Justin and Ari

It’s been three years since I last saw Justin and Ari.  Ari was just a little baby. (You can check out their first portrait session here!)

From that first portrait session, back in summer of 2013, we designed a wall gallery that was made up of 4 16×20 gallery canvas.

But since then the family has moved and we have some amazing portraits from their last portrait session that was held in the studio.  Boy have these kiddos grown!!!!

After a slow summer spending lots of time with my own three rugrats, photographing this family was the jump start I needed to get back in the studio and to gear up for what is going to be a very busy fall season.  I am so thrilled with the options this family has to create more fine art,  that I created their own dedicated “Lookbook” section of the website.  The portrait below is just a little teaser.  Wanna see more?

Family

Familly:  it’s what life is all about.

I’m crushing hard on this family portrait.  6 beautiful kiddos.  5 boys and one tiny princess Charlotte.  It’s giving me all the feels.

The Feels:  it’s what photography is all about.

Brothers

I am loving the weather right now.  It’s a great excuse to get out of the studio and start shooting outside again.  One of my favorite spots is always the rooftop garage.  Get out there at just the right point in the sunset and the colors are amazing.  The rooftop of the garage allows kids to run and skateboard and play and just be themselves.  I love the ever changing landscape of Downtown Hollywood, but there’s something to be said for the open expanse of space and sky.

The Chalkboard Sessions are currently underway in the studio and they are blowing my mind.  More details on how you can get involved here.

Mother’s Day is a month away…Portraits are always a perfect gift.

See you soon,

More Chalkboard Sessions

The “Chalkboard Sessions” are more fun and more beautiful that I could’ve imagined.  A princess came to visit on Friday, so the castle was a collaboration between myself and the princess.  Mom, did assist a little.  The castle gave this princess an opportunity to be just that….a princess.  So whether it’s a castle, a beach, outer space, or just a collection of your kids’ own doodles and drawings this custom portrait session allows your kids/family to be themselves in a fun, collaborative, and creative experience that you’re family is treasure forever.  You can see more of this princess’s “Chalkboard Session” here.

A “Chalkboard Session” is an hour in the studio creating a personal and unique piece of mural art that is then the backdrop to your amazing and one of a kind family portraits.  The entire experience is documented and the portraits are truly breathtaking.  The session includes 1-8×10 original signed print.  $250  There is still limited availability.  Call the studio or email for more information.

I’m hosting a extra special Matilda Jane Clothing and Beautycounter Social this Sunday from 11-1.  This time it’s NOT at the studio, so if you’d like to attend shoot me an email and I’ll give you the deets.  More information can be found on the Facebook event page.

Ring a Round the Rosie

You’re never too old to play “Ring a Round the Rosie.”

The light was perfect to take this family to one of my favorite spots for custom family portrait sessions; the rooftop of the parking garage on the corner.

You can almost feel the love and the laughter.

See you soon,

Happy Birthday Leah

Happy First Birthday Miss Leah.  Leah’s first birthday portrait session was the third time she’s been to the studio this year.  Mom and Dad took advantage of the studio’s “Pick 3” portrait package.  Three sessions over 12 months.  I met her as a newborn, again at six months, and just recently to celebrate her first birthday.  The “Pick 3” is perfect for mommies to be or just anyone who wants to document an entire year.  For more information on the “Pick 3” portrait package, please contact the studio.
