Rust, all shades of brown and burgundy are all having a moment right now!
I’ve always loved earth tones and they look so great with dark denim. And the whole combo looks stunning in dark, textured foliage.
Oh man, I could do shoots like this forever! Pink sunsets with a warm breeze are the best. The beach was pretty empty and we were able to run and around and just have fun!
When you’re taking photos at a rustic location, dark neutrals are such a good choice.
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.

I’m just weeks away from starting my first holiday mini-session! This year, I’ll be in Long Beach, Los Angeles County and Orange County. There are so many great locations. To see them all, you can click on the menu above to see the calendar.
Every fall I do countless Orange County mini-sessions. We’re just days away from September, so I thought I’d highlight a few of my favorite locations!
I’ve already put out the fall calendar. (You can click on the menu above to visit.) The dates are filling up like crazy!
Did you know it’s only 22 more days until Spring? Maybe I’m a little excited for flowers and warm weather, although in California, we can’t complain much!
I’m going to be bringing this backdrop to Rascals to Rebels on March 21 and 22 for mini-sessions. Here’s the details!
- Spend a minimum of $50 in the store (or call and purchase a gift card) to receive a complimentary 15 minute photo session.
- Sign up for a time slot on March 21 or 22.
- You’ll proof the photos on March 23. You can purchase digital images or prints from your gallery. (photos will be delivered before Easter)
(This event is for kids age 12 and under.)
It’s as easy as that! I styled a more casual look for these sample photos, but feel free to dress the kids in their Easter best from the store.
Orange County Spring Mini-Sessions at Rascals to Rebels
I’ve always wanted to do mini-sessions with kids and their pets. And what a better time than Valentine’s Day! I know some will ask, so I’ll start off by answering the question…can you book this mini-session if you don’t have a pet? YES. But, it’s a great excuse to get some photos with your pet!
Here’s the details:
January 24 (HB Central Park) 2:30-4:00pm
January 25 (Long Beach Studio location) 11:00am-12:00pm
January 25 (Palos Verdes Area) 2:30-4:00pm
Sessions will be 30 minutes long and include all your digital images (cost: $300 just the kids, $400 include the parents)
Did you want to through in a few Valentine props? Sure, just let me know and I’ll bring some along.
When I was pregnant with our oldest, Jake, I planned his nursery, his outfits and every little baby accessory. All that planning and anticipation is what it feels like as I approach the holiday season being a family photographer! Months ahead of time, I’m scouting and planning. Looking up sunrise and sunset times. Trying to guess what you all will like the best. I bring back favorites from years’ past and come up with new and exciting stuff too. I want you to look forward to sending out your family’s cards this year!
I’m starting with the month of September. Around the middle of the month, I’ll put out the dates/locations for October and in mid-October I’ll announce the dates/locations for November. As December approaches, it gets crazy busy. So, as an incentive to book early, the price is the cheapest in September (just like last year). Woo hoo!
The session fee of $100 holds your slot. Check out the pricing on the left under the Details + Pricing button.
Here’s what I’ve got!
September 13th 9:30, 9:50, 10:10 and 10:30am
I love this graffiti wall in Santa Monica. A favorite client introduced me to this hidden gem and I love the poppy colors. There’s a variety of walls, so don’t worry…you won’t all have the exact same background.
September 14th 5:20, 5:40, 6:00 and 6:20pm
This location is tucked away at a park in Long Beach. It’s a beautiful rural area that has big trees and gorgeous sunset lighting. If you want to incorporate your dog, this would be the perfect spot.
September 30th 4:50, 5:10, 5:30 and 5:50pm
A new favorite spot in Laguna Beach has me thinking about Hawaii! It’s so lush and green with big succulent plants.
