Evangeline had her first Halloween! Her and her boston terrier sister Clementine were unicorns. For months now I have had a vision in my head about how cute they would be together in their photo. Who knew my baby would flip out in the unicorn costume? Not me! I thought she would be happy and smile for her photo. Ha. Ha. I started the unicorn challenge at 9:30am. I was finally able to get a decent photo at 4:30pm. It literally took me all day to get this photo. My entire day was consumed with the unicorn photo. Poor Clementine […]
Caitlin Taylor part 2 | Los Angeles portrait photographer
After taking photos at Primo Passo in Santa Monica we headed to Venice. Caitlin had two houses in mind she wanted to shoot in front of but we didn’t have the address for either. Somehow, we found both houses! The last happens to belong to famous photographer Philip Dixon. He was outside when we arrived and we asked if it would be ok to take photos outside. He said yes and then told us to come in and look inside! It was AMAZING! I’ve never seen a house like this ever. He designed and built it 25 years ago.
Caitlin Taylor | Santa Monica portrait photographer
I photographed Caitlin two years ago for her senior portraits. As soon as she got out of the car in her tight skirt and crop top I said “model. You need to model.” This girl is seriously stunning. Inside and out. Since I photographed her she has blown up on social media and was even booked to do a shoot for Urban Outfitters! You can follow her at her blog Pretty Undecided or on Instagram. I have so many amazing photos of Caitlin I have to blog her in sections. We had an adventure day with Evangeline in tow (she […]
Evangeline week three | Santa Monica newborn photographer
Here are photos of Evangeline’s third week of life. I decided that instead of doing the monthly photo of her, I am going to take one weekly. I did a 52 weeks project a couple years ago and now I will do one for Evangeline. I decided to do this after seeing her one week photo. I was shocked with how teeny tiny she was and how much she changes week by week. So every week her weekly photo will be posted on my blog along with big camera photos I take of her throughout the week. I take mostly […]
Evangeline week two | Santa Monica newborn photographer
When clients call me for newborn shoots I make it very clear that I am a lifestyle newborn photographer. What that means is I document real moments in your home. I don’t use props or backdrops. If your style is more Anne Geddes for your newborn, that’s great, but I am not the photographer for you. The same goes for Evie. When I see moments I grab my camera and click. Even if I wanted to get all Anne Geddes with our baby I would have a very difficult time considering she is two weeks old and is 10.13 pounds […]
Evangeline Vera week one | Santa Monica newborn photographer
Our baby girl Evangeline Vera was born August 30th 2015 at 11:57am. She weighed 9.7 pounds (wow!) and is the most perfect girl ever. She smiles, she holds her head up, she is so strong, she makes the funniest noises, she slept for six hours straight at five days old! I could go on and on. I take a million iphone photos of her because I am mostly laid up in bed nursing her, but when I can I am trying to use my big camera as much as possible. Here are photos from her first week of life.
Ben | Santa Monica family photographer
I’m actually happy my own baby is hanging out & being lazy because it allowed me to be able to photograph Ben and & his family. Ben was two weeks old the day of his shoot and his due date was supposed to be today! He’s such a beautiful little baby and did so well for his shoot. His big brother Hank really tried to steal the whole show. You can see in Hank’s eyes how much he adores his baby brother. How fun for Ben to see these photos of him & Hank when he’s old enough to know […]
