For the Love Photography Blog: April: Portrait

I am a California girl at heart who is lucky enough to live in one of the most wonderful, un-California cities in the world, New York. Most days, you'll find me exploring my new home with my amazing husband and our dog, Friday. I love to travel, eat just about anything with peanut butter, 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!

April: Portrait

It's been a treat for me that my last two sessions were with strong, beautiful, and all- around fabulous women! It's even more fun when you meet a client and realize she is someone you'd want to be friends with anyway. From the first moment we met over coffee, April charmed me with her sweet, bubbly personality and I especially love the photos from the session where she is laughing - you can't see, but behind the camera, I'm laughing too.

We met at the beautiful University of Southern California campus and I think this session captures April's vivacious and fun spirit.

April may not be a professional model, but she definitely knows how to work it.

Besides being just naturally stunning, she is also a professional make up artist and did her own make up for this session. Ladies, if you are booking a session, you should consider having a pro do your make up - it really makes a difference!
