Lee Family. Holiday Session. Los Angeles Holiday Photographer.

There is something magical about capturing smiles in front of sparkly green and red anything. No matter if it’s smack in the middle of summer I can begin to imagine glowing Christmas lights and the smell of freshly baked sugar cookies. That’s why if you want me start day dreaming show me any old tree filled with red ornaments and BAM! I’m gone into thinking of sugar plums dancing in my head. I love ALL holidays, and this one is like I mentioned the most magical. The Lee family had me jumping for joy during their Holiday Session.

Lala and Jeff were high school sweethearts. Like most sugary sweet love stories, they got married, had an adorable boy and a few years later a darling girl. You guys are lucky to be blessed with two beautiful children that just happen to be a boy and girl-an awesome combo! I just want to squeeze your kiddies cheeks and spend the day being their very own paparazzi. Lee family, I had so much fun watching you guys just do what you do, which is acting completely cute all the time! Merry Christmas and have a super wonderful Happy New Year!These kids are scrumptious even when they are silly.Beautiful family!My favorite!We decided to stop for one of my most favorite things in the world. Ice cream! Side note: When I was little I think I went to the original Farrell’s, in the San Gabriel Valley, and I felt like I was Charlie, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because I was just in awe of all the sweet goodness, but I secretly wished I was Veruca Salt and had golden hair with a bad attitude. I’m just sayin’. After all of that whip cream we headed to nature.PINK!

Juliana. Year ONE. Los Angeles Baby Photographer.

What’s the most precious gift to receive on Christmas? Well, a baby of course! Duh, people! Duh! Lately my son thinks it’s hilarious when he says any name followed by duh (especially, Duh, Momma! Duh!). Last year on December 25th, Carolina and David were blessed with a beautiful and healthy baby girl. I was honored to help design and decorate Carolina’s woodland themed baby shower, as well as creating and photographing a photo booth for her that day. Now, almost three hundred and sixty-five days later, they are preparing to celebrate their daughter’s first birthday and their first Christmas at home instead of a hospital. Now, you can call Carolina one of Santa’s little helpers because this year she has time to  set up pretty gold accents and sweet smelling pine cones to celebrate her daughter’s first year and the magic of the season.

Carolina you have a beautiful family, and you are such a sweet mama. Juliana’s personality just shines through these photos. Your smiles and warmth oozed out of my lens, making it so much easier for me to share your love for one another. Just a little early, but Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas sweet pea!I just love everything thing about this!Hello. Cute family! Can you get any cuter?
I love daddy’s expressions here. So real and hilarious! These are the natural moments that I love capturing!
Carolina, I know you’ve always been pretty since high school, but seriously, you are a stunna here:)Again, her giggly personality is too freaking adorable!There she goes!Some one was being a girly girl that didn’t even want to get her hands dirty. It’s like she’s saying, “Come on people! I’m wearying silver polka dots and pink tights. You want me to dirty this outfit?”Still a little unsure.With mama and dada’s help, she made a small dent.

What a fun weekend I had with so many beautiful families. From the sweet to the funny, these are my favorites and they all made me smile. I wonder which ones will pop up in your mailbox as a holiday greeting card?

Liliana. Maternity. Los Angeles Maternity Photographer.

Pregnancy is a beautiful time in a woman’s life. It makes you feel more alive then you’ve ever felt. Liliana has felt more alive in her heart and spirit as she awaits the arrival of her new son. Little Javier Jr., is expected to make his debut on December 7th. This little guy will be an extra special birth for both Liliana and Javier the first. A few years ago, Liliana had lost her brother and the very next year she lost her father. The emptiness in her life will soon be refilled with the joy of having a family. Javier will get to share his new baby boy with his son, Javier Isaiah, and daughter Karina. Both kids are ready and looking forward to playing and kissing their new brother all up!

Liliana found a magical little spot up in the hills that has one of the most jaw dropping views of down town Los Angeles.

Congratulations to you and your family! I can’t wait to meet your little one.Liliana you are a beauty!
These two are my favorite. I just love the lighting. It totally adds to the warmth and happiness that this couple share!

Victor, Kimberly, Eric & Isa. Los Angeles Family Photographer.

You know when you get a new car, how you immediately begin to notice that almost everyone has the same car as you? Well, that’s how I see the make-up of families. When I was pregnant, all I noticed were the pregnant women around me. Then, after my son, I noticed every family that had a boy clinging onto a parent’s arm. Now that I know we are ready for another one, I drool over families of four… especially those with a little brother and sister pair (I’m probably going to end up with four boys…make it five, so I can have a basketball team… a big J.K.).

Once Kimberly contacted me about taking her  family of four photos, my heart started racing like I was on the verge of a mini-heart attack. I couldn’t wait to meet her son and daughter. I wanted to see how their sibling relationship worked.  I wasn’t disappointed. I loved every moment that I got to witness the big brother-little sister love. Then I was floored when these stinkin’ cute kids whipped out their favorite dress-up gear. Hello? What little kid doesn’t like to go out in their finest super-hero cape and princess outfits? And I loved how Kimberly and Victor were supportive of their kiddies dressing up. They wanted to showcase Eric and Isa’s interests at their cute little ages of five and two. I can’t wait to have another one, so I can do the same thing every year. Yes, I said it. Every Year. Ha!

Kimberly and Victor, your family was my obsession for the day. I might just have to borrow both kiddies one day to play with my little guy.
You know this one is my favorite!Ahhh, so incredibly cute!
The shadows are so pretty in this one.Brother and Sister.I’m just saying…I would frame it!Okay are you ready for some adorableness? Yup, when my son gets older I’m so letting him do this.I had to end on a picture out of a story book.

Christine & Van. San Gabriel Valley Wedding. Los Angeles Wedding Photographer.

Christine and Van are one of those couples that truly complete one another because of their opposite attractions. Of course they have a lot of similarities: they are both undeniably attractive, they have a mellow but hip style, they are so very kind, and of course they love one another to pieces. On their wedding day I also learned that they each show their heart-throbing love for one another vey differently. From early in the afternoon ’till late at night, Christine was very subtle in her touch and gentle in her kisses. Van on the other hand, is more of a public display of affection type of guy. He was ready to spin Christine into his arms, got a little grove going on during their first dance, and he definitely landed a passionate kiss on Christine after their vows. Now, that’s my kind of guy! With that kind of chemistry, I know their love is forever. Congratulations you two gorgeous love birds!

Also, a super big hug to Nea for second shooting with me. I loved your company and eye for detail! Here’s some more of their lovely day.

You are stunning!See…a little hot in here. He even had to look away, but it was a priceless moment!
Christine you are completely lovely!Dapper aren’t we?These two are my favorite individual photos of them.Their bridal crew rocked the poses!
Both Christine and Van rocked the dance floor in true dance/party crew fashion. (If you went to a private school in the ’90s you know what I’m talking about)
I love this.
