My Kids: O, Christmas Tree

There is something about seeing the holidays through your childrens' eyes. I was able to capture the amazement and seeing my daughter mesmerized by the beauty of the Christmas tree was all I needed to start the season.

Private Session: Fujimoto Family

It was a pleasure to take holiday pictures of my cousin Ramona and her beautiful little family. Sakura reminds me of a little doll in these pictures.

Brothers: Isaac (3 years old) & Ezra (6 months)

I got a chance to take these cute pictures of these brothers and their parents. Renee and I have been friends since high school and it was a pleasure for me to get family pics of her and Tony with their handsome boys.

Renee and I had higher hopes for getting both boys to look at the camera and smile at the same time, and we accomplished it a couple of times, but they really do shine in their own solo photos.

Private Session: Munoz Family

Jenn and I have been friends since high school, in fact, I was with her when she met her husband Hector. They are great parents to some pretty amazing kids. Strangely enough, they have never had family photos taken, so Jenn enlisted me to finally get some photos taken of their little family.

Noemi and Jacob were such great models and the ones of them together are such beautiful pictures.

Private Session: Leah (4 years old)

It took Leah a little while to warm up to me but once I started asking her to show me how high she could jump, we started to get pretty amazing pictures.

I really got her to pose for me once I started to show her the pictures I was getting and she saw how cute she looked!

My Kids: USC Football Game

My kids are used to going to the game to cheer on the Trojans, but this time I took my camera, and lucky for them, got some great shots before the game.

My Kids: Atiana Halloween Costume

My daughter was Merida for Halloween and she definitely had the one necessary accessory to make the perfect Merida - her hair! I am so glad I took her out to get some great pictures of this costume, it is my favorite so far.
