The Kisiel Girls

This was such a fun shoot! I was overjoyed when I received a call from Katie to set up a shoot for her girls. I’ve had the chance to photograph their fun “free spirits” for quite a few years now. On this gorgeous spring day I captured a few images of middle sister, Skylar, adorned in her First Communion dress along with various other images of all the sisters. These girls have such fun, bubbly personalities separately, but put them together and watch out! Containing them is out of the question, it’s mostly just trying to hang on and grab “real moments” of their true personalities. I hope you enjoy a few of my favs!

The Mohammad Family

Last week I photographed the Mohammad family at Westlake Village inn, one of my favorite places to shoot. On a radiant afternoon I had the joy of capturing images of little Amirah and her admiring parents. It took a little while for Amirah to warm up, but when once she did, her smile was ADORABLE. That smile matched with her big, beautiful eyes was a hard match to resist!

The Hirsch Family

A couple weeks ago, a couple of my favorite wedding clients had me take photos of their expanding family! I initially photographed Brad & Leia’s wedding in Lake Louis, Canada in 2007.. Since that incredible weekend, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know the Hirsch’s better and better. I photographed them in wilderness park in Porter Ranch. Enjoy!

The Wedding

The Family

The Rosales Family

I had the pleasure of photographing Danielle & Oscar’s wedding in August 2008… their wedding images ares still some of my all-time favorites! (see below). So when they called me to schedule a family session with their beautiful 9-mo old daughter Isabella I was overjoyed! They took advantage of my “end of summer” special: $99 in the month of September.

I photographed the Rosales family yesterday afternoon at Lake Balboa Park in Encino, CA. I love shooting here because not only is it local, but quite scenic as well. Along with the Lake, it’s dotted with beautiful trees and a contoured landscape. Photographing the Rosales family felt so natural and was extremely fun! Please enjoy a few of my favorite images below.

If you or a loved one are interested in a once in a lifetime session for my special september pricing, please contact the studio today!

The Roberts Family

Here is another super-fun family session! This session took place at the Neighborhood Church in Palos Verdes… a beautiful location with panoramic views of the Pacific. I had the pleasure of capturing Amber’s maternity session in early 2009, so it was great to get reacquainted and also finally meet & photograph little Greyson. I loved the outfits that Greyson wore for the session.. full of character & style! Additional thank you to Meghan Lubeck who assisted & captured several incredible images as well.

Oh Baby! Ava

I’ve had the pleasure of watching little Baby Ava go from a delicate, little newborn to a scrumptious baby girl full of laughs and smiles. Last week I made a trip to Manhattan Beach to photograph Ava… The session started when I snuck into her room to get photographs on her changing table. The moment I saw her laying there I started snapping pics.. she was so amazingly cute! Thank you to “mommy” Heather for giving me the joy!

The Da Motta Family

Here is a recent session I photographed at Johnny Carson Park in Burbank. I had such a great time getting to know the Da Motta family! They have the cutest 19 month old named Enzo.. so full of energy! Here are a few of my favs!

Baby Breckin

I had the pleasure of meeting little Baby Breckin for the first time last Friday. This family have been great clients for me. We photographed mom & dad’s wedding 10+ years ago and have captured every one of their children as newborns. I did this photography session at my studio and loved the results! The top image is probably my favorite. I LOVE the way Breckin’s brother and sister’s are admiring his baby-ness. The image at the bottom is fun too. Breckin was born on St. Patrick’s Day, hence the appropriately placed Shamrocks!

Baby Matthew

Danny — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 20:14:48 +0000

Well, somethings in the air… or water! Here come the babies… I had the privilege of capturing Baby Matthew just a couple weeks ago. Alex informed me a couple days prior that my “newest” client was on the scene. So I made arrangements that very week to get those first few moments, silly expressions & hear-warming kisses (the same could be said of mom and dad!) I photographed Mike & Alex’s wedding in the Fall of 2008 and it was a heck of a good time (to put it mildly). It thrills me to be able to capture more life milestones for such good friends.

The session itself got of to a slow start… late sleepless nights, long showers & blow dryers can do that to a girl (or was it Mike.. still not sure!). The few extra moments at the start allowed me to capture some of the baby room details and other little reminders of his arrival. From there it was pure magic.. Take a peek at Baby Matthew!

Baby Noa

Danny — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 05:38:48 +0000

I love it when past wedding clients resurface with big bundles of joy! I photographed Hazelle & Jason’s wedding a couple years ago so when Hazelle called to tell me the good news, I was overjoyed! I photographed baby Noa on a beautiful Southern California day a couple weeks ago. I love capturing these first precious moments in the comfort of their new home.. and many times there are cute outfits, meaningful gifts, soft blankets and decorated rooms that add to the excitement. One of the elements I love was present right from the start: big windows full of rich light.

So the session got off to a great start. Baby Noa is such a happy, playful baby that capturing fun images of her was pretty easy. Getting an opportunity to photograph a little person at the very beginning of their life is truly an honor. I feel the same way about weddings, but newborn sessions have a special place in my heart. I always approach this type of session with a mindset of wanting to tell this little one’s story… even at such a tender age.
