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.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It has started out as quite a lovely day. My niece and nephew slept over last night. Miss Zoe is currently eating waffles in bed watching the Macy's parade, Master Henry and Gary are drawing all sorts of violent "boy stuff" that I just can't understand, the dogs are playing at my feet and I am sitting at my desk with a waffle and a mimosa. So I thought, why not put up a blog post in the midst of all of the festivities? So...here is a recent portrait session I did with the absolutely beautiful and very enjoyable Krell family; Ami, Jacky, Justin & Ryan. Enjoy!

The holiday season is about to begin. And just FYI...that means complete and total lunacy for myself and every other family photographer in the country. I have already started shooting sessions for all of my regular portrait clients and I was thrilled that Arlene, Tom and Ben caught me early this year. Ben is away in his first year of college so we nabbed him while he was home. So if you are one of my regular holiday clients, please be sure to get in touch with me ASAP. I literally have like 2 more days available this year to shoot. Don't make me chase you down!
The Anderson Family
Hey everyone. I'm blogging from the east coast, specifically DC this week. Lots of weddings this time of year. Busy busy. But way back in August I had the incredible pleasure to photograph my friend Simon's family (whom I affectionately refer to as "Pictage Simon) and I must say that his wife Maryam and daughter Yasmin are just as delightful and dreamy as Simon is. Just the loveliest family in so many ways. So I spent the afternoon in Venice with them, starting at their home, then we canoed down the canal to the beach. Well they canoed, I ran along side with cameras dangling from me but you get the idea. My side of things is always far less glamourous than what you see in the pictures. It's funny how people who work with photographers are just like us...they have few or no pictures of their own families. So Simon
