My flight to LAX was delayed, Natalie's nap time was off, Tsujita's ramen line was too long. I was getting restless and anxious because the sun was setting before our eyes. It was not in the stars for me to give Jane a proper photo session but what came at the perfect time was an email from her doctor, revealing the gender of baby #2. Just as I had mentally resigned all hopes, we stopped by a cute shopping plaza in Santa Monica and found ourselves at Sweet Rose Creamery. Because if all else fails, ice cream makes everything better.

Twin Peaks Family Session
"I've been here for 10 hours and I feel like I've lived a lifetime!"
How profound!
These were the words of my eleven year old nephew, Maxwell, describing his day trip to San Francisco for our photo session. He usually hates photo sessions so it was amusing and a little shocking to watch the overnight transformation.

So much to love about this session, especially Mom's impeccable styling - I think I want each outfit in my size, including baby DeeDee's romper. Thank you to the Lew family for patiently waiting for me to make a trip down to LA. It was a delight to plan, meet, and photograph you all. I am already thinking about what beautiful things we can do together next year! :)
Read MoreSan Jose Family Session // Golden Hour at the Field
This is my third year taking my sister's annual family photo, which doubles as a pampering session for my sister and her girls because I come over to do their hair and makeup beforehand. While I made sure they know how lucky they are to receive my services, I secretly love our sessions because my sister gives me full reign over the entire process. The reward of seeing my vision come to life is unmeasurable.

Getting to meet darling baby Ohana was so special, especially because I photographed her when she was still in her mommy's belly last year. I can't believe a year has gone by already! Looking forward to growing with this beautiful family.
