Sarah’s mom won the highest bid for a photo session with me at the Soleado Elementary School silent auction last fall – we have been trying to make this session happen for a while! Well worth the wait – Sarah was an absolute delight! She was so fun to photograph. So smart too… she speaks three languages!

A cloudy Manhattan Beach morning… swingtime!!! Jack was a fan.

Grant | Palos Verdes baby photographer

One of my favorite little guys… Isn’t he yummy? This little baby wants me want to have another one. He has gotten so big! I could post so many more favorites, but I keeping this short and sweet so I can keep catching up on all my sessions lately!

He was so tired, but I got one last smile before he settled down for a nap.

Kai + Zaia | Manhattan Beach baby photographer

So much fun! This was a surprise for Dad for Father’s Day – I felt like a stalker waiting for his car to pull out of the driveway so I could go in. Kai played the piano for me, ran around the yard, cuddled with Mom a bit, played with bubbles, and I got lots of great images. Baby Zaia was incredibly good – although she was really awake for most of it, she was good natured and happy. I seriously can’t even believe that she was born recently – her Mom looked absolutely amazing!

Where to start on this family? They are just amazing. Nastya and Kristina were recently adopted from the Ukraine, and this session took place 5 days after their arrival. They don’t speak much English yet, but their mom is home schooling them until they can start school in September. I never realized how much I talk when I photograph! I had to gesture a lot to make sure they understood what I was saying. To say that their adoption was a long process would be an understatement! They joined a big loving family here – new twin sisters and younger brother, plus two older brothers who couldn’t be there that day. We had a great time hanging out and playing. I was so honored to be able to capture images of this incredible week adding two new daughters to the family.

I wish I looked this cute at 11 and 12!!!

Gabriel wasn’t sure he wanted to share the attention with all the girls…

That’s OK – they didn’t want to sit with him anyway. I love that you can see Sara in the background after she ran away!

I adore these two images of the twins!

A favorite of Kristina and Sara!

I finally figured out that this one is of Isabel due to the difference in ponytail colors, thank goodness.

James (with a little Sydney + Maddie) | Manhattan Beach Children’s Photographer

James turned 1 recently – I can’t believe how fast this particular year has gone! His sisters joined him for a bit – we especially had fun going for a walk around the neighborhood and playing in Mom and Dad’s bed.

This is what greeted me at the front door.

Playing in bed with his sisters!

Sean + Kyle + Erin | Manhattan Beach children’s photographer

We had a lot of fun really early in Manhattan Beach at Metlox Center before the crowds rolled in on a Sunday morning. It was a little cold and foggy, but the kids were troopers for me. Erin didn’t sit still for more than 3 seconds, but the boys did a great job of keeping her happy for me.

Ben + Katherine + Will | Palos Verdes Estates family photographer

Are they cute or what? These guys are one of my favorite families – this was my second time photographing the twins, but my first time with little Will. We had a great time, and they were all so good, especially Katherine, who was recuperating from pink eye a few days before.

Loved meeting this family – can’t believe we haven’t met before around school etc., considering we realized we are friends with a lot of the same people. It was a pleasure – Mom is gorgeous, the boys were awesome, and Dad was a great sport.
