Christmas Photos

Family Christmas & Turning 4!

I always look forward to seeing this family! This is my 5th year photographing them! I like how they take a "watch us grow" approach to their family sessions. There are a couple of poses we always do and it's been so fun to watch the kids grow up! I know it will be a ton of fun for them to look back on. Also, what makes these shoots so fun is Donna's impeccable fashion sense and Black & White living room! I really had fun with the giant white balloons and the kids outfits made it so whimsical! This is such a gorgeous family, Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Liam!

Christmas Maternity | Long Beach, CA

This is a family that completely embodies why I do what I do. Photography is so much more than a job to me. It's a passion, it's a joy, and it leads me to meeting amazing families such as this one! I had the honor of photographing Brian & Vanessa's Wedding almost 2 years ago and when they told me they were expecting a little boy I cried happy tears for them! Bella is going to be such an amazing big sister. She's witty and inquisitive and has a heart the size of the Universe. As a couple, Brian & Vanessa actively choose each other and their family every day and they are an inspiration. I am so fortunate to be able to capture these life changing moments for them, but more than that, they have become my friends! Photography is more than a job, it's a gift that keeps giving.
