All Dressed Up

This young family wanted to get dressed up for their session, so I decided to take them to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. This spot is popular for engagement sessions, but I thought I'd try it out for a family session. The place definitely has its challenges with all the people coming and going and some tricky lighting conditions, but as always, this family was lots of fun to shoot. You might remember them from the boy's first birthday party last November. Thanks for viewing!

A Mother's Day Gift

It's been busy! I'll have lots of photos to post in the coming days...

I had lots of fun photographing these three siblings (twin boys and their younger sister). A while back, I was contacted by their aunt (whom I've known since she was barely older than these kids!). She wanted to set up a session for her nephews and niece as a Mother's Day gift to her sister-in-law. What a great idea! We all had a blast at the Pasadena City Hall. It often takes a village to photograph kids. The kids' mom, aunt, and mom's friend were all there to help entertain, and they did a great job! And a huge thanks to Linda Tamarpirat for assisting again! She did a wonderful job chasing the kids around and providing awesome light!

Preschool Portraits - That Time of the Year Again

Wow, it's been a while! So much is going on these days, but I just wanted to give you an update...

For the past five years, I've had the fun (and very exhausting) assignment of taking class portraits for a local preschool. I can't tell you how tiring it is to get 60 three and four year old kids to relax, sit still, and smile naturally. And who can blame these kids? I'd imagine it's pretty intimidating for a preschooler to have a complete stranger take his/her picture! I have to pull out all the stops every year. For some kids, it takes a lot to bring out a smile, but in the end, it's well worth it and so rewarding. Here's a small sampling of all the adorable preschoolers! Thanks for viewing.

I had a wonderful time covering Sally & Steve's wedding at the Pacific Palms Resort in The City of Industry. A huge thanks to Steven Nguyen who partnered with me for this special occasion! What a talented and dedicated photographer. I can't thank him enough! Sally & Steve, along with their families, were so great to work with!
