Santana Family // Portraits

I had the chance of photographing the beautiful Santana family at the old L.A. Zoo in Griffith Park recently.  Despite the triple digit weather, this family managed to look great the entire time even after chasing around two hyper, adorable boys.  And can I mention again how cute these two boys are? Sandra and Jaime, you guys seriously make beautiful babies!

Rosa & Phil are Expecting! // Maternity

I've known Rosa for half my life, she is one of my best friends and when she asked me to shoot her pregnancy photos, I was honored. Phil is cool too, he's growing on me :)
It always surprises me how fast time flies and this is a reminder of one of them. One minute we're getting ready for graduation and having babies the next. Rosa and Phil, and I'm so happy to be a part of your lives and I can't wait for your little one to get here. Congratulations!

Kris Kjornes // Headshots

I recently had the opportunity of taking Kris's headshots. It was quite an adventure location scouting and finding just the right light but I think we did okay. 

 

Melanie & Anthony // Engagement

I was so excited to have the opportunity to have a photo shoot at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for the first time. Melanie and Anthony made their engagement session extra fun and special when they decided to include their son, Anthony Jr. They make such a cute family!

                        

Amber & Erick // Engagement

When Amber asked me if I would like to shoot her engagement session, I was really excited because she wanted to do the session at the beach. I never really shot a session at the Santa Monica Pier but I knew that would be the perfect place for them. You might recognize this couple from a previous family portrait session, I love referrals :D

Morales // Family Portraits

This weekend I had the joy of shooting an awesome family. Okay, so I might be a little biased seeing as how one of them is my best friend. Heidy wanted something special for her mother's birthday and what mother doesn't want a portrait of her kids? We took the afternoon and shot around Johnny Carson Park in Burbank where I found some pretty awesome spots and came out with what I hope is the best present yet.
