Todd Aaron Jensen Author Headshots | Burbank Portrait Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing an award winning author  Todd Aaron Jensen.  His new book is available for online pre-order now and in bookstores everywhere on September 21, World Gratitude Day!

ON GRATITUDE is composed of candid, uplifting, frequently funny one-on-one interviews with 50 of the most prominent celebrities and public figures from the worlds of film, music, literature, television,
and professional sports.

ON GRATITUDE is a book for everyone, no matter their age, color, creed, or where they are on their spiritual path. For readers already spiritually attuned, the book is rich with affirmations, illuminating anecdotes, fresh insights, and great candor with which one might continue one’s journey. For the rest of us, ON GRATITUDE is a perfect place to start, a star-studded, conversational primer on how living a life of gratitude, even in our darkest hours, is essential.

Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

Priscilla’s Quinceanera | Alhambra Quinceanera Photography

On Saturday I got to photograph Priscilla’s Quinceañera and my hubby was the videographer!  It was so amazing and we really had a wonderful time.
Priscilla was absolutely gorgeous and the whole court looked FABULOUS!!  The party was a huge success with super fun people, great music, a lot of dancing and yummy food!  These are some of my favorites!

We’d like to thank everyone involved.  Phil, Mike and I had a wonderful time capturing so many wonderful memories for you to cherish always.  Enjoy the sneak peek!

Then we headed to Almansor Park to take formal pictures with the whole court. Priscilla with her parents Blanca and Mike…what a beautiful family! It was one of the hottest days of the summer but they were all such troopers.

I told them this would be their last picture and to make it FUN!!I liked their ride…it was very, very nice!This was one of the prettiest cakes I had ever seen.The whole court took dancing lessons for 6 months before the event. Even Priscilla and her Dad got on the dance floor. 

My new Kelly Moore Bag!

I am super excited…I just received my new Kelly Moore Bag!

I had been saving and saving for a new camera bag and after doing a bunch of research I was just about to purchase The Shoot Sac.  Well, I kept reading from people that they loved the Shoot Sac but then others said they loved the fact that they could actually put their camera body in the Kelly Moore bag and that’s exactly what I needed.   So I’m going to give it a try and see if I love it as much as everyone else does.  I’ll post a review on the blog soon.

Nathan turns 9!

Our son, who’s smart, witty and handsome turned 9.

How can that be?  I still remember the day he was born like it was yesterday.  I also can’t believe our daughter is going to be a teenager this year…time sure is flying by way too fast if you ask me.

We had a wonderful day celebrating and doing exactly what he wanted.  We started out the day watching the movie Shrek.Played a little arcade with Daddy and Kaitlin!

Couldn’t believe I actually got to take a picture with my wonderful kids…FINALLY!Had lunch at Red Robin.

It was dessert time!Of course we had to go to the Lego Store…one very happy boy!And have friends over for a sleep over.My beautiful family…I feel so blessed!

Normally I need to bribe him to take a picture but today I was able to get some nice photographs of him…SHOCKER…but I was so happy. 

New Family | Los Angeles Newborn Photographer

Meet the Cohen Family…they are some of the nicest people we know!  We met Jeff years ago through mutual friends and when he got married to Francoise…well we couldn’t have been happier.  They are such a beautiful couple!  Now jump forward a couple of years and they just welcomed their new baby boy…Mitchell.  They call him “Mitchy” for short and he’s 6 weeks old and couldn’t be more adorable!!  We spent a couple of hours together and just enjoyed their new bundle of joy!  Here are a few of my favorites!SSP_5956aWSSP_5983aChbwW5932+5919 (900)W3 collage(900)WHe was mesmerized by the windows.SSP_6033aWSSP_6048ChBWSSP_6094aWMitchy blueblanket2(900)WHe finally couldn’t keep his eyes open…SSP_6076aWMitchy on Parents bed2(900)WHis nursery looked like it came out of a magazine spread…it was so beautiful!SSP_6115aWThe rocking chair was previously owned by Jeff’s grandmother and it was still in wonderful condition.Furniture 2(900)WFurniture-3(900)WSSP_6183aWSSP_6161aWFeet+sleeping2(900)WThank you so much Jeff and Francoise for allowing me to spend a few hours with your wonderful family.
