Studio sessions don’t have to be boring! I personally love shooting in my studio because there are no variables. I can always count on good light coming through the windows. There’s no wind to mess up hair and I don’t have to photoshop people out of the background!
Golden hour is not the only hour for photography! I schedule sessions at all times of day and each hour has it’s own positives and negatives.
Shooting in full sun can definitely be challenging, but there are a few little tips you can keep in mind to make your photos so much better!
I’m a big fan of muted neutral colors for photo sessions. This palette has just the right amount of color mixed with pattern and texture.

I’ll be opening my Long Beach studio on May 2 for a special discounted event. Come with your baby or come with your big kids.
It’s been a minute since I’ve offered spring mini-sessions. But, IT’S TIME! We’re so lucky to have an abundance of wildflowers and long grass. All that texture is so pretty for photos!
When you see photos that aren’t posed, you feel like you’re getting a ‘fly on the wall’ vantage point of the subjects life.
But, how do you achieve that as a photographer? How do you take naturally candid photos when they hired you to be there?
This was a favorite photo session of mine for a number of reasons.
First, the family was as sweet as could be. I mean, I didn’t even have to try and big brother was cooperative and wanting to cuddle the baby. The entire family was so loving to each other, which always makes my job easy as a photographer.
You’ve booked a session with your local photographer and you’ve narrowed it down to the beach. But, now what to wear for family photos at the beach?!?
So many of the dates for the mini-sessions this fall have already filled up! There’s one I want to highlight today because it has so many possibilities. Sergerstrom Center
A couple weeks ago, I met with Amanda in Long Beach for a mini-session. She had traveled from out of state and was excited to spend the week in Long Beach. Long Beach had special meaning to her, so of course it was the perfect place to photograph her daughter.
