Lovely and Expecting with Maddy and Nicholas {Manhattan Beach Maternity Photographer}

Oh how I adore capturing this family - it is TOO fun - they are crazy playful and just plain delightful all around - and I've been capturing them for ages (remember Nicholas when he was just crawling!?) so it is extra exciting that Nicholas and Maddy's mama is expecting again! Isn't she just the most radiant and glowy creature!? It was really a great time to capture them at the house and then cruise a few blocks away to the beach for more photos. AND we got the pugs involved! Gotta love those pugs. Thanks for yet another wonderful and inspiring session - and congrats :)

Chloe & Finn {West LA Family Photos}

I photographed big-sis Chloe ages ago - she's been all over our website looking a lot like her little brother Finn looks now - huge eyes and sweet expressions and super-cuteness. It was wonderful to get to re-unite with this family and capture Finn at the same age and see how much Chloe has grown (and she is hysterical!). It is so neat to see families that are growing up together, one of the best parts of this job (even though it makes us feel old! ;) - it is pretty amazing. Love this family and all their cute moments,  including re-enacting a shot we did of Dad with Chloe and his trumpet. Totally awesome.

Baby Buddy Elliott is Running! {Glendale Toddler Photography}

This little guy has had me charmed for a VERY long time now - since I met him at his first shoot when he was just a little baby with huge blue eyes, to his second shoot where we got to watch him eat and grin and play with his parents to now: he is the handsomest little fellow around, goodness that smile! Love him. It was wonderful to be able to get outside with them and see Buddy on the move (like, tearing across the grass!). He is such a special guy - and they are such a special family. I've really enjoyed capturing Buddy's first years :)
