Wow it's been a few weeks and I've been crazed on some project and family business but wanted to share some images from a GREAT show I attended and shot for the producers of The PLUSH SHOW in Los Angeles on June 5th. It was Amazing!

So this was the deal -- this amazacrazy entrepreneur Jina Park  came up with this idea to put together LA's grooviest luxury baby vendors for parents who want to find out about all the lurvley things available for babies in Los Angeles -- interior decorating, organic  toys, photography, party planners -- you name it. (See this beautiful Mama in purple below with celebs and her super-cute family!)

This was their first year and it was so beautiful and -- SHOCKER -- in LA, the weather was great too. I got a little sunburned snapping all the cute babies and their cuddly cute parents.  E! News came out to cover it along with some attendance of celeb moms. Check out our day and all the gorgeous things for little ones who don't even know how cool their life is yet...
 

I completed this collage a couple weeks ago and loved working on it SOOOO much! This is a 24x36 Gallery Wrap Canvas comprised of images spanning 5 years with one of my favorite client families.

When I began the business of photographing children and families, I knew that I loved to do it. What I could never have predicted was how much I would fall in love with shooting them again and again. The clients who shoot every year (or more) and allow me the privilege of documenting their family history. What an unbelievable gift to me it has been.

Thank you Jan, Chris, Jet and Charlie. You are one of the coolest families ever and I am so lucky to know you. See you next year!

What fun to be there on Camilla and Diana's first birthday for a cake-smashing good time this weekend! We did some portrait work and then wrapped things up with a traditional wreck-the-cake party with their whole family.

Sweetness all around -- Happy 1st Birthday girls!

Stealth Midwest visit, shoot #2, one of my super favorite families I'll continue to do unless wild horses somehow keep me away from them. Our weekend couldn't have been more dreamy Fall deelovely or delightful. My only regret was that I didn't have more time to hang out with this family who has become so dear to me.

We hadn't shot them all together in 3 years and I was soooo happy they decided to do a family shot this year too -- I warned about regrets later. Although one-on-one portraiture is my favorite for connection and honesty, I cannot underscore the importance of capturing you and your family together. The kids love it. And you will love it too, once the years pass and these times are suddenly so far away -- you will not care that you have a few extra lines around your eyes or things are not as, um, firm as they once were (people, everything is just moving South from here, let's face it.)
