Miss Rylie

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Rylie and her family for the second time. It’s only been three months since I’ve seen her last and she’s already crawling around and even standing! And she is such a happy baby, especially when Mommy sings to her – that really gets her laughing. What a joy! I can’t wait to see her again soon. I’m sure at this rate she’ll be walking in no time.

Here are a few favorites from the day.

With Grammy…

Starting to get a little tired.

Standing all by herself!

Pearl needed a portrait too.

The Kaplan Family

Last week I went over to the Kaplan’s house to grab a few pics of Sophie and the rest of the family… including their dog Howie. Even Grandma and Grandpa were in town and got in on the action. Sophie was so fun to photograph… she loves to look right into the camera and she loves to lay on her back and laugh. What a cute and happy baby!

Check out a few favorites from the day.

Check out how cute Howie is!

Rylie In The House!

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Rylie for the first time. She arrived 4 months ago healthy and happy. She’s such a bundle of joy. During the shoot she was smiling and laughing and scooting herself across the floor…. absolutely too cute! And she loved it when Mommy held her up in the air. We got some big laughs with that move. Congratulations Rachel and Kevin on the new addition to your family… she’s beautiful.

Check out some of the favorites from the day.

The Ritchers

Recently I shot some family photos of one of my close friends Nikki and her family. We met at the Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA and had a blast. These three are so fun loving and goofy and get along so well. They were all cracking up constantly and thinking of foolish things to do… that’s my kind of photo shoot! Love you guys! Check out some of my favorites below.

The Daly Family

Today I stopped by to see the Daly Family and take their holiday portrait. What a beautiful family! Little Beatrice just keeps getting cuter and cuter if that’s even possible. Such a sweetheart! Check out a few favorites below.

Larchmont Charter Fundraiser

On Sunday I participated in a fundraiser for a local school, Larchmont Charter West Hollywood. I photographed seven family portraits that day with more than half the proceeds going to benefit the school. I always enjoy helping out in the community and especially contributing to children’s education. And not to mention I had a blast meeting all the families… what a pleasure! Take a look at a few of my favorites from the day below.

The Datri’s

The Goldberg’s

The Mandel’s

The Rouse’s

The Sarner’s

The Staat Family

On Sunday I went over to the Staat’s home for their yearly portrait session. I’ve been photographing them for the past three years but this year was a little different because they have a new addition to their family… little Jake. Jake is 3 months old and has the best big sister a guy could ask for… Payton. She loves her little brother so much and wants to hold him all the time. They’re so cute! Check out some of the favorites from the day.

The MacLean Family

Today I met the MacLean family at the Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA for some family portraits. I love shooting here because you get a little urban flair with a nice garden setting. And not to mention the lighting is always great. We had a lot of fun goofing around and getting some fun pics. Lauren is quite the model and all though she won’t admit it, she loves to have her picture taken. Check out some of her moves below. She is too cute!

Beatrice’s First Birthday

On Sunday I joined Beatrice and family to celebrate her first birthday. What a wonderful celebration this was. The family started the day with brunch and then filled the rest of the afternoon with laughs. This is such a fun loving and close family. Beatrice was showered with gifts and attention… something every girl deserves on her special day. What a lucky little lady. She is absolutely one of the cutest little girls I’ve seen and not camera shy at all. Check out some of my favorites from the day.

Grandpa knows how to get this one to laugh.

Mmmmm cake!

Opening presents with Mom.

The cousins goofing around.

Juliette, Josh and Family

I recently had the great pleasure of photographing Juliette and Josh again and this time with their whole family. What a treat to be a part of such a loving family getting together. And not to mention Juliette and Josh. They are a couple of really awesome kids… so sweet and so fun to photograph. Check out a few favorites from the day.
