The Fratantuno Family

December 12, 2009 – 2:14 am

This fabulous family is so much fun – I met them at my daughter’s preschool, Happyland, almost two years ago and I just love hanging around them (in a non-stalkerish way, of course). Last weekend, we headed out to a local park here in LA and, as you can see, really just laughed and smiled the whole time. The weather was perfect photographer’s weather: all clouds without a trace of sun – ahhhh – just love it. Thank you Jodie and Mike for such a fun session – I hope you love your images as much as I do!

The Viola/Morales Family

December 5, 2009 – 12:18 am

This fabulous family came to me last year through Peachhead and I’m so thrilled to be able to photograph them again this year as well! The newest edition to the family is baby M. – one of the cutest smiles I’ve seen in quite some time. And sweet pea L. is growing up so fast – it’s really fun to watch her grow. We went to a local park and were able to create some amazing images of the family – thank you all for such a great session!

The Hersh Family

December 4, 2009 – 2:44 pm

Another fantastic Arizona family with the cutest little girl ever. We walked around Phoenix’s Desert Botanical Garden where their daughter, S. ran around and had so much fun. Three is a tough age all around (yes, my 5 year old was once 3) but we managed to get some great shots of her as well as with her mom and dad. Thank you so much Jen and Jason – I had such a great time with you!

The Monroe Family

December 3, 2009 – 11:38 pm

I just love coming back to Phoenix each November to photograph my favorite clients, which of course includes Jada and her sweet son, B. We headed up to the Desert Botanical Gardens, walking around having fun and looking at all the beautiful flowers and cacti that Arizona has to offer. B was all smiles the whole time and both Jada and I had a great time with him. I love watching him grow up and it’s so sweet to see he’s turned into such a big boy. Thanks Jada and B!

The Brodar Family

December 3, 2009 – 4:25 pm

I’ve known this wonderful family for quite a few years – I was at their wedding way back before I was even photographing weddings. It’s been such a privilege to photograph their growing family and it was this time last year that baby L. was in Jen’s tummy. This is her debut for the annual Christmas card – welcome baby L! The girls’ dresses were just stunning and all three were so cute in them – thanks for such a great session!

The Specchierla Family

This awesome family won a gift certificate from Happyland Preschool in Culver City and we set out to capture some fabulous family photos at a park here in Los Angeles. Their girls were so fun to work with and each with their own personalities, they were just fantastic! The girls’ parents were really great as well – I loved talking to them about life, photography and everything under the sun. Thank you for such a fun session!!

This awesome family won a gift certificate from me at a Peachhead event earlier this spring. We took full advantage of the beautiful weather we starting having last week and went out to a local park for some fun shots of their beautiful daughter, T. We had so much fun wandering around the park and T. was such a great sport in having her picture taken a million times. Thank you for such a fun session!

Welcome to the world Baby H.

June 18, 2009 – 4:49 pm

I’ve been so fortunate to photograph for the wonderful Keller family for the last few years. Their twin daughters are just a few weeks older than my own and I just love seeing them each time I get back to Phoenix. The family has recently added a new member, a beautiful baby boy that is so cute and cuddly, I just want to squeeze him (in a good way)…

We had a such a great session with the girls and their baby brother – I’m really looking forward to watching him grow!

His awesome dad competed in the IronMan Competition last fall and I think the entire family is hoping this little guy will follow in daddy’s footsteps…

The Stephens Family

May 30, 2009 – 11:09 am

This was such a fabulous session for us – perfect weather and a beautiful park here in Los Angeles, with a willing 3 year old – it doesn’t get any better than that! I met Lei right around the time her daughter was born and honestly, I can’t even believe K. just turned 3! She is so much fun with a ton of energy and we still managed to capture some quiet moments while on our search for ants. Thank you Lei and Charlie for such a fun session!
