I have a confession to make this year… ready for it? I didn’t take my annual family photos. For the first time in over 12 years, I skipped it. Every year, without fail, I’ve made it a priority. Whether we’re home or traveling, capturing these moments has been my tradition. I usually hire a photographer to document these precious memories that turn into holiday cards, keepsakes, and reminders of all that the year held. But this year, life had other plans.

It’s that time of year again! The air is cooler (well, for some of you), the holiday lights are going up, and the holiday card season is in full swing. But let’s be real, after a few years of doing the same ol’ thing, maybe you’re ready to step up your holiday card game. Luckily, 2024 is the year of creativity and personalization.

You want something that not only stands out in a pile of mail but also speaks to your unique style and vibe, right? I’ve got you covered! Let’s dive into some fresh, fun ways to add a personal touch to your cards this year.

Our 9 Key Poses For Families For our family photo shoots, we make sure to pull out all the tricks, pose suggestions and ideas. Here are our 9 go-to poses […]

1st Birthday Photos are some of my most favorite to capture. It’s not only a time to document baby, but also the parents! It’s their first anniversary of taking care of a little human! I love when the parents want to be involved in these 1st birthday shoots. At 1 years old, we definitely have to just roll with it during our sessions, these little ones have thoughts and opinions of their own!

In the delightful world of family photography, 2024 brings a palette of fresh, vibrant hues to play with, perfectly suited for your family photo outfits. Embrace the 2024 color trends – think silver metallics that catch the light just right, the warm embrace of reds, oranges and soft yellows, and the serene elegance of pale blue.

As a photographer, there is nothing more rewarding than being part of your family’s journey by documenting through out annual family photo sessions. I’ve had the privilege of documenting some incredible families, from capturing weddings to celebrating firstborns and watching those little ones grow year after year. It’s a joy to see your kids transform right before my lens and to be able to preserve those moments for you.

It’s that time where everyone starts scouring to figure out what is THE best place for their family photos (which typically turn into your annual holiday cards). Let me save you the headache. This is it, the best of the best mini session locations in Southern California – Los Angeles, the Valley, Orange County and South Bay. Whether you want to change it up and do photos at the beach this year, or you want a modern, industrial feel.

The holidays are going to be right around the corner, can you believe it?! The fact that school bells are ringing and fall is only a few weeks away, holidays will be here before we know it! That means it’s time for mini session holiday portraits! This may even seem early, but trust me, it’s the perfect time to get your mini session booked!

There’s been a new trend lately for my high school senior portrait sessions, those lifestyle shots where it’s more than just the posed yearbook look. The ones that show personality, fun, and who your senior is as they transition into adulthood.

BUT as an added twist, the new trend is that they’ve been adding on family portrait sessions, and I am loving is so much that I created a special package for it!

It was such an honor to capture this social butterfly Scarlett’s 1st birthday photos, along with her beloved puppy dog, Rocket. They truly have the most special bond and this shoot was the perfect way to document not only her first birthday, but these incredible family memories to look back on.

While my speciality may be capturing those perfect branding pictures, take it from those on the other side of the lens (my clients!!!) on how to treat yourself this Self-Love Month!

As I sign off for the year and welcome a much needed rest, I wanted to wish you a happy holiday and thank you for a wonderful year! Here’s a little recap of our year – I am so thankful for each one of you!
