AVP 2015 Year in review And Other Stuff

Wow, what a year. It has been an amazing year professionally. I’m so thankful for all of my clients for trusting me to document your lives and I’m so thankful to have fallen into (and in love with) shooting stock photography. I started shooting stock photography full force in 2014 and it was the best year ever. Anyway, I don’t feel like getting into…

Conejo Valley Family Photographer – The B Family

I was fortunate enough to have met this beautiful vegan mama when she contacted me about a photo shoot. She is a friend of a friend and she had won a photo shoot that I had donated to a fundraiser raffle. It was so meant to be because we are now friends and have already shared some vegan meals together. I was able to…

Conejo Valley Pet Photographer – Jessie

This is Jessie. She is pretty much the raddest dog. She is so sweet, loving, and beautiful. For a Christmas present to Jessie’s dad, we took her out to shoot images that would make up a calendar. It was really so much fun. I did remove her leash in a handful of shots in photoshop. She is the kind of dog that would have…

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge – Pets

This is a portrait that I took with film years ago of my late iguana. His name was Venus. I thought he was a girl for a long time. He was the best and I miss him so much. 😦 Read more at http://www.iheartfaces.com/how-it-works/grab-a-button/#HRKrspd6ZwwbFmJA.99

Woodland Hills Family Photographer – Orchid And Her Family

This is Orchid. She is a very loved, sweet faced, gentle dog. She has cancer. =( This is where photography REALLY proves meaningful. Whether it be a hired professional or your own personal snapshots. Having the ones you love in pictures is priceless. When I met Orchid and her elder sibling Iris , they greeted me with such love and showered me with kisses….

Newbury Park Newborn Photographer – Baby P

This little baby girl has the BEST hair! I just couldn’t get enough of it. She is so sweet and so cute. I am very happy that I got to meet her and her awesome parents. This shoot was great because it was a little of everything. A newborn session, family session, and a tiny bit of documentary. Their dog is a recent rescue…

Camarillo Family Photographer – Baby G is 6 Months Old!

This is my second time photographing this adorable family. You can see the first shoot here. I really had a hard time narrowing down for this post. Baby G is so adorable and was the sweetest thing for me all over again. She is such a happy baby and even though we picked a time of day that was less than ideal for her,…

West Hills Family Photographer – The P Family

This session was awesome because it was full of activities. We started with story time in the family room. What I didn’t expect were dogs to be a part of the session and I am SO happy they came inside and joined us. The sweetest dogs ever! Love them and they LOVE their family so much, it shows. After story time, we walked to…

Westalke Village Photographer – The Suskauer Family

Kathleen is Amelie’s Kindergarten teacher. We just love her so much and I felt so honored when she asked me to do her holiday pictures. Her husband Stewart just adores her, but she does have some competition. Their puppy Jessie is often in the spotlight. Kathleen would probably say that it’s ALL Jessie in the spotlight. But, ya know, this is one special dog….
