Kristen + Seth: DTLA Couple Session

A WORK/LIFE BALANCE RELATIONSHIP

Do you ever feel like you have no days off? I mean honestly that's me every dang day. As a business owner and a freelancer, I work for myself, so I make my own hours, but honestly a lot of the time it feels like I'm ALWAYS working! Kristen and Seth 100% understand the struggle of work/life balance. We took the day to focus on them and what their day to day looks like. While they both are constantly traveling, working, emailing, etc - they often get to do it together, which is awesome! That's exactly what you want in a relationship. They do definitely spend a lot of time apart as well, but they make it work and do their best to maintain a work/life balance. We spent most of the day wandering around DTLA, specifically the arts district, but we also made it back to West Hollywood for some good shots! Enjoy!

The Holmes: Dana Point Family Session

A DANA POINT FAMILY SESSION

I got to photograph one of my favorite families, the Holmes! It takes a lot to get this many people together and all in sync, but they did it and nailed their outfits! The thing they learned is to pick a color scheme, which allows everyone to wear the same color, but also mix and match patterns and shades. Enjoy some of our favorites!

Donal + Sofie: Eaton Canyon Maternity Session

A PASADENA MATERNITY HIKE

First things first - do you see Max back there?! Isn't he the sweetest?! He was so fun to have on the shoot because he was so well behaved, sweet and fun! I was beyond stoked when Donal reached out to me after our mutual friend Darren Kennedy sent him my way. Sofie was a killer mama babe! She was hiking, climbing on rocks and telling us to follow her along the craziest paths AND she still looks FLAWLESS after all of that! I absolutely loved spending the evening with these two - such a dream!

The Greenbergs: Los Angeles Family Session

A BACKYARD FAMILY SESSION

Absolutely LOVED this backyard family session with The Greenbergs. We met in the middle of the day for a quick session and the light was GORGEOUS! Grandad was there, too to join in and of course we had include their fur baby. I love sessions like this because they're already in their comfort zone and can just hang out. I let the boys play a little and have fun, but also snapped some posed photos.

Ian + Marta: Old Towne Orange Engagement Session

AN ORANGE CIRCLE LOVE STORY

Ian and Marta are one of the sweetest and funniest couples I've met. They had a couple drinks before we met up, which was definitely to our benefit because they were comfortable. I gave them scenarios to act out and taught them all about the "drunk walk" pictured above. They have such a strong connection and they honestly didn't need much direction because they were so in love. We wandered around Old Towne Orange for a bit on a busy weekend day, which of course was crowded, but the photos turned out awesome and I loved hanging with them.
