Los Angeles Children, Tweens & Teens Photographer

Working with a good hair and makeup artist can really take your pictures to the next level. Even if you are going for a natural look, hiring a HMUA (hair and makeup artist) is worth the investment. For headshots or portraits the HMUA stays for the duration of the session and is there to make sure you look flawless.

Los Angeles Child Photographer | Conceptual Fine Art Photographer

It's been a busy spring and I keep forgetting to post this portrait of adorable Adele. We had a fun photo session capturing her natural giggle as she read one of her favorite children's books. Originally I had an idea of her sitting on a high wall with blue sky and clouds in the background. I photographed her sitting on a bench in my studio and later I searched for the perfect wall but I just couldn't find one that I liked. Finally a few weeks later while traveling in England I found the spot where Adele could be placed and the lighting was perfect. Viola! The two images worked perfectly together...the magic of photography.

Los Angeles Children's Photographer | Flight of the Butterflies

This was such a fun “Tales of Whimsy & Wonder” portrait session. A few of my model’s favorite things are, horses, music and butterflies. I couldn't get the horse in the room, so I created this wonderful image with butterflies and her piano. Titled:  Flight of the Butterflies.
