Tatiana Byron had just finished her beautiful Wedding Salon show at The London West Hollywood on May 3rd. The very next morning I was at her place to take photos of her son. Phew, and I thought I was a busy lady. Let me tell you, this kid is C-U-T-E. He is cuter...

Family Portrait Day is always a fun day. A bunch of families come, a bunch of student photographers come, and we shoot until we are dizzy. Again, I was the instructor so I usually only take a few teaching shots so my class can see how I might pose or capture or direct a shot....

What great fun this family was! Last Friday I met the Tumbas family at Lacy Park in San Marino. We walked all around the beautiful park and they let me sit them on the ground several times (thanks!) Just a side note to anyone thinking of getting a portrait done with me: I often will...

The VanGinkel Family has been a “Save The Date Photo” supporter for years! I love my long time clients! They are always so much fun to work with and I love seeing their kids grow up through the years. Josh, the dad, is the brother to the husband of one of my best friends, Colleen....

Every year I do a family photo shoot with the Cuevas Family along with the VanGinkel Family. The two men are partners/owners of IFS Planning, a wealth management firm based in Orange County. We have managed to do the shoot around Thanksgiving weekend because I am sure to drive down for family visits so I...
