Baby Ava

There's just something really special about "new" life... I LOVE newborn baby sessions! Many parents have this notion that if a baby can't smile, they're not ready. My personal feeling is that because a baby experiences so much change in their first year, the first few weeks are key for capturing their new skin, super-small features and funny expressions. I had the joy of documenting little Ava a couple weeks ago at her home in Manhattan Beach. It was fun to see mommy & daddy enjoying their precious little girl :)

Priscilla & Zach, Wedding Day ~ Pasadena, Ca

Last Saturday Zack & Priscilla were married in Pasadena and I had the great pleasure of capturing their wedding. I started shooting at the Langham Hotel, moved on to the Holy Family Church in South Pasadena and then onto Castle Green for the party. I also had the pleasure of working with Mary Dann (www.marydann.com) and her team of planners. Having every little detail accounted for is a huge blessing!

For me personally, I'd been looking forward to this wedding for some time. From the very beginning I felt a great connection with both Zack & Priscilla. I love cultivating this type of relationship! This allows me to be myself, have fun and capture great images that are both relaxed and powerful.
