I love to photograph me some twins. It’s an energy like no other. I can’t really put it into words. Good thing I’m a photographer and not a writer. So here they are…Saxon and Elaine. They just celebrated their 7th birthday. Grateful they celebrated with custom portraits at the studio.
Birthdays are always a great excuse for custom family portraits. Let’s chat.
See you soon,

Pandora…aka…Pandy spent a morning with me at the studio. We played a little dress up, busted out the bubbles and who knew it was so much fun knocking down block buildings.
Definite cuteness overload.
The studio is OPEN and the natural light is always perfect regardless of the weather.
Let’s Play!

The Custom Linen Album is the classic way to display and enjoy your portraits. A one of a kind heirloom to be passed down from generation to generation. Albums come in three sizes; 8×8, 10×10, and 12×12 and range from 20-50 custom designed pages.
In a world of bigger is better and yesterday preferred, it’s nice to just sit, relax and hold something tangible.
Inhale…exhale..turn the pages of an album, hold a photograph in your hands, and relieve that moment like it was yesterday.
The Power of the Printed Photograph.

These guys never disappoint. I’ve been photographing this family for six years and that energy level just keeps rising. You can almost “feel” the love. Nothing like a “hug” from an older brother to set you right.
Mom, Mara is one of the founders of All Before Dinner, a members only networking group that sees motherhood as an asset, focusing on business and personal development. If you are looking to expand your network with a group of amazing women then you should definitely check it out.
These adorable and fun portraits were taken in front of mural by @milagrosyall, just steps away from the studio in downtown Hollywood. I love the ever changing landscape of our downtown, perfect inspiration for one of a kind family portraits.
Weekend portrait appointments at the studio are available. Call me to schedule.

Happy Monday! Here’s a little sneak peak from a very fun family portrait session at The Goodtime Hotel. The Goodtime Hotel is chock full of so many fun nooks and crannies that make for fun backgrounds. That along with an incredibly stylish family makes for wonderful and unique portraits. If you’re looking for a goodtime……haha but seriously, portrait sessions with me are definitely a good time for all.
Fall starts tomorrow, and do I dare say the Holidays are right around the corner? Time to schedule your custom portrait session and get a head of the holiday game. Check “family portraits” off of your to-do list.
Call or email for more information.

Who doesn’t love a good book? Books have often been a subject during a portrait session. Lauren, creator of Happily Ever Elephants (a premier guide to children’s literature…btw) knew that incorporating favorite title’s into her family portraits was a MUST and the results are fun and whimsical. These unique details are what make your family YOU! Don’t be afraid to go outside the box when planning your family portraits. Even something as simple as a children’s book can have maximum impact.
What will you incorporate into your portraits?
Portrait sessions are available both in studio and on location. Reach out and schedule!

National Read A Book Day was this week, and a perfect time to share this fun collaboration with Happy Camper Live and Wimpy Kid book series. Wimpy Kid remains my children’s favorite to this day. 
Hi! After a long blog hiatus I’m happy to report that I am back in the studio. The last school year, 2020-2021, I found myself back in the classroom after 14 years, attempting to be a part of the solution to the teacher shortage issue at my kids’ school. I spent the year teaching my daughter’s third grade class and I finished out the year taking over my son’s eighth grade American History Class. It was a school year for the record books for sure. Grateful that we were able to spend the summer at Camp Starlight (that’s a whole blog post in itself).
We’re now two weeks into the new school year, camp now seems but a distant memory, and I’m excited to be back in the studio and focused on the upcoming busy fall season.
The first weekend I was back in town from camp I was lucky to photograph this family on Miami Beach. These are just a few of my faves.

ps-I’m in NYC the weekend of October 9 and taking a limited number of commissioned portrait sessions. Contact me for more information.
The school year has started and high school seniors are sending out college applications and trying to do all the normal high school “senior stuff” that they’re supposed to. One of the most important rites of passage…the Senior Portrait. We will not let Covid interfere with the Senior Portrait portion of the program. So let’s chat about it. Let’s collaborate on Senior Portraits that capture the true essence and personality of your Senior.
From now until November 15, make a $100 donation to Calder and Caleb’s Awesome Foundation and receive a complimentary mini session at the studio. Message me for more information.
Sunday is the start of November (OMG!) and the last full month to schedule a custom portrait session. Your session must take place before December 1 to guarantee holiday delivery. Custom portrait sessions at the natural light studio in downtown Hollywood are available on limited weekends through the end of 2020.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
