Rith + Yulam's Wedding | Tivoli Terrace + Hak Heang Restaurant | Laguna Beach and Long Beach, CA

I had such a hard time picking these selects.  There were so many I wanted to include.  What a fun day and night!  Multiple venues and outfit changes.  Rith looked gorgeous in all of them!  And the gifting portion of the evening...hilarious! Rith and Yulam, thank you so much for letting me capture these for you.  Two more wonderful people who I can now call friends.  

Venue: Tivoli Terrace

Family Session from Grandma and Grandpa | Santa Monica, CA | Family and Children's Sessions

Last year was a year of archival heirloom albums.  I'm so happy with the beautiful books I was able to give my clients.  

These three books were for one family.  Grandma decided to have a session with all of her kids and grandkids who aren't together often enough.  I had so much fun.  And what a gorgeous bunch!  Three baby girl cousins who are so close in age and not quite a year old.   Look at those faces!  The pictures turned out amazing even with the unexpected winds outside that kept us shooting in the family home.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.  

Happy 2015!  It's going to be another great year.  I'm excited about all that lies ahead.

Bauer Family | Santa Monica, CA | Family Session

I get to see these faces quite often because they're my neighbors.  Aren't I lucky?  Every time I see the little one she greets me with a smile.  Such a sweet soul.  

I lagged in posting these.  She doesn't even look like this anymore.  But at least we got them.  Don't wait too long or you might miss it.

Family and Children's Photographer | Annenberg Beach House | Santa Monica, CA

We are spoiled in this town with the best weather!  Maybe I should stop mentioning it.  But when I look at these images, I'm reminded of how lucky we are.  The perfect temperatures put everyone in a good mood and that equals beautiful pictures.  This family was so much fun and so happy.  I must note that these are the last professional pictures of the little man and his gorgeous locks before he has his first haircut in celebration of his 3rd birthday.  So cute!
