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! 

Los Angeles Family Photography: John and Guille

It's always fun and amazing for me to photograph little kids for their annual holiday sessions.  They change so much from year to year, and John and Guille's adorable daughter was no exception.  Last year she toddled around and mostly just played, but this year she's bilingual, she wanted to organize her stuffed animals, and she can literally run around.  It was a challenge to get her into the photo with her parents, but well worth it when I saw her sweet smile in some of the frames.

Enjoy!

Los Angeles Family Photographer: John and Guille

I was really excited to meet up with John and Guille on the west side of Los Angeles for this session.  I'd attended Guille's baby shower and seen regular photo updates of her baby girl, but only met her once.  Their daughter is just shy of a year old in these photos and what a personality!  She has the cutest expressions and occasionally when really excited sticks her tongue out!  I couldn't take enough photos of that! 

I love capturing the little quirks and mannerisms that are specific to an age - when she looks back ten, twenty years from now she'll point to the photos and ask "Why did I stick my tongue out?"  And John and Guille will be able to smile and laugh and say, "You just did at that age!"  Those are the reasons it's so great to take regular family photos and capture those fleeting phases and cute faces.



Enjoy!
