I'm a huge admirer of fellow Los Angeles-based photographer Lily Glass, and when the opportunity arose to photograph her family, I was admittedly a bit nervous (and by a bit, I mean my hands may have been sweating the whole drive to Glendale).
Read MoreEvery time I walk up to the front steps of a home before a family session, I take pause and soak in the fact that I get to be a small part of so many lives, witnessing the sheer excitement and awe of first-time parents, the happy chaos of families with multiple children, and the loving environments that have been created specifically to nurture so many awesome little humans.
Read MoreBecoming a photographer not only has allowed me to exercise my need to create on a regular basis, but it has introduced me to some of the most inspiring go-getters, and getting to know their stories (and of course capturing a piece of said story) has been one of my favorite perks of the job.
Read MoreBecoming a mother was one of the wildest, most magnificent adventures I've ever embarked upon, but my first weeks and months with an infant was also incredibly terrifying and isolating. Had I had the opportunity to be a part of Modern Mom Playdate (a monthly gathering hosted by co-founders Jacqui of Baby Boy Bakery and Megan Armenta-Garcia) three years ago, I can guarantee I would have been much more self-assured and optimistic about the amazing journey ahead.
Read MoreWhen given the chance to photograph for a kid's brand I adore, along the vibrant streets of Venice, and with my little one as one of the tiny subjects, you can bet I will respond with an enthusiastic yes before the question's even asked!
Read MoreAs a mother of a three-year-old who has an affinity for garish, Frozen-themed toys, I'm always on the lookout for any plaything that will both entertain my daughter and fulfill my inner minimalist. Enter Monroe Workshop.

Read MoreThe sun may have made only a brief appearance on this gal's golden birthday, but there was no shortage of brightness and joy during a rather epic party at Glaze Fire and Griffith Park last week!
Read MoreSince moving to Los Angeles, I've made a (very long) list of places I need to visit and photograph, and at the top was Joshua Tree National Park.
Read MoreWhile LA is guilty of masking any seasonal changes with its year-round sun and warmth, it was very apparent that spring had sprung last weekend at Books and Cookies in Santa Monica!
Read MoreI met fellow photographer Carolyn Ruiz at Photo Field Trip over three years ago, and our connection ran deep from the first few sentences that were exchanged.
Read MoreLos Angeles families! I'm so thrilled to announce that I'll be hosting a pop-up baby/kiddo photobooth at Books and Cookies LA in Santa Monica as part of their second annual Bunny Hop Spring Party later this month!
