I love this sweet little newborn….he was born into such a perfect family too.
Normally I’m a sucker for bare skinned newborn photos, but it was chilly the morning we took these and so he was all cozy in his little sweater outfit. I love the look of the soft sweater and his fuzzy crop of hair. Too cute!
Can’t wait to photograph him again and watch him grow!

They traveled all the way from the Bay Area for pictures. We had to reschedule because of the weather and then as luck would have it, Ella fell and got a fat lip running to the car. Such is life. Our best laid plans sometimes end up shattered on the floor. BUT, a good attitude can change things around…and they not only turned things around, they turned them amazing.
Brandon was as cute as can be and Ella was a total champ. She was so sweet with her brother and took direction so well. The last time I had seen her was when she was Brandon’s age! Such fun to see families year after year…
I’ve been meaning to blog the last few mini-sessions from February and they were just too cute not to share!
You might remember this little girl from last year. She showed up with her two little dogs…all in matching sweaters. 🙂 Now she has a baby sister!
And there’s also this cutie pie!
She came to see me at Rascals to Rebels awhile back with her adorable lilac glasses. Now she’s all grown up and doesn’t need her glasses anymore!
I’m so thankful for my clients and how I get to see them often and watch them grow!

Last summer I was asked to photograph the opening of the Anthropologie in Palm Desert. It’s quite amazing…a team of people work day and night to transform an open space into a finished store in a matter of days. The attention to detail is like none other. And this company knows how to sell! Even in a down economy, they are still opening new stores.
Everything is hand made or found. All hours of manual labor pay off when you see how the theme is woven throughout the store. Every vintage object is scouted out from local thrift stores and flea markets. Laura of Ascot Friday was one of the leads on this project.
Loving these hand-sewn tags. So many of the ideas can be adapted for at home use.
These blocks of wood create height in a table setting. I love the idea of using it for a buffet at a party. Every day items are escalated to chic with a bit of creativity.
Products are separated into the ‘rooms’ of the store.
This hand-made book shelf was so impressive. A million little details that were each so beautiful!
The plants seen in the store are all real…it’s so cool to see how living things are incorporated amongst the product.
Oh these little twig hangers are so cute! I think they’d look perfect in a nursery.
Loving the detail on these hanging lamps…copper and ticket stubs!
The team also made this bead from piping at lace. This definitely needs to be re-created in someone’s home!!
As you can see…love is in the details! If you have never been to an Anthropologie…hope you enjoyed this little peek into the Palm Desert Store! And sorry to kill you with a million pictures…I have hundreds and had a hard time narrowing it down!!

My kids are in elementary school and there’s a part of me that misses the toddler years! Lucky for me, my sweet friend Laura happens to have an adorable 2 year old that’s just about always up for a photo shoot!
I’m looooving his bowtie!
My son Cooper has this same gray cardigan from American Apparel. It’s such a great staple for kids…you can dress it up and down.
No matter what he wears…the perfect accessory is THAT SMILE!

I’ve been a photographer enough to know that every parent loves pictures of their child looking directly into the camera and smiling. And I’m among that crowd too…I want to see my kids looking happy. I want to see them smiling. And I want to see their eyes.
But, there’s more to a child than laughing and smiling. If you’re a parent, you most certainly agree. There’s a million expressions that you love equally as much…plus all the details…like their chubby fingers, curls at the nape of their neck and who doesn’t love a baby’s long eyelashes!?
I’ve been trying to capture a bit more than smiles in my photo sessions. I want to be an observer. I want to notice all the things you love about your child and document them in an artful way. So, Kai here is a perfect example of a happy, smiley little guy…
But he also has the cutest smirk!
And those eyelashes!
And just about every expression in between…
Happy Monday!
