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 Portrait Photographer: Mary


It's been almost a year since I'd last seen Mary and we did a great session in Pasadena.  We both have since moved out of state, so it was exciting to get back together and be amongst friends in LA.  I'm a sucker for great shoes, so I was pretty excited when she brought out a killer dress and some seriously FIERCE shoes.  Add some amazing light and this mini session turned out fantastic.

Mary, thanks for bringing sexy back.  :)  Here's a peek at her session.



Enjoy!

Los Angeles Family Photographer: Anastasia


As part of a larger session, we did mini-sessions with some of the ladies and their families.  Anastasia was a little worried at first that her adorable little girl would feel too shy around me to pose for photos.  Once she warmed up, though, we got a few smiles and she revealed her sweet personality.  And those eyes!  She has some of the most soulful eyes I've ever seen a little girl have.

Here are a few from our quick session...


Enjoy!

Los Angeles Portrait Photographer: Elissa and Friends


This was one of my longest (almost four hours!) sessions but also one of the most fun.  When Elissa contacted me about doing a session with some of her close girlfriends, their significant others, and families I was like, "I'm in!"  From the first moment we all met, they made me feel like one of them and we happily got to know each other while they caught up, primped, deck changed (!) and took some photos.  They were such a fun and kind group.

Thank you all for welcoming me and special thanks to Elissa for putting this together!

First up, some photos of just the beautiful ladies...



Enjoy!
