Updated Headshots

Updated Headshots

Why not combine your family photo session with some headshots? You’re already dressed up and ready to go. It only takes a few minutes to get a few updated images.

Of course there won’t be time for multiple outfit changes, and a variety of backgrounds. If you want that option, be sure to book a dedicated headshot session where we can be more focused.

Senior Portraits

Senior year - the most exciting, stressful, fun, difficult, and long years of your life. A big chapter of your life is ending, and a new chapter is beginning. Senior year starts with all the anticipation of figuring out where you’ll go next year. The waiting and hoping for college acceptance letters can be agonizing. Last year we did that with my daughter. She struggled with not knowing where she would be going in a few months. Then there was the decision of where she should go. She had two options, and it took her a very very long time to decide.

Senior portraits shouldn’t be stressful. They should be the fun part of your year. It’s a time to show who you are right now in your life. Choose your location, bring 2-3 of your favorite outfits. I encourage you to think outside the box. Don’t just do what everyone does. Think of a location that means a lot to you, or an outfit that has special meaning. Wear the uniform you wear for your sport, or include your favorite animal (as you’ll see below). Don’t be afraid to make it all about you. This is the time in your life when you get to do that! Enjoy it. Give me a call. We can plan together, and as you’ll see below, you can bring your whole family.

Taylor Fanto

Taylor Fanto has a new album out. Her voice is so unique, and so beautiful. She's been hard at work writing songs and creating. Go check out her album on iTunes!

We had a great time photographing her new album cover.  It's hard to go wrong with Taylor.

Good Vibes

I love it when the parents of the families I'm photographing are as relaxed as possible, and just allow their children to be themselves, in a fun playful way. Life with little kids is chaos, and often unpredictable. Photo sessions with little ones is the same, if not more so when the parents are anxious and worried about their children's behavior.

The ONLY thing I have found that reduces the tension and stress is if the children are allowed to have fun, and move around. This is why I love outdoor sessions so much. Children have room to roam and be free from constraints. They are willing to smile for a few if they can run and move for the other ones. If the experience is fun and joyful they will show you their genuine smiles, and isn't that what you want?

Completely Devoted

Charles and Amy love their little girls. Of course they love them, but I can tell they are not the type of parents who sit on their phones, or can't wait to get a babysitter for their children. They are fully present and delighted to be with their girls.  They carefully plan their photo sessions each year, booking ahead of time to make sure they get their preferred date, and a good time of day. They gather the most beautiful dresses for their girls, and bring little things to incorporate in the session - like their favorite boots, or last year, the chair that was passed down for generations.

I love to see how much they want their girls to be themselves, and let their personalities shine. One of the girls is a little more careful and reserved, and the other one is energetic and moving all of the time. They know their daughters well, and capitalize on their strengths. When one of the girls wants to gather acorns for her collection her mom finds a safe place to store them. When one needs a few minutes to herself she is given that time.

Charles and Amy are teaching their little girls constantly. They point out trees or bugs or squirrels that scurry by us. They sing favorite songs with them, tell stories, and answer all of their questions.  It makes me think I need to be more aware of things when I'm out with my own son who is only a month younger than their oldest. I need to be talking to him about these things. I need to spend more time playing with him. They grow up much too fast.

One Big Happy Family | Large Family Portraits in Ventura County

Family is everything. They are what keeps us going to work everyday, waking up for 2:00 am feedings, staying up late to help with homework assignments, or cleaning up after your child with the stomach flu. We are constantly making sacrifices for our families, and for the most part, we do it willingly and happily. Just being with them makes it all worthwhile.

One of the favorite parts of my day is when I pick up my kindergartner from school. The moment he sees me his face lights up and he runs to me with arms wide up. It just doesn't get better than that! It makes me want to do his laundry, fix his meals, and do all of the "work" that goes along with being a mother.

Jeannie is one of those moms who cannot get enough of her family. She just finished chemo, and wanted to celebrate with images of her family together on the beach. It was such a magical night where all the stars aligned and these images not only fill her with joy, but me as well, even though I only met them that day.
