A precarious but memorable shoot with this beautiful family! The Ventura Pier was recently damaged because of heavy rainfall and pounding waves, and rocks were added to minimize a repeat event. So, while it's not the most iconic, sandy "beach" session, each of these kids and mom were absolute troopers. I literally couldn't stop photographing them, they were great. The colors they wore were tasteful and the pops of coral were well planned. I'm glad I got to capture their Farewell California family photo (dad was already in their new home) before they headed north!

This family got up very early for a sunrise session, and I'm not sure if they agree, but it was worth it! The sunrise was beautiful, casting this warm, glowing light on the mostly deserted beach in Ventura. They may have gotten more wet than they would have liked, but props to them for being willing to put their feet into the water. They are an exemplary family and I'm grateful to know them! These are the moments that matter, and I'm honored to have been able to capture a few.

This Los Angeles open house (they had a formal reception in a different state when they were married) was such a fantastic event to shoot because it was so fun! Everyone was having a blast, laughing, dressing up at the photobooth, eating candy from the favor table, dancing, and who wouldn't be happy, watching the bride and groom who didn't stop smiling all night? Happiness is infectious. I don't usually shoot weddings, but I'm glad I got to do this one for my friends.
