Maternity Leave (sort of)

I am officially on Maternity Leave from client photoshoots (not product-fulfillment and other business stuff) until May.
I almost don’t know what to do with myself on weekends without my client photoshoots!  I’ve been fortunate to have been booked solid for 9 straight months — every Saturday and Sunday from May 2009 through January 2010.  Sigh… [...]

A Playgroup Baby Shower

Awwww… I am so touched.  The moms in my son’s playgroup threw me a baby shower!
Since I move as smooth as a Weeble Wobble (do those toys even exist anymore?), I brought my camera, but only goofed around for a few minutes…

My favorite theme [...]

Esther & Richard – A Los Angeles Couple

Is this an engagement shoot?  Nope.
A newlywed shoot?  Nah.
Esther and Richard have been married for 9 years!  They are adorable when they are together.  There is laughter, jokes and stories… and don’t forget the oodles of sports and beer!

Zac Part 2

I posted part 1 yesterday because I projected it would take a long time to go through the images from my out-of-town shoot.
This is so typical of me with photography… I ended up staying up late last night to finish going through all the images from Zac’s newborn shoot and worked on editing them today [...]
