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!

Los Angeles Newborn Photographer: Greg and Elissa


What is better than getting to photograph a six week old baby?  Also capturing images of a brand new family!  Baby Zooey was still less than two months old when we did this fun session in Los Angeles and I loved every minute of it!

I first met Elissa a couple years ago and was totally taken with her whip-smart wit and sense of humor.  When she proposed taking photos of her newborn baby outside somewhere I paused for a moment.  I usually take newborn photos within the first two weeks of life and in their home, with a heater running on full blast.  Then I realized what a fun creative challenge this would be and that Elissa and Greg would be the perfect parents to do this kind of session with - well prepared but laid back enough to make it work.

It was a little chilly, but we wrapped Zooey up and worked quickly to capture a few images of her in her adorable dress.  The fading autumn light in these photos is absolutely gorgeous and I'm so glad we were able to take advantage of the last nice week in southern California.  Here are a few favorites...



Enjoy!
