I photographed Nicole and Ryan’s wedding way back in January. So when they contacted me a few months ago to take some christmas photos I was excited to see them again, even more so when I found out the cool (pun intended maybe) idea they … Read More →

This Family Life
While most of my photography centers around engagement shoots and weddings, I am approached sometimes to do maternity, family, or newborn photo shoots. These shoots allow me to photograph my clients during other transitional phases in their lives: the excited first-time parents about to embark … Read More →
Laila + Family
I find that since I have a daughter of my own (3 months) I’ve been given a whole new perspective and comfort level in photographing newborns/infants/toddlers. I didn’t even realize until about half way into the photo shoot with Laila (1 yr.) that I was … Read More →
Kamelia, Pete + Kyle
The Getty is a great museum for both the art and the architecture. So when Kamelia suggested it as a location to photograph her family, I jumped at the opportunity. It was a beautiful day out; the skies were clear, so much so you could … Read More →
Jami, Marc, + Joey
If you have been looking around on my website you will probably notice that this location is the same as another shoot that I did a little while ago. When you have a great location it’s hard not to use it more than once. I … Read More →

The Reyes Family

Valerie + Dean ~ Whittier Park
Dean just turned 1 and to document the occasion his mother Valerie wanted to get some photos taken. We headed to a local park in Whittier and found some great spots. In fact, I’m not sure if Dean even realized he was getting his photo … Read More →
Puth Family
Originally this family photo shoot was scheduled for Balboa Park in Van Nuys but after driving once through the area I realized that it was WAY too crowded. Luckily their backyard was recently landscaped and therefore a great alternative. I actually find that many times … Read More →
Kelly + Tanner
Tanner is probably one of the coolest kids around. He was so full of energy, making it easy to capture great moments. Kelly, Tanner’s mother was right there along side him goofing around.

Calderon Family ~ Valencia
It was a rainy Saturday when this shoot was scheduled and everyone was a bit apprehensive about having a baby out in this weather. However, despite the fact that we weren’t sure we’d be able to get anything, we just went for it and it … Read More →
