What is your Child’s story?

I am an avid reader.  I mean, I absolutely love books.  Each morning I start the day walking my dog and listening to a business book on audible.com.  Each night, before I go to sleep, I get lost in a good novel on my Kindle.  And really, I have been this way since I was a small child.  My favorite thing to do growing up with my Dad was go to Crown Book Store (remember than discount books store?).  I would go through the books for literally hours.  He would always give me a limit, like, you can buy three books and that is it.  Somehow, I always talked him into five.  I would take those home and dive in.  My punishment if I didn’t finish a task, was to take my books away…..

One of my very favorite books when I was a child was “Where the Wild Things are”.  I probably read it at least 100 times.  So when Brittany asked me to do a styled session with her boys inspired by the book, I was all in.  I think these type of sessions are perfect for kids of any age, because it help tell their story and define who they were at that period in their history.  Also, looking back on those sessions, it helps your child know that you wanted to capture images that defined who they were in their development.  It opens up dialog and great memories.

So here is our Where the Wild Things Are” session with these two gorgeous boys and seriously the red hair kills me! Enjoy!

Laguna Beach Engagement Session

While everyone was busy yesterday with the Super Bowl, the sun shined briefly on on us as we shot a beautiful engagement session at the Montage in Laguna Beach. Halyna and Nabil glowed in front of the camera and it was so sweet to see how much they love each other. You can’t tell how cold it was from the beautiful portraits, but it was definitely a scarf kind of day. Since we don’t get many of those in Southern California, I love that these images are wintery and fresh. I am so excited for their upcoming celebration. It is going to be one fantastic day. Enjoy the sneak peak!
