Each year the lovely Horowitz Family sends out a Valentine's Day card and for the past 2 years I have been lucky enough to shoot it. Here is this year's image choice featuring Chloe & Jordan (& selected by Chloe & Jordan, mom won last year).
Now their mother Joi loves to be creative with the text side of the card and this year she presented me with this magazine clipping as inspiration. I sent this to my fabulous associate photographer/ designer Jenni Green and she did a beautiful job translating it into a fun card design.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

I was so thrilled to meet and photograph the unbearably cute and delightfully sweet Yang children sometime before the holidays. Kiyan and Jaewon must have been the most patient and kind big brothers I have ever seen and boy do they love their little sister, Seri. The three of us basically just chased this little one all over their yard. So cute.

I shot some images before the holidays that I was just dying to share here but I didn't want to unveil them before my dear clients had mailed them out. You know, I didn't want to ruin the surprise. This was the 4th year in a row that I did holiday cards for the Kiriakou family. They've all been a hit but the reaction from family and friends has been so great that we've felt the pressure to outdo last year's card. And I think we did again. Better start planning for next year.
Now the McIntyres were new clients for me this year...and friends of the Kiriakous. Everyone loved this card as well. But now I do believe I have waged a holiday card war between these two families. We shall see what 2011 brings...but the pressure is on!

The Guzmans are close friends of some of my other portrait clients which I find is true of pretty much everyone I photograph these days. Los Angeles has been smushed down to a very small circle for me which to be honest, makes it much more lovely and small-town(ish). It feels like everyone knows everyone and all I want is to be THE photographer amongst my own little circle. Mostly I focus in Studio City and the Hollywood Hills but I'm finding myself more and more all over this sprawling city, most recently over in Beverlywood to work with this truly loving and fun family.
We played on the trampoline a bit and the girls called the static electricity "being electrified". We had an awful lot of fun with all of that hair. :)
Plato, the family dog (who I hear goes on his own playdates) fully participated in our session as

I was so lucky to have so many awesomely creative and well-dressed clients to work with this year. This was my third portrait session with the beautiful Laibow family and my first session at their new home in Pacific Palisades. We bribed Sivan with lollipops which made their way into many of the images but I find that anything that keeps a toddler happy is a good thing. :) This was a super fun session to conceive, art direct and shoot. There's nothing better than when a client comes with some of their own ideas. Thank you again Galit, Brian & Sivan!
I love that you can see some of last year's mini-session images in the background.
