I am a twenty-something photographer from southern California who recently relocated to Chicago with my fabulous husband and our puppy, Friday. I love to travel, meet new friends, shop, read, take pictures, and spoil other peoples' kids and pets rotten. This blog includes my rants and raves about my personal life as well as my adventures in the photography business.

Inspired by fashion, art, and pop culture, I love to capture images using natural light. Although I enjoy taking all kinds of pictures, my style veers towards lifestyle and editorial photography and my favorite subjects are people. I am a photographer purely for the love of it, and I think you'll see that reflected in my work.

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment!

2011 Favorites: Couples and Wedding Photography


I'm quite late in posting this, but I just couldn't pass up reflecting back on some of my favorite images from last year, especially since last year was such an amazing year of growth for me, personally and professionally.  And who doesn't love photographing people in love?  Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey!

Enjoy!
XOXO

Ventura County Family Photography: Emma and Ella


This is one of my favorite sessions ever!  I say that a lot, because I'm lucky to have amazing clients who bring so much to their photos and each session is special or unique.  However, these two cousins, who just happen to look like little dolls in these photos, are super sweet and have some of the most wonderful parents ever. 

We collaborated to bring some of the pieces together for a "rustic picnic chic" look (no easy task in balmy southern California) and with their matching outfits, I think you'll agree that this one is epic cute.  I've been saving this one for after Christmas as this session was partly a surprise for their lucky grandmother.  Plus, this is a perfect way to cap off my posts about the fall/winter holiday sessions we did this year. 


Happy Holidays!

Los Angeles Family Photography: Elissa


Elissa's little girl was just a few months old when we did a holiday session last year.  My how things have changed!  She's got quite a lot of personality now and is very fun and energetic.  You can tell Elissa loves being a mom and although her sweet little girl did not stay still for very long, she did allow us to play and take photos for almost an hour. 

I had a great time capturing their beautiful family.  And yes, it's the same basket!  She still fits in it, but not for long.  Elissa, thanks for letting me spend a beautiful day with you and Miss Z in gorgeous Marina del Rey!

Enjoy!
