Now that the holidays are in full swing, we thought it was the perfect time to once again offer our very popular mini photo sessions! These sessions last 30 minutes and are a fast and fun way to get the perfect mix of portraits for the season. Whether you are looking for gifts for the grandparents, custom photo jewelry for mom, or simply a digital negative for your holiday card, this is the perfect last minute opportunity to get everything you need just in time for the holidays.

*Orders must be placed by December 11th in order to guarantee holiday delivery. Albums and other custom products cannot be guaranteed for holiday delivery, only prints, digital negatives and photo jewelry.

What a fun family! Grandma even came over to do a neat generational photo series with her grandkids and son. Ainsley and Pierce were both complete characters – big brother Pierce was totally full of energy and ready to giggle at a moment’s notice while Ainsley was pretty content to just be super-cute and play with Pierce’s castoff Matchbox car packaging (and ride his awesome toy car too of course)! You know, I’m always amazed by how vibrant different kiddos eyes are – and Ainsley just takes the cake. Can you believe that color? Such a magical wildflower blue, and in different light they took on different shades! Stunning :) Sure enjoyed capturing these for you guys, can’t wait to share the rest!

Mr. Oliver and little Cossette were SO cute. Oliver was a total bundle of energy and his sparkling, laughing personality really comes through in the images – love the one moment below where I managed to catch him pausing for breath! And Cossette – such a beautiful name for such a beautiful little girl! She was so highly aware and just kept locking eyes with the camera – love it!

Baby Leo is a super adorable little guy. We photographed him and his family just a few months ago but this time stopped by their house to take some family shots with their rhodesian ridgeback, Harlan. While I was there I took a few more shots of Leo since he has that winning combination of blue eyes and red hair that I just adore. Here are a few of my favorites…







I photographed little Lily this afternoon in Hidden Hills, what a beautiful neighborhood! It was so quiet and serene… quite a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. It was a joy photographing Lily and her family and I got a ton of shots I just LOVE… hope you love them too :)










This family was soooo super cute together. Little Ava Rose was a born super-star – I can tell you that much right now. She just has such a spark and pizazz! Loved shooting these for you guys – can’t wait to show you the rest!






This family was so delightful. I found myself laughing the whole time – they are a joy to be around and they are so ecstatic about Henry, well, its just contagious! LOVED capturing these images for you guys – can’t wait to show you the rest!

Jackson is one of those neat subjects who is just so natural in front of the camera – and those soulful eyes!!! He is the darling son of one of our favorite ladies ever – Paige. Paige is one of the owners of the super-cool store in Larchmont Village, The Little Seed – if you haven’t already heard of it or checked it out – do it! The place is phenomenal for anything you could ever need for your little one(s) and they are very environmentally conscious.

Check out Jackson below as he hammed it up with his sweetheart of a dog, Whiskey – who also happens to be the oldest dog I’ve ever met (17 yrs!). What a fun shoot. Thanks guys, for letting us capture your magic – we heart you!




I had a blast photographing Austin and his parents in the park this afternoon. Austin is SUCH a happy baby and he totally captured my heart! He was constantly laughing, smiling, talking and most of all… MOVING. This squirmy little boy is just learning to walk on his own and boy does he move fast. He has the sweetest little smile and the biggest open mouth kisses, he kept me laughing the entire session. Thanks for a great afternoon, I can’t wait to show you guys the rest :)
