In case you need a fabulous super cute little place to fulfill your sweet tooth, look no further!! Melissa Joan Hart has opened up a dessert shop in Sherman Oaks right on Ventura (and Woodman). It is so stinking adorable! It’s adorned with purple walls and purple flooring, chandeliers, bright green chairs, and candy filled tables. Oh, did I mention that there is also a ton of ultra sinful sweets there? Frozen yogurt? Check!! (Pistachio is my fav!!), Red velvet cupcakes? Check!!! Gelato? Check!! Rows and rows (and rows) of teeth decaying yummy goodness everywhere? Uh yep, there is that too!! Pretty much everything you could possibly want to indulge in is there (except maybe a bathtub full of chocolate fudge…I’m sure if I asked we could work something out). I was like a kid in a candy store (literally) when Mel asked me to shoot some pics for the store website and promo stuff. And of course, you can’t have pics of a candy store without some pics of kids in a candy store!! So, wait no more…and enjoy!! And if you’re even thinking of stopping by…just do it. Your tongue will thank you even if your thighs don’t in the morning!!

Just finished up another slideshow from an awesome senior shoot. I love these shoots! Definitely much more fun, creative, and unique than just sitting on a stool in your cap ‘n gown. Thanks Amanda for such a great afternoon! I loved your personality and the fact that you would do just about anything to get an awesome shoot!! You rock!!

(remember to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the blog and turn off the blog music- otherwise you’ll have two soundtracks playing at once!!)

So it has been brought to my attention that yet again, I am having some e-mail issues. I am not receiving all of my inquires and some of them go quite a way back. I am in the process of having these kinks worked out and if you have e-mailed me and I have not responded, I am so so sorry!! Please call me on the 800# if you need to talk with me and would like to book a session. I normally return e-mails within 24 hours so if I have not responded yet, PLEASE call me. I swear I’m not ignoring you on purpose!! Thank you!

After a VERY long time trying to get the area ready, I have officially now begun doing studio sessions. They are a little less than the urban sessions that I do and they are on a smaller scale. So, the sessions are for up to 2 subjects only and last about 30-45 minutes. They’re great for those of you that want to do a shoot but aren’t quite ready to do the urban one yet. Perfect for in-between shoots when those little ones grow so fast. Check out my website for even more examples (in the portrait gallery section under “studio”).

Here is little Miss Ava striking a pose. She was so not happy to be getting her photo taken but I love this photo anyway!! I had this idea planned for months and based it all around this wicked hat that I found on ebay. Gotta love ebay!!

How cute is this little nugget? Meet baby Charlotte… the beautiful little girl of one of my wedding clients from last year. I came to their place to photograph them and loved this little ladies room. Decked out with all kinds of super cute girlie things. This girl already has a ton of shoes and would put Carrie Bradshaw to shame (especially since she can’t even wear them yet!!). Butterflies on the ceiling, princess books, chandeliers, and so on and so on. Awesome shoot and even though we were going for some of those sleeping baby shots, the little lady has a mind of her own and really had no intention of doing what I wanted. Hahah!! Can’t wait to see you again beautiful girl!!
