Last week I photographed my sweet cousin Luke’s 1st birthday. I think this is my favorite session this year. He’s as sweet as can be and the props Mommy used are a reflection of his parents (or should I say-Daddy’s) loves; Star Wars, Fire-fighting and some good cake (from a family favorite-King’s Hawaiian Bakery)! He smiled and giggled throughout the shoot, which, naturally made me smile and giggle!

Happy 1st Birthday Lukie!

I have a deep admiration for independent, smart, go-getting women. Liz was exactly that. She’s completely her Masters at Cal State Dominguez Hills. It was our first time meeting but I got a good vibe for who Liz is-a sweet, God-loving, driven woman.

In her session we were able capture the fun side of a graduation-the celebration, the cap and gown, the CONFETTI!! But it was also important to me was capturing Liz’s beauty-to celebrate her and her accomplishments. She’s gorgeous in all of her photos but my favorites are capturing her sweet smile and her quiet confidence.

Congratulations Liz! I wish you much success and love!
