I'm Back from Vacay!!!!

We had a great time on vacation, but I have to say the best thing about going on vacation is coming home! There's no place like it! We got home Saturday morning and had my first family session this evening.

Their House is a Rockin.....

My photo sessions are usually spent trying to get the attention of toddlers and reasoning with 5 year olds. So I can't even begin to tell you what a breath of fresh air it was to have an adult session. A breath of fresh air and a bit nerve wracking. These weren't two regular adults wanting photos together for family and friends, they are artists. He's a musician, songwriter, and producer for Sony Music who works with some of the biggest names in pop and rock and she's a fashion/costume designer who designs the costumes that many of these big names wear on tour. They both want pictures for their websites and PR kits. So I felt the pressure, but really it was an amazing experience, and I'm super proud of the results!

There's just something about the next two that have a "Alice in Wonderland" feel to them!

As far as the location goes, we were at the historic Young Mansion here in Hollywood. It's an amazing house that was built in the 20's by the founder of Hollywood Joseph Young. It has been completely restored back to it's original glory. And its FOR SALE!!!! Check out the website and take a tour inside.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!

Introducing little Baby E!!! He had a very overactive bladder, but we had a great time! Mom and I are great friends and neighbors, so it's just as much an opportunity for me to chit chat and hang with a friend as it is to have a photo session! Little E is her second son! Her oldest, who has made many appearances on the blog, is a favorite subject of mine! So without further ado......

After many attempts of trying to remove the paci, we just gave up! This baby is quite a sucker......or maybe it's mom and I who were! haha

So the new site is up and running. Things here are chugging along smoothly and I spent the morning with this gorgeous family!! Their last name sounds just like Ferrari but starts with an "H" and spelled a bit differently! I first met them photographing a school picnic a month ago, and then again at our local water park. In fact, you might recognize the little babe from a previous post!

A Family Affair...

I photographed this mom and kids back in February. This mom had such a great time she had to come back and bring her two sisters, two nephews, niece, and her parents! It was definitely a mini reunion.

If you were put in a room with a hundred women and were told to pick out the three sisters and their mom, you'd be able to complete the task in 30 seconds. They all looked very much alike and were all stunning!
