It is always exciting when one of my clients welcomes a new baby to the family and I was thrilled to be called in to photograph the most recent edition to the Laibow family, little baby Shai. So just 2 days before leaving on my last trip to DC, I popped in to say my first hellos and to do little Shai's first portrait session. This was the 4th time I've photographed her big sister, Sivan...click here to see our most recent previous session. Galit & Brian make the most beautiful babies...I'm so fortunate to be their photographer.

I must say that it is particularly special when I am asked by a photographer or anyone who knows a lot about photography to shoot their wedding/ family/ children/ whatever. So I was particularly thrilled when recently my friend & (CEO of my lab, Pictage) Jim Collins asked me to photograph his son for his senior portraits. Especially since I don't really shoot senior portraits. Well this would be my third one ever.
But what was really interesting was to work with a young man who is on the brink of adult-hood and try to show him a more grown-up version of himself...while still trying to capture the person he is today. So here are a few faves from my session with Mitch. Thanks again for being such a good sport! :)

I have known Sara and Alex for a number of years so I was thrilled when they asked me to shoot a few portraits of them before their twins arrive. Any Top Chef fans out there might recognize Alex from Season 5. But whether or not you're a foodie, if you live in or visit Los Angeles, you must be sure to swing by Sweetsalt Food Shop in Toluca Lake which is owned and operated by Sara and Alex. It is one of my absolute favorite lunch places in the area and the food is always super fresh and simple yet always full of interesting flavors and combinations that would never occur to me but always work perfectly. And I feel so lucky that it is only a couple of miles from my house. Yay...hmm, now I'm getting hungry.
Can't wait to meet those babies you guys!

My session with The McColls had been a long time coming. Gwyn and I met sometime in late 2010 via their friends and neighbors The McGraw/ Pierson family who are long-term clients of mine. Even better, The McColls are yet another client who live close enough to me for me to walk over to their house. Of course I didn't...because this is LA after all, and no one walks. :) Kidding...I might walk if I didn't bring so much gear but I digress.
Scarlet and Tula were dressed as cute as could be when I arrived and just got even cuter when they came out decked out in full ballerina garb. I love girly girls and I just think that when they look back on these in 20 years it will make them smile to see themselves all cutsied up in tiaras and just having fun...in their home, with their doggies.

I was so pleased to have the opportunity to work with another delightful Pettus family this year. Those who have been reading this blog for a LONG time or just know me really well know that my other Pettus Family, the Alexandra & Charleton Pettus clan were my first clients after I moved to Los Angeles. And since then I can trace back probably about 70% of my business back to their initial referrals. I adore them for more reasons than they could ever know. So when I received an email from Julia & Tom Pettus (Charleton's cousins), I was just thrilled to add yet another Pettus family to my collection of lovely clients. And this young (and growing) family could not possibly be more adorable or delightful if they tried. Julia and Tom are expecting little Tuck to arrive any day now so they really wanted to capture a
