For the Love Photography Blog: Ventura County Family Photographer: Smith/Mattesich Family

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!

Ventura County Family Photographer: Smith/Mattesich Family

When you have the opportunity to get everyone in one place for the holidays, it's often a hectic but perfect time to capture a family photo. I was thrilled when Sherry called and asked about a quick session because her family has been an important part of my life. My brother and I grew up with her kids (who now have kids of their own!) and one of her sons is a wonderful pastor who performed our wedding. You couldn't meet a nicer group of people and I am honored to take their family photos this year.

Enjoy!
