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 Photography: Emma and Ella


This is one of my favorite sessions ever!  I say that a lot, because I'm lucky to have amazing clients who bring so much to their photos and each session is special or unique.  However, these two cousins, who just happen to look like little dolls in these photos, are super sweet and have some of the most wonderful parents ever. 

We collaborated to bring some of the pieces together for a "rustic picnic chic" look (no easy task in balmy southern California) and with their matching outfits, I think you'll agree that this one is epic cute.  I've been saving this one for after Christmas as this session was partly a surprise for their lucky grandmother.  Plus, this is a perfect way to cap off my posts about the fall/winter holiday sessions we did this year. 


Happy Holidays!

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!
