Baby Ella! {Los Feliz Baby & Family Photographer}

This little girl is such a sweetheart! I knew the second I walked in the door she was going to be fun to photograph and she certainly didn't disappoint. Ella LOVED her toy bunny, I mean LOOOVEEED her bunny! I've yet to meet a baby as fond of a toy as Ella is of her stuffed bunny. The mere sight of bunny made her erupt in laughter, she even got jealous when her dad hugged him. Ella is such a beautiful baby and a joy to photograph, here are a few of my favorite shots of her (and bunny!)...

Henry & Ethan at the Santa Monica Pier! {Santa Monica Family Photographer}

I photographed Henry & Ethan last week at the Santa Monica Pier on the final day of the Los Angeles heat wave! Thankfully the beach was a bit cooler and the boys were total water babies so we got to frolic in the ocean a bit :) Here are a few of my favorite photos from Henry an Ethan's afternoon at the beach...

Lovely Nicholas and Maddy! {Manhattan Beach Family Photographer}

As per our usual MO, lovelovelovelovelove this fam! Cute (ok adorable!) little Nicholas and Maddy and their parents absolutely made my day and I left with a big ol' smile on my face - you know the one - where you feel like you accomplished something creative and cool and good? That smile! Haha. They are the nicest family and I absolutely adore the images - I have learned that I love certain shots of "beautiful chaos" - I really get creatively snap-happy when I get to capture those moments of reality that are so, well, real - shots that I  know these families are going to look back at (or at least I hope!) and just laugh or cry or whatever... it's just awesome and it's in those moments that I know we are capturing something timeless. It is fulfilling on some level. The family photo below is one of those. Don't worry guys - we also got some straight-up regular classic looking-at-the-camera portraits - but that one makes me grin. And these kids are just plain awesome - and can you believe those eyelashes? Like huge butterfly wings. They are so cute, and so easygoing. Thanks for being so awesome everyone - can't wait to share the rest! :)
