I love this sun soaked fall engagement shoot with Shirin and Tom from my archives. These two are so natural in front of the camera and I had the best time with them. There’s something magical about Franklin Canyon. The trees feel old and wise and the light streaks through them just right. It feels like an oasis far removed from the city tucked away in the hills. I love photographing there & I hope you enjoy these!
Playful Maternity Shoot in Los Angeles
Last year, I was so busy shooting and editing that I’ve gotten behind on sharing my favorite sessions. Now I have a little more time in my office so I’m going through the archives to bring you some treasures.
I miss being able to do in home sessions! I think being in a couple’s space can make the photos feel personal and be a wonderful marker in people’s lives of a time and space. I’m looking forward to the passing of this pandemic so I can be safely in other’s spaces again; but for today, I’m happy to share this sweet in home maternity shoot in Los Angeles.
I just adore these two and their willingness to be playful. There are even guest appearances of one of their chickens their adorable pup. I hope you enjoy!
Sweet Maternity Shoot
I’m thrilled I was able to capture this beautiful moment in time for my friends Carri & Mike. We did a mini-session a studio in downtown Los Angeles before heading to Bronson Canyon which felt like a dreamy magical forest.
Colorful Anniversary Shoot in Downtown Los Angeles
I had the best time spending the afternoon with Loren and Joe. It was their ten year wedding anniversary and they wanted to do a photoshoot highlighting their love of each other, the city of Los Angeles, and their adorable pups Lincoln and Taft.
To get that urban and colorful vibe, we headed down to the arts district with its vibrant murals. Then we stopped by one of my favorite streets to see the downtown skyline before heading to picnic in Elysian Park. The day was filled with that wonderful LA sunshine and plenty of laughter and love.

Baby Grey
When my friend Valerie asked me to photograph her little one's first birthday celebration, I was so excited. As you can see, baby Grey is vibrant and her family is the sweetest.
The party took place in Cindy's which is a diner just down the street from my house in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. It's a cozy and delightful place full of color and yummy comfort food. The historic diner was renovated a few years back and I love the vibe!
It seems like just yesterday that I was doing Valerie's gorgeous milk bath maternity shoot and I can't believe that baby Grey is already one! Whenever I sit down to edit my photos, I remember why I love photography. Capturing those beautiful moments of connection get me every time.
Dreamy Maternity Shoot
One of my favorite things about photography is the connection I feel with my subjects, and it's a truly special day when I get to work with dear friends. I'm so thrilled for Rachel + Rico and their little girl who will be arriving in the next few weeks. A stunning Rachel and I started our shoot in a soaking tub with a luxurious milk bath. I love how the the intimate setting focuses on her form.
I adore these two and the tenderness they share. It was an honor to both capture their love and this unique moment in time. This baby is going to be one lucky wee one and I can't wait to meet her!
We found a beautiful sun drenched path in the Hollywood Hills and there was a lovely little trail with a secret garden and wildflowers along the way. It was a sweet and leisurely stroll filled with laughs and kisses.
I am so excited for these two as they enter their next life adventure together.
