stella | 5-week old

I spent a wonderful Saturday morning with this sweet little 5-week old, Stella and her family. It's such an adorable family. I love Stella's room. It's so cute with a cherry blossom tree right by her bed. We got so many options for the holiday card design. Can't wait to see how the holiday cards will come out.

stella totally looks like a monkey on daddy's shoulder.

My family portrait season is in full swing so I am *very* behind on blogging my wedding assignments. Hopefully, I will have more time to organize everything before the holiday and post them on my blog.

happy halloween!

Met with Erica Tucker at Sweet E's again last week. She whipped out more whimsical cupcakes and got some new ones just in time for Halloween. They are so cute.

halloween 2009

We had such a great time having Chloe and Noelle to join us for an early Halloween Party. Evan was so adorable in his costume with a huge belly, wobbling like a drunken dinosaur.

Noelle's grandma tailored made an "Alice" costume for Noelle. She looked so cute with a little black bow on her curly blonde hair. Chloe totally got into her character of Snow White, reaching out for apples whenever she saw one.

We have enough apples to share but apples in other's hands are always sweeter and crispier. =)

evan | 9 months old

Evan is 9 months old now. How time flies! It seems like I just finished his 6 months old session not a long while ago. Evan's mom told me that they are moving to Seattle in a couple of months. I wish you and your family all the best on your relocation.

The photo session was not done yet because we had two friends joining us for a Halloween costume party. Evan is changing into his costume now. Please come back for more pictures...

lauren | 3 months old - part 2

I love these pictures from the black background series for Lauren's 3 months old session. It has a totally different feel. I am working with Lauren's mom to pick out 9 favorite pics for the framed art. We are having such a hard time because we love them all. I love Lauren's skin tone too but we need to convert the pictures into B&W so the framed art will match her sisters' pictures.

I am looking forward to photographying little Lauren again. See you all in December.

The Pineda | wedding

The Pineda's wedding ceremony and reception were on the 54th floor at the City Club on Bunker Hills. It was very elegant and sophisticated with a breathtaking view of the downtown Los Angeles. Before the ceremony, we went down to the street level for some portraits.

They are such a beautiful and sweet couple. Congratulations!
