The Photo Mom

Another gorgeous family from an April mini session. Thank you Drinia for coming all the way out to Malibu!

Just going through some recent photo shoots, this is one from early April. Leslie's little guy was such a ham! Thank you so much for booking your Easter session with me! I am already looking forward to our next session!

Stay tuned! I'm preparing for a Spring special. $150 for a photo shoot and 4 digital images. $25 per each additional digital image. This offer will be for all photo shoots from March 30 - April 16. I only have 10 openings for this special. Please email me at [email protected] or text me at 310-367-9011 if you would like to grab one of these sessions before they are gone!

A little slice of sunshine today. When was your last family photo? I have a few open spots for this week. This weeks special ends Saturday. $100 for the shoot plus 10 digital images!

Kayli, oh my goodness, are your boys ever fast! Despite their speedy little legs, we had a blast and got some great pictures during your mini shoot. Your boys are so adorable!

Thank you Cassi, it was a pleasure to work with you and your kids! I can't wait to see some of these canvas' on your walls!

Not just on your wedding day, but on any day... I loved this article. Pictures really aren't for us, in my mind, they are for the generations of family that will live after us. When my grandchildren (with four children, I better be getting a handful of lil grandbabies!), look back at photos of me, I hope they will be reminded of the love that I had for them, the memories they shared with me. NOT thoughts of my outwardly appearance.



"Pictures are for your granddaughter, who will one day see herself in you, and embrace her image for the first time.

On your wedding day, stand with your shoulders back and your arms held slightly away from your sides. Keep your chin up and your neck long. Check your teeth for lipstick and powder your nose. But remember: I’m not photographing you for Vogue or Marie Claire. I’m not making your picture for a CoverGirl campaign or the Miss America Pageant. I’m photographing you for the people who love you: for your husband or your wife, for your family and friends. I want your most joyful smile, your warmest embrace, your strongest gaze. And I’d stake everything on the certainty that that’s what your loved ones want to see when they see your photograph.

So let it go. We all have chubby arms when we’re hugging someone tightly. We all have a double-chin when we laugh really, really hard. We all have knobby knees when we’re ten.

And that’s exactly as it should be."

I never get tired of this one.
