I was so happy that I got to shoot this great family again! I did a session for them about a year or so ago and I can’t believe how big the kids have gotten! I remember the ones I had done of Sam were some of my favorite shots of her playing around in her bedroom. We decided to head outdoors for this one and do more of an urban style shoot. Like usual, Sam & Luke were just perfect and I am loving some of these images too! In fact, I even recruited Sam to be a superhero for a clothing line I am working with. I’ll be posting some of those in the weeks to come!

Awesome downtown L.A. senior session of Kearsten from Canyon. Not only is this girl beautiful but she’s also an amazing swimmer! While working with her and hearing about her training schedule alone I was blown away at her dedication to her sport. Her mom, Gina, joined us on our adventure and is just the nicest lady. So sweet! We traveled around to some of my favorite locations and found a few new ones that I’ll for sure be going back to! Kearsten showed up for the shoot with tons of great clothes and accessories (no wonder she was voted “best dressed”) and was a natural in front of the camera. She prefers pictures of herself not smiling but I think she is stunning when she does smile too! Hope you love the photos K and thank you for a great shoot!!

These here are my Missouri peeps. We’ve been trying to go visit them every year and always have so much fun when we’re there. They knew of this great little woodsy park and thought I would like it for the pictures of the kids. We only had about 15 minutes but we did a few cute ones! Of course, I had to sneak one with my little monkies too!

Since I just did another session with this little guy, I thought I better hurry up and post the first one! I can’t believe how the time flies! They were a referral from Tough Cookies and when I showed up to their home I was in heaven!! Talk about a photographers dream! Beautiful light, unique art pieces, color!! Everything that I love!! I’ll be posting G’s next session just as soon as I’m a bit more caught up!
