Turning Three is Hard Work!

My dear friend Elizabeth put on the cutest party for her adorable son Quinn who was turning three. Sometimes my very favorite pictures from kids birthdays (or any photo sessions) are not always the smiley ones – I like the mix of introspective, intense feelings that young kids don’t yet edit away – the intense [...]

Almost 5 and wearing 4

Realized it’s been forever and a day since I’ve posted and even taken pics of my little guy – he’s almost 5 and went to town with posing. He’s recently taken up Tai Kwon Do and Karate. The unfailing confidence of an almost 5 year old is kind of inspiring – A proclaimed that he [...]

Comicon 2010 Frenetic Strange and Commercial all at once

Went to San Diego for Comic Con w/almost 4 year old Archer in tow catching photos in between managing a wriggling little boy. We were there for Ben’s appearance at a panel discussing his book The Best American Comics Criticism. Comic con broken down is “just” a commercial platform for comics – big movies – [...]

San Diego – Gorgeous – Sunny – So Cal

Went for a visit down to San Diego the other weekend to hang out with my sister. San Diego is really just a relatively quick drive down the 5. Only took the camera out once for a quick portrait session with my nephew and my son. I “should” have brought my camera to Point Loma [...]

Archer is three and a half and this age is the perfect magical age where wonder is not yet smashed down by the hard realities of reason.

Holiday photos in Santa Monica – the Robinsons

Took pics of Archer’s cousins and family for thanksgiving. Archer was being SUCH a wild child – was running around like a maniac when I was trying to get him in the family portraits….sometimes being chased by mamarazzi is just too much for the little guy. But his cousins were great little models. I decided [...]

Kid’s Portraits – Pulling the Drama out of Natural Light

I photographed super cute and energetic Jude’s, Batman themed birthday this past weekend. Jude’s mom Virginia, really knocked herself out to make a great party that was fun for the kids and adults and a bumped up post processing seemed a very appropriate approach for the day. I love photos that look other worldly and [...]

A wow facility for La Cañada Presbyterian Church and photos of kids at play.

Took a bunch of photos for LCPC Parent Education Program. The facility is beautiful and the mommies and kids were having so much fun. When I was editing the photos Archer looked at them and said “can I go there?….now? Please?”. Me, I love it – taking photos of toddlers, it’s pretty much my very [...]
