School bells are ringing and it's time for back to school mini sessions

What a great way to commemorate the beginning of a new school year!

 

Brynlee turns one | Rancho Palos Verdes Family Photographer

 

Happy birthday Brynlee! This sweet angel just started walking a few weeks ago and absolutely loved her newfound freedom. I was shocked at what a happy and bubbly mood she was in -- she was so curious about everything, from the flowers to the pebbles on the ground. She especially loved playing with the daisies and picked a few to give to her daddy... how sweet! 

 

 

Fab Friday - Sony Post and Colorworks 13 Deadly Sins Party | Culver City Event

An early Halloween bash to haunt your nightmares! Sony generously donated the proceeds from this event to autism research. 

 

Sanchez Extended Family Session | San Pedro Family Photographer

This was the first extended family photo that the Sanchez family has ever taken! We met at gorgeous Averill park, where engagement, wedding, and quiceneara photography sessions were simultaneously happening that same evening. It was such an honor to capture all of the generations together; these photos are the type that you value for a lifetime and deserve a place on the mantle. 

 

Mina turns two | Manhattan Beach Family Photographer

It was probably the hottest weekend in the history of the beach cities but the Anwar-Hasan family were troopers! Although our session was smack in the middle of a very busy Labor Day weekend, we managed very well despite the crowds. Mina loved chasing the seagulls around the beach, chucking sand and seashells at me (I asked for it!), and watching the dolphins jump in the distance. It was so cute how she'd refer to birds as "tweet tweet" and water as "agua".
