I have known these folks for many, many years when me and Jocelyn worked back at a photo lab together in Burbank. I’ve seen her get married (although I wasn’t there since I was shooting one of my own that day), have her first baby boy, then my little girl, then her, then me! We ended up buying houses out in Santa Clarita a few blocks from one another and moved in a week apart. Needless to say, she and her family are more like our family than just friends. Our kids have literally grown up together and we just love them to pieces!! It’s hard to believe how fast all of our kids are growing up and changing. I’m sure it gets worse at time goes on! Jocelyn is now helping me out here in the studio and I am so happy to have a great friend doing it. I guess we should start living together now since my little A is convinced she will marry E-Pain one day! I had a blast shooting their family pics (Loving the chickens!!) thought I would share….

Maggie- the studio session

Baby #6 of my good friend, Amber. They came over for a bit and I quickly snatched this little lady for a few pics in my new (almost finished) studio. With those gorgeous blue eyes, creamy skin, and beautiful little rosy lips, how could I resist?

George & Stan

Congrats to this great couple! A few days after their portrait session, Stan proposed to George (Georgina)!! So it really ended up being more of an engagement session! Shot downtown again in a few more my most favorite areas!!

Miss T

I have known T for almost 5 years now from my local Moms Club here in Santa Clarita. I am so lucky to know such a wonderful group of ladies!! T and her mom came over for a playdate and I wanted to show them my new studio setup!! I seem to have gathered a little collection of clothing (mostly girl stuff thanks to my little ladies), backgrounds, and lighting gear. Here are a few of my favs from our impromptu photo session!

I was so happy that I got to shoot this great family again! I did a session for them about a year or so ago and I can’t believe how big the kids have gotten! I remember the ones I had done of Sam were some of my favorite shots of her playing around in her bedroom. We decided to head outdoors for this one and do more of an urban style shoot. Like usual, Sam & Luke were just perfect and I am loving some of these images too! In fact, I even recruited Sam to be a superhero for a clothing line I am working with. I’ll be posting some of those in the weeks to come!

Kearsten

Awesome downtown L.A. senior session of Kearsten from Canyon. Not only is this girl beautiful but she’s also an amazing swimmer! While working with her and hearing about her training schedule alone I was blown away at her dedication to her sport. Her mom, Gina, joined us on our adventure and is just the nicest lady. So sweet! We traveled around to some of my favorite locations and found a few new ones that I’ll for sure be going back to! Kearsten showed up for the shoot with tons of great clothes and accessories (no wonder she was voted “best dressed”) and was a natural in front of the camera. She prefers pictures of herself not smiling but I think she is stunning when she does smile too! Hope you love the photos K and thank you for a great shoot!!

Carbone Family

These here are my Missouri peeps. We’ve been trying to go visit them every year and always have so much fun when we’re there. They knew of this great little woodsy park and thought I would like it for the pictures of the kids. We only had about 15 minutes but we did a few cute ones! Of course, I had to sneak one with my little monkies too!

Little G

Since I just did another session with this little guy, I thought I better hurry up and post the first one! I can’t believe how the time flies! They were a referral from Tough Cookies and when I showed up to their home I was in heaven!! Talk about a photographers dream! Beautiful light, unique art pieces, color!! Everything that I love!! I’ll be posting G’s next session just as soon as I’m a bit more caught up!
