My studio in Long Beach is the perfect place for light airy and modern portraits. That’s not to say it’s a place where kids behave perfectly and sit posed for hours. Never!
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!
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?!?
Photographing babies is always special, but photographing the baby of someone you know is the icing on the cake. And, when that baby is over-the-top cute and so cooperative you have to keep checking that she’s a real baby, you just pinch yourself!
Here’s Baby Kendall and all the hats, baskets and blankets she modeled for me!
One of my recent photo sessions was triplet head shots for their agency, Zuri Model and Talent.
Here are the boys…
When identical boys like this are booked, the agency will want them to look as similar as possible in the photos. They will typically get cast for one role, so they want to be able to double for each other!
Cuteness runs in this family, because the boys’ sister is a stunner and she’s also modeling with Zuri!

Oh how I love to see first time parents. These tiny little bundles change them. Life will never be the same and you never knew you could love someone so much!

As you can see, the times are in the evening, because there’s just nothing better than sunset lighting in a field of long grass and wildflowers! This could be a great Mother’s Day gift or think ahead for Father’s Day!
Hey y’all! With Easter coming up this Sunday, I wanted to share the mini photo sessions that happened a few weeks ago at Rascals to Rebels. If you haven’t been to this children’s boutique (in Rossmoor) yet, you need to go check it out! They have a great selection of clothes and toys…plus their staff is some of the nicest people you’ll meet!
On to the photos! Check out all these cuties…
Do you recognize these twins on the right below? They play the baby Christine Angela Booth on the show, Bones. They’re adorable!
