This time of year is a natural cause for reflection and gratitude… and I love that. As I look back on 2009, I can’t help but feel incredibly thankful for all of those who brought an element of added joy to my life and showed such positive support.

I wish you all a wonderful holiday season filled with the simplest joys of life. Can’t wait to see you in 2010!

because dogs are people too..

i love photographing this family. not only because Julie and Paul are a couple of the nicest people ever, but i completely relate to the huge-cannot-be-measured-kind-of-love they have for their pups. we met last year when i photographed them at runyon canyon (a favorite hang out for Hollywood dogs and an awesome hiking spot for people, too).

this year, we decided to have their session at their pool to document their hilariously crazy dogs, Jake and Violet, jumping in the water. i was totally up for the challenge! actually, it turned out the only challenge was keeping myself from jumping in with them! if only i had underwater camera gear to capture their underwater cuteness… maybe someday.

Violet, the little sister, always has to have Jake’s toys, perfectly illustrated here:

i love this jumping series..

Violet’s puttin’ on the brakes.. she is hysterical!

here are the kids a bit more tired out than when i arrived..

and i love these last few.. i can just hear them saying “c’mon guys, come back and play!”

thanks again, Julie and Paul, for such a fun and unique photography session! i hope you enjoy your sneak peek as much as i enjoyed posting it!

be inspired:

I was so excited to get this request to take photographs of this family at Runyon Canyon. Not only because Runyon Canyon is one of my favorite places in LA… but i loved the idea of capturing this couple with their furry kids. Thanks again for such a fun morning!

Unconditional Love

My very best friend approached me several months ago with an idea to present her parents with a special photography session for her immediate family. Many conversations and lots of brainstorming later, we decided that we should go all out and do a weekend documentary project at their family cottage up north in Michigan. The main goal is to create an amazing hard cover book telling the story of their family’s “Unconditional Love” (our working title.) I can not even begin to express my excitement for this project… to create such a unique and soulful body of work for their family. It will be a wonderful experience to document a weekend’s worth of adventures and the complex and intertwining relationships of 8 adults, 2 children, 2 dogs, and a cat at their “home away from home.”

I decided to make a handmade book as the gift certificate in order to express all of my thoughts and information I hoped to share. This small project revived so much of my love for making books of all types, and now I really can’t wait to work on designing their professionally printed fine art photography book! I will post images from their session late in the summer, so check back!

Here’s some pictures of the handmade gift certificate booklet. It was presented to their family last weekend on her mom’s 60th birthday and even though I wasn’t there to experience the joy, I received an incredibly positive response. I am so excited!

P.S. Congrats to my mini-session winners!
