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…

Newbury Park Lifestyle Photographer – The Sweetest, Happiest Siblings

THIS SHOOT!!! It’s in the record books as one of my most absolute favorite shoots ever! These kids were so amazing! Their mom was so amazing. The location and light AMAZING! What was so great about this shoot was that mom wanted her kids to be photographed organically. As you probably know, that’s what I do. But, even when my clients view my work, they…

Ventura County Newborn Photographer – The Sweet New Family

I’m pretty sure newborn shoots are my favorite. I especially love first time parents at newborn shoots. Being a parent is so life changing and I love capturing all of the newness that I can. This shoot came from a referral and I am so thankful that this client chose me to document this time. It can be a very tough decision picking the…

Michelle + Kyle

Before I begin talking about the gorgeous wedding below, I first want to talk about my decision to make this wedding my last. Over the past 5 years I have shot about 3 weddings a year on average. Very part time but very exciting nonetheless. I LOVE WEDDINGS! I love shooting them too. I have learned so much and there were definite growing pains…

Moorpark Lifestyle Photographer – Grayson 15 Months Old

This family is one I adore and with another shoot coming up in October, I cannot believe that I am so behind on blogging. This is one of 2 shoots of Grayson that has yet to be blogged, but, instead of complaing about my procrastination, I will just move on and talk about this shoot. This was our final shoot of Grayson’s baby’s first…

Thousand Oaks Family Photographer – The Sutton Family

Oh man, I don’t think I have had a shoot with as many pictures that I love as I have with this shoot. It’s no surprise as to why. Gorgeous family, gorgeous house, gorgeous light, mother is a photographer therefore is natural and comfortable, and it was just an overall relaxing shoot. All lifestyle and perfect. I was even able to put together a…

Ventura County Family Photographer – The Capra Family

I was thrilled to have been chosen for this adorable family’s photos again. This little doll of a child is just amazing. She has so much energy and is always in action, which for a photographer, is the best. She is full of sweetness too. Her parents are also so sweet and play with her so much. That is all I can hope for…

Newbury Park Family Photographer – Three Amazing Kids

Here are some kids that I am in awe over. They are AMAZING! I know this family through my daughter Amelie’s school and what lucky people we are to know them. Not only are they the nicest family, but when my daughter Amelie gets together with Dominic (the brother in the plaid) they are like two peas in a pod. Amelie is more on…

Changes and Growth and What Matters Most

I have entered year 4 of this business and I am finding more about what it is that I want to give rather than what I want to receive. The number one thing that I want to give, is to give clients what they want. Through that, I have learned that I am not the right fit for every client, and through that, I…

Los Angeles Wedding Photographer – Nadia + Dan

This is a LOOOOOONNNNGGG post because it is LOOOOOONNNG overdue. I have been trying to post this for days. I think my blog hates me and I REALLY hope these pictures load properly. This is from my brother’s wedding in June. Typically I wouldn’t share SO MANY IMAGES, but I am sharing due to the fact that friends and family have been patiently waiting…
