My Mission (Blog Intro) | New Posts are Below

March 3, 2010

From the moment we cradle our children in our arms for the first time, we take photographs of them. When they are first born, their itsy bitsy noses, tiny toes, and curled lips fascinate us. It’s almost instinctual to try to preserve the moments of their childhood through pictures. In what seems like a blink of an eye, these little newborns become chubby babies, then running toddlers, and then go off to school. Those photographs become some of the most treasured items that your children will take with them throughout their lives, creating a value to them that is priceless. The snapshots that your family take will be so important for preserving your legacy and your memories. And then there are the images of your family that you DREAM of, that you may not be able to get on your own. What are those? That is what I am driven to capture for you! It brings me immense joy to be able to take the professional talent and skills I’ve been honing for many years, and apply them to helping families preserve these special moments in ways that they often have trouble doing themselves.

Thank you for reading this. It feels so good to have put that all down on paper, as it feels VERY authentic to me.

Many Moons | And a Little Sweet Pea (Santa Monica Newborn Photographer)

February 29, 2012

I realized that it’s been many moons since my last post. I have so many amazing images over the past few months that I’ve been wanting to share with you guys, but somehow I’ve managed to ignore my blog. My apologies. I plan to post some of the images in the coming days/weeks. Also, be on the lookout the next few days, as I’m going to be sharing about a great event I photographed yesterday in Los Angeles called the Big City Moms — Biggest Baby Shower Ever. There were celebrities like Jessica Alba, Ali Landry and others. It was so much fun! For today, though, I’d like to leave with an image of “a sweet little pea”.

Baby B at 3 months | Manhattan Beach Baby Photographer

I’ve been meaning to blog this session for a while. This little guy grew so much between his newborn and 3 month session. His family is so beautiful and sweet. And look at his beautiful big sister! She did such a good job cuddling her brother on cue for the photos!

Beautiful Little Girl | Los Angeles Child Photographer

July 12, 2011

This little girl was accompanied by her sweet mother and grandmother. Isn’t Baby V adorable in her pink sweater and summery dress? This day, V was somewhat serious, but we managed to coax out several wonderful smiles as well. I love being able to get both serious, soulful images and fun, lighthearted portraits in each session.

Meet Baby R | Santa Monica Newborn Photographer

June 30, 2011

I was looking through my files and remembered that I wanted to blog about this session. Meet Baby R. His mom and dad are just the sweetest. They were so relaxed during the session–which made my job a breeze. And just from the few hours I spent with this family I could feel their love and how much this little boy means to them.

Beautiful Baby Girl | Los Angeles Newborn Portrait Photographer

May 8, 2011

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing mothers out there. It’s the hardest job out there, but the most rewarding–really!

This beautiful little girl’s grandfather has been taking care of our children’s health since they were born, so this family has a special place in my heart. It was an honor to photograph her. Does she not have the most beautiful hair? Her parents and brother are such lovely, relaxed and sweet people. So without further ado, meet Baby E.

Welcome, Little One | Los Angeles Baby Photographer

March 10, 2011

Meet Baby L. This little was such a good little guy. He was one of the longest newborns I think I’ve photographed. It’s so strange referring to someone’s length instead of how tall they are, but I guess it makes sense since they can’t stand yet at this age. It will be interesting to see how tall he gets when he’s older.

ashley: Beautiful session, Laura. Love the first one especially.

kel ward: Look at that smile! And that b&w is gorgeous!

Meet Baby B | Los Angeles Newborn Photographer

February 14, 2011

I had such a fun time photographing this little guy, and meeting his parents. His parents were so relaxed and fun, that you would never guess that this was only their second child. With all of the beautiful teals, blues and textures, I was in heaven finding places to photograph him. And did you notice how adorable his sister is as well? I’m sure they are enjoying their new little bundle of joy and his sister on this Valentine’s Day. I can’t wait to see their images on their walls.

Anticipation | Pregnancy & Newborn Photographer Los Angeles

February 9, 2011

Meet T. I had the pleasure of photographing her as she anticipates the birth of her baby. She was just a joy to photograph. I also got to photograph her husband and her other baby–her dog. Their dog was so funny during our session. Let’s just say that I think he might have a future in “posing” in front of the camera. I’m looking forward to photographing her little one after his arrival.

Brand New Beauty | Los Angeles Newborn Photographer

January 20, 2011

Meet Baby B. Isn’t she beautiful? And look at her soft, beautiful full head of hair! This little girl’s family is also just so beautiful and so sweet. It was such a pleasure spending time with them to capture this amazing time in their lives. By the way, one of my favorite things to see is when families display their images in their home. This family has such a colorful display of images that they see everyday as they walk around their house. It really warms my heart to know how valued family portraits are.
