How adorable is this sweet little family! The Kobayashi's are friends of family and I was thrilled to photograph them and the newest addition to the family, Baby Ryu! Little Hannah is a ham and was just amazing. She is so sweet and loving with baby Ryu, I couldn't get enough. Ryu, had a different plan for the session than the rest of us, by staying awake. The poor little tike didn't sleep at all. I am sure he passed out and slept all night, I tell you modeling is rough! Luckily we still got some adorable family shots and a few of baby Ryu. Best of all we got some amazing shots of Hannah, who found the pink tutu in our props and never wanted to take it off, lol. It was a fun session and I was happy to capture the Kobayashi family! Looking forward to watching baby Ryu and little Hannah grow! ;-)

Jane and Gabe are adorable, goofy and just all around fun! I loved working with them and capturing their fun loving personalities during their e-session. I am sure many of you know that Jane is my hair stylist and she is amazing! I love her and am so honored that she selected me as her wedding photographer. I can't wait for their big day, which is at one of my favorite locations, Marvimon. I am so excited! YAY! I love this e-session which we ended up doing in two parts, because the sun refused to cooperate the first time around. But both session were amazing and full of character as are Jane and Gabe! Can't wait for the big day guys!

{witkin | family portrait | valencia}

I am so excited to share the Witkin family portrait session with you! They are one of the sweetest families I have had the pleasure of working with. The last time I photographed them was for Matt's Bar Mitzvah, two years ago and the boys have grown so much. Matt in particular, I didn't even recognize him, lol. Amazing how they all grow up so fast! And, they added a new addition to the family, the puppy. He was so adorable, just the pup I want! I love the location, one of my favorites, a little open field with some rustic elements is just perfect. So many options. Unfortunately, for all of us it was 104 degrees in Valencia that day! ekkkkk! Needless to say we were all sweaty and hot, but the Witkins were all big troopers (another reason I love them). They beat the heat and we had an amazing session. Well most of them, the newest addition to the family decided he was having nothing to do with it and refused to stand anywhere but the shade. Smart pup! Besides the almost unbearable heat we had a fantastic time and got some amazing images of the charming Witkin family! I love their energy and family dynamic and I have to say the joyful running image is one of my favorites and is what this family is all about. Can't wait to see you all for Brandon's Bar Mitzvah.
