Authentic Images: Mallorie’s Portrait Session {Los Angeles Family Photographer}

If you have ever tried to photograph a child, you have probably experienced one of the following reactions:

a. cheese smile! What do I get for taking this picture?

b. I don’t want to take a picture! (throwing a tantrum in 5, 4, 3, 2)

c. they run away

d. all of the above within 10 seconds

The truth is, kids don’t hate taking pictures. What they do dislike is an adult putting a big ugly camera in their face when they are trying to live life and just be!

The key to getting authentic images of children is to give them time. Time to experience, time to trust, time to discover.. to learn, to enjoy, to love.

Mallorie, thank you for letting me into your heart.

It is one that is full of joy.

I had such a lovely time photographing this little one.

Beautiful Mama {Echo Park Maternity Photographer}

“When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown,

FAITH is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly” ~Patrick Overton

There are few things in life that are more courageous than childbrith…

It is a true act of faith that a miracle will happen, that new life will be wrapped around you.

After months of anxious waiting, those last few weeks seem like eternity.

Few things in life are more amazingly beautiful than a confident sexy pregnant mama…

The sway of her hips,

the glow of her love,

the life in her soul.

A new journey about to begin…

My Song, Daniela 8 months

I feel truly blessed to have found photography. For me, it is an extension of my thoughts, my mood, my love, my mind, my creativity. When I was five years old, I wanted to write a song. It was going to be about the sun (and rainbows, and raindrops and everything lovely a five year old thinks of). I remember feeling so frustrated because I knew what was in my heart, I knew what I wanted the song to make me  feel, but I had no idea how to express it. Closing my eyes, I would allow my inside to fill with pretty words and notes, yet it would not come out. And it never did, until I found photography.

Photography is my song. It is everything that is in my heart.

Daniela 8 months…
