Merry Christmas! Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas holiday with those you love. We are off to enjoy the morning with our annual Christmas Day bike ride on the beach followed by holiday dinner at my parent’s house. We had my in-laws over for Christmas Eve – still in a food coma from prime...

Holiday playlists
I am going to be catching up with blogging soon! ALMOST all holiday cards have been ordered and delivered…. well, except mine and other family members. Now if I could just decorate the house for Christmas! The kids are getting impatient with me, as the only sign of Christmas so far is boxes,...
My baby is 6!
Last week I had to collect some images from each year for Jason’s birthday walk at school. He has the most amazing teacher – they do this fun walk around the “sun” (a candle) to represent each year of life while holding a globe wearing a sombrero. During this time, Mrs. Benjamin talks about things...
One for now….
One quick image from a recent session. Blogging is taking a back seat for a week or two so I can keep up with posting galleries online and finishing up all these holiday cards! Check back for lots of posts after Thanksgiving! Remember to impress everyone at Thanksgiving with the yummy pumpkin bars from an...

Blake + Grant | Palos Verdes children’s photographer
Good thing we started with family photos – after two minutes, all the boys wanted to do was play, and not with each other! Boys will be boys. So off to the swings and slides we went, and smiles and laughter started again.
New cards… new shapes
Want something a little different, a little more stylish this holiday season? These new cards are die-cut into five fabulously fun shapes. Here is just one example of what can be done – as always, colors and fonts can be changed to your preference. You can even add a pre-punched hole to the circular ones...
Kayla + Garrett + Brayden | Manhattan Beach family photographer
These three were an active bunch, and kept me on my toes. They had a blast playing and running together – glad I am fast enough to keep up! Here are some early favorites from their session. I edited the black and white ones with a little chocolate tone per Mom’s request, and...
