous summer wedding I shot this year. These are available for portrait sessions too or just about anything. This one is 10"x10". But there are many sizes to chose from. The albums lay flat and are printed on a matte paper. Check it out! The bride and groom loved it!

The bride was glowing, the rain earlier in the day cleared the skies, the sunset was breathtaking and the most beautiful wedding took place on the bluffs at the Redondo Beach Historic Library. Amy and James, congratulations and cheers to a wonderful future together! Here's a sampling of the highlights. Enjoy!
