Leah and Matisse

May 28, 2009

Last week I took some portraits of my friend Leah who’s also a photographer. She wanted some updated portraits for her website so we went on a hiking trail with her dog Matisse to grab some shots. Check out what a cutie pie Matisse is. And be sure to check out some of Leah’s work as well.

Here are a few favorites from the day.

The Gonzalez Family

May 28, 2009

I recently had the opportunity to photograph the Gonzalez Family. And as you can see they have quite a few family members. Grandma and Grandpa had eight children who almost all have children of their own now. What a delight to see such a large family that’s so close. I truly enjoyed spending the day with all of them… they even made me miss my family a bit. My favorite pic below is the one of Grandma with all of her grandchildren. Check it out!

Sweet Sweet Rylie

May 26, 2009

I got to photograph Miss Rylie again this weekend which is always a pleasure. She had the cutest little white dress on and was so happy and playful… nothing at all unusual for her. We decided to go over to the park to grab some fun shots in the sun. Rylie was having a blast laughing and smiling. And every now and then when a breeze would blow in, she would make the most adorable silly squinty face. She was really cracking me and her parent’s up. This girl has got some personality!

Check out a few favorites from the day.

The Daly Family

May 20, 2009

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph the Daly family again. Beatrice is growing so much and developing such a fun personality. She loves to play and she LOVES to swim. This little one has no fear. She’ll jump into the water and come up with the biggest smile on her face. We just might have another Michael Phelps on our hands. And it’s great that she’s learning to swim at such an early age because she’ll be able to teach her little brother once he arrives in August. I know she’ll be such a sweet big sister.

Check out a few favorites from the day.

Maggie

May 1, 2009

Last weekend I did a test shoot with Maggie. She wants to break into modeling and needed some shots, so my friend Joseph and I collaborated and put together a photoshoot. Joseph did all the hair and makeup. Isn’t he amazing! If you want to hire him for some of his brilliance you can find him at the Londoner in Manhatten Beach. And many thanks to our awesome model Maggie… you rock!

Check out a few favorites from the day.
