I’m back! Things on the blog have been awfully quiet (for over a year, oops!), but it has been anything but that in real life. While my website got a little dusty, I’ve been busy capturing moments for incredible families and brands—and today I decided to break the hiatus with a very special session featuring my favorite photography duo, The Rhoads.

As a mother of a daughter who gravitates toward all things frilly and fanciful, Little Minis has been a household name around these parts for ages—so let's just say that photographing their recent super limited edition collection was right smack in my wheelhouse.

New season, new blog post! I thought it fitting to honor the first day of fall with an array of photos from a recent Jenni Kayne shoot with my favorite floral friends, Kristen and Brandi of Moon Canyon.

Last month, our family braved the heat of the California high desert and took a little trip to Palm Springs thanks to family-friendly vacation rental company, Kid & Coe, who generously hosted us at their East Sonora Residence.

I first heard the name Shiva Rose almost two years ago from more than a few friends who swore by the brand's magical oils, creams, lotions and potions—and quite honestly, I didn't realize that the beauty line was the namesake of an equally magical woman who resides in the Santa Monica Mountains in a house that can only be described as the Narnia of SoCal.

On a recent overcast, sleepy Monday morning, I had the opportunity to hang with and photograph Canyon Coffee founders Ally Walsh and Casey Wojtalewicz for Parachute Home, and the combination of their energy as a go-getting couple and the delicious cup of joe they poured for me was the perfect kickstart to my week.

"After an afternoon of dancing to ‪Erykah Badu and sipping on crisp white wine, we all left smiling."

One of my favorite job perks of being an editorial photographer is the chance to meet and connect with creatives of all types, and last week afforded me the opportunity to work with the woman behind a studio/brand that I've long admired after seeing her recognizable work while photographing homes throughout Los Angeles.

After a bit of radio silence (turns out raising two humans is a full-time job!), I wanted to come back to my blog with a bang—and this Dôen Journal shoot with the radiant Narelle felt like a great reason to reinstate my session sharing.

Putting together a baby book is something I have yet to do for my firstborn (now four-and-a-half years old)—but just shortly after the birth of Cecelia in April, Artifact Uprising released their gorgeous new "Story of You" photo journals and generously sent me one of the first copies.

Ever since Cecelia was born, she's been bundled against me in my Solly Baby wrap and it's really been the antidote to her colicky tendencies.

Last weekend marked my first official gig after taking a bit of time to welcome our second little one, and how appropriate that I had the opportunity to photograph a baby shower!

I've been meaning to share this Venice family session for a while, but now truly couldn't be a better time.

After a four-hour stretch of sleep last night, I was ready to conquer the world today, so I decided to use my newfound energy to snap a few pics of the girls' shared room* and post them here for you to enjoy!

Taking on a shoot just two weeks after having a baby wasn't exactly my plan, but when given an opportunity to work with Los Angeles-based artist and designer Beatrice Valenzuela, you all but forget the fact that you're in the midst of a newborn haze and you jump on said opportunity.

I woke up today to see that my last shoot before welcoming Cece was posted on Dôen's Journal, and the excitement was enough to temporarily shake me from my fog and bring back recent memories from an incredibly special afternoon in the Hollywood Hills with Dôen's own Phoebe Dean, the radiant Paloma Jonas and her delicious son Bowie Banjo.

Greetings from the newborn haze! I'll keep this short and sweet because I've got a bundle in my arms who also happens to be short and sweet.

Easter has always been my favorite holiday next to Christmas—and I admit that I just love the commercial aspect of it all.

Our move to LA fourteen months ago was marked by countless firsts, some of the most meaningful of which are my first friends and collaborators.

I've long admired the work of designer Erin Fetherston—she's been a fashion fixture for over a decade!—so photographing her serene West Hollywood home felt like a dream, especially after spending an entire afternoon amid such a stunning light and neutral palette!
