DIY shoot with The Effortless Chic

I had the pleasure of photographing a DIY tutorial with Jen Pinkston and Blair Romer of The Effortless Chic and Lindsey of The Young Girls Supper Club. Those gals are so much fun and super talented at making everything look, well, effortless. :)

Family Session: Skirball Center with the Sarkisian Family

I grew up with Will in a small town in Northern California. We became fast friends and it just so happened that we ended up living in Santa Barbara for college and then making our way to Southern California to live and now raise our families. One day, Will called to let me know that he and Liana were expecting their first baby. To both our surprise, Liana and I had the same due date.

It has been so much fun capturing them as a family from their engagement photos, to baby William's newborn portraits and multiple family sessions. I'm honored and thankful to capture this family's special milestones.

Georgia's first Christmas.

Well, we made it thru the madness that is Christmas, but this year it was extra special as it was Georgia's first. We visited with a lot of family across California.

I took a little time before all of the travels to capture Georgia in the Christmas spirit. ;)

Cheers!

Malibu Maternity Session :: Juvenia & Jason

Inspired by the sea, we decided that Malibu would be the perfect place to photograph Juvenia's maternity pics, especially since they moved up to Oregon the following week! It was a perfectly warm day for an adorable couple. I also photographed Juvenia and her baby bump in a pool for some really fun images. Thanks Juvenia for being such a great model!! I had a ton of fun. Congrats Juvenia and Jason. Can't wait to meet your sweet baby boy. xo

Portrait Special...

It's that time of the year to get the fam together for a portrait session. Call or email to book your session today.

Georgia :: 6 months

Here's my little love posing for her 6 month photoshoot. Sitting up like a champ.

I even think she's the most adorable baby when she's having a meltdown. ;)

Kim + Greg Married at SLS Hotel

Just as I was about to post yet another cute post about Georgia, I realized that I have not posted about some recent weddings I have shot this year. 8 weeks after having Georgia, I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Kim and Greg at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. They are such a sweet couple with a wonderful family. A beautiful ceremony, lots of dancing and a sparkler exit. Couldn't have asked for a more fun day.
Enjoy!
