Throwback to my First Family Photoshoot! (From 2010)

Throwback to my very first family photoshoot in 2010! I remember feeling nervous when Jen asked me if I had ever considered doing a family photoshoot. I agreed to do it and I'm glad I did! I mean, look at these incredibly photogenic subjects; photographing them was so easy. They were all so patient with me--the shoot lasted two hours (with two kids!) at the Camarillo Ranch House one afternoon. The post-photoshoot work took a longer time than I had anticipated--I was apparently obsessed with creative cropping, blurry backgrounds, and some artsy filters back then! =} But thankfully we got to capture some lovely moments, and though if I could go back in time I would have used the flash more strategically, or sharpened the images a little more, I will always be grateful for them and their willingness to give me a chance! Thank you Johnson family!

Los Angeles Wedding Photography: A Wedding Open House


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.
