Event Photography: SBFA Banquet

Here are a few photos from the SBFA Winter Formal banquet, their theme was "Vintage Hollywood". We had such a blast this fun night!

Senior Portraits: Hannah

We did Hannah's portraits at the beach and one of my most favorite places, down town Culver City. A few years ago they started working on the area and now it is full of cute little shops, restaurants and portrait opportunities.

If Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum were two cute, smart & hilarious young women, they would be Hannah and Laura. Hannah asked that Laura come along to get some photos of her and her BFF. I'm now convinced that every portrait session should have a BFF included, so much fun!

Finnell Family Portraits

Tracy asked to do her photos with her family at the beach because she wanted to get out of the studio & do some more fun portraits. Family portraits should not only be a time where you get to capture your loved ones together in the same place at the same time (this seems to get harder as your kids get older!) but can be an opportunity to spend some quality time together! Bring a picnic, plan to enjoy the day. Cherish every moment with family :)

Here are a few of my favorites:

Cornett Family Portraits

I knew going into it, that doing the Cornett's family portrait session was going to be not only fun, but also a great learning experience! How could it be anything but when you have 6 kids and two infants! Here are a few of our favorites from their session in December.









Important things to consider when booking your portrait session with little ones:
- Book your session around your children's schedule; when are they most alert, the most charming?
- If you want those adorable newborn basket shots, it's best to book your session for the first two weeks after they are born. If you book with your deposit, we will be flexible because we know some babies like to keep mom and dad guessing on their exact arrival!
- If you have a large group, get those group shots right in the beginning, when the kids are most smiley and aren't completely fed up the strangers who keep asking them to "Smile!" :D
- If you have an newborn, we expect the session to take awhile. Patience is key to capturing those beautiful baby photographs.
- Bring bribery items, it's ok just this once ;)

Ben & Desiree: E Session

Ben & Desiree asked to do their session at the beach, so we headed down to the classic Santa Monica Pier. They brought along Benjo for some additional cuteness & he delivered. We got kicked out of a few spots, thanks for being good sports guys! :) Here are a few shots from their session:









He wasn't too sure about his passenger...
