Leah and her husband moved here from Wisconsin and reached out to me about doing a family portrait photo session. They live in San Pedro, so we met at the top of Friendship Park, which straddles Palos Verdes and San Pedro. The light was perfect, with Catalina Island in the background and a misty haze over the water. Their 6 month old son was very obedient and the photo session went really well. I hope the Aiyer family loves living in CA! Welcome to the West Coast!

I love photographing weddings. I especially love being the photographer at weddings in beautiful locations. I especially love being the photographer of weddings at beautiful locations, on beautiful days with beautiful couples. It makes being a wedding photographer very EASY! Jeni and Joel were the perfect couple. Young, beautiful, and in love. They even write and sing songs to each other. So romantic. They decided to get married at the Palos Verdes Beach and Athletic Club in Palos Verdes, CA. The PVBAC is a perfect wedding venue. It's literally right on the Pacific Ocean! Plus the Palos Verdes Beach and Athletic club has a special place in my family. My husband's family grew up going swimming there, and my husband's father had his wedding to his new wife there, on the beautiful Palos Verdes cliffs. So to say that Jeni and Joel's wedding was special for me was an understatement. I am so happy for this young, wonderful couple, and I wish them all the best in the years to come. Thank you for letting me be your wedding photographer!

This photo shoot was the second time I got to photograph the Mesta Family. The first time I did a photo session with them, baby Mateo was still in his mother's womb! How fun! This time we were taking photos to celebrate his 1st birthday! Time flies! We did the photo shoot at the top of Friendship Park, which straddles Palos Verdes, Rancho Palos Verdes, and San Pedro. It was so fun working with them again, and I hope I get the chance to continue capturing special photos of this sweet family. 

The Locke family reached out to me to take some photos of them and their two silly boys. We did the photo shoot in Palos Verdes near the lighthouse. The light was perfect for photography, and the boys were playful and cooperative. I especially loved how Mrs. Locke's dress was perfectly color coordinated with the sunflowers. We had a great time and the photo shoot produced some really nice shots. Most importantly is that they will have some memories forever with them as their boys grow up! Hope to do another photo shoot with the Locke's soon! 

Had a great time doing a post wedding photo shoot with this beautiful couple at Terranea resort in Palos Verdes. They wanted more portrait pictures than their photographer captured on their wedding day, so they reached out to me for a portrait session. They were so much fun, and very adventurous. They even climbed a cliff to snap a perfect picture! What a great time!

Diane emailed me to set up a family portrait session for her, her husband, and their two children. They'd been wanting to take family portraits for quite a while, so I was happy that I had a weekend time slot available for them. We did the photo shoot at Friendship Park which borders San Pedro and Rancho Palos Verdes. The sunlight was perfect for the photo session, and I feel we captured some great images and memories. Most importantly, the family had a great time! I love what I get to do!

Mahina reached out to me to capture maternity pictures of her cute baby bump. We decided to do thoe photo shoot at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center, which is a wonderful place for photography. The light was perfect and the couple was happy and cute together. I loved taking these pictures and the parents are happy with how they turned out. Many blessings on the new bundle of joy!

Claire called me because she wanted to take family portraits with her grandkids. The two kids were SO cute, that the pictures couldn't help but turn out great. We did the photo shoot at Wilderness Park, in Redondo Beach, CA. It's a great place for a photographer and provides plenty of options for great photos. The kids were well behaved and we captured some great shots! I hope I get to work with these cuties again and see them grow up!

It's not often that I'm asked to photograph funerals or memorial services, but I have photographed a few. It is quite an honor to be a part of a family's intimate moments celebrating the life of someone that they loved deeply. I was grateful to be a part of the Tan Memorial Service for one of my client's mother. This funeral was at Peninsula Community Church in Rancho Palos Verdes. It was a beautiful and peaceful funeral, because of the mother's faith, everybody knew that she was in God's presence. That made it a celebration of her life, and the life that she's now living in eternity. I am so grateful to have been asked to capture this memorial of a special lady and her special family.
