last weekend i photographed a large extended family on the beach in malibu. there were three generations and everyone was so nice and fun and willing to climb on rocks to get a good shot. everyone had a good time and the images speak for themselves!

last weekend i met the nicest family at the santa monica pier where i photographed them. they live on the east coast and one of the daughters needed senior portraits and the mom wanted family portraits, as well. the girls had a lot of fun cavorting under the pier. a wave came up and surprised them and they had a blast with it!!

about a week ago i met a charming young man, all of 6 years old, who needed headshots for commercials. what a delight he was! we met at a park and he and his twin sister played while i shot. it was a fun morning and we got lots of good images for his portfolio!!

one of the joys of photographing my twin 19 month old nieces is meeting and photographing their friends. nathan is an adorable little boy with a decidedly impish grin. he’s plainly adorable. and his mom is a beauty!!

every year i donate family shoots for various silent auctions around the southland. it’s always a pleasure to photograph the families that end up with the gift certificate i donated. this spring i met and photographed one such family in orange county.
