It was great seeing this family again. I photographed baby Halo's newborn session in the comfort of her home. This time for her first birthday and cake smash session  parents chose a beautiful cactus garden in Beverly Hills, CA. 

Leo is a handsome boy with amazing big eyes. I did his newborn session and was so happy to see this boy again for his first birthday session. 

I absolutely love these moments of connection, love and  joy that I captured during this family session. 

I did Adria's newborn session and maternity session for her mom. Now, it was time for her First Birthday session. Her parents decided to do a family/first birthday combo session. 
Park is a good choice to have a family session because there’s plenty of room for kids to explore and play. It is not easy to force children to sit still, look at the camera, and smile. Genuine interactions are the memories we all treasure most.

It was so nice to do this Halloween mini session after so many newborn sessions in a row. I almost forgot how I enjoy photographing children. 
I always plan on taking a lot of photos of my child on Halloween before he goes out trick or treating, but I get so busy and usually fail! This mini session is a perfect chance to make sure to capture these memories before Halloween.

This session was planned in the different location this morning. When I arrived there, I found out that it was closed due to filming activities. "Of course, they had to close this park today. I visited this place a couple of times before the shoot and planned the entire session." I was talking to myself, wondering where else I could shoot at 10 am when the sun is so harsh. 
The new location was found, and after five minutes I was driving to meet my returning clients. I did a maternity session for baby Lucas' patents last April and his newborn session in May. Today, it was time for his six-month-old session. I was so happy to see and photograph them again.

This Fall Photo Session has been done as a Christmas gift for grandparents. On a fine day in October, all six cousins gathered together to be photographed.  Later, one of the pictures from this session has been printed, framed and wrapped. I think, this is a great Christmas gift idea!

Every single picture from this family session is my favorite. It was a joyful afternoon with a very creative mom, super adorable children and a very patient dad.

I took these photos last fall & you might recognize this beautiful family because I am the lucky one who has been able to photograph them for the last 4 years.
