& hearts {los angeles family photographer}

September 8, 2010

Jen came to me as a fellow mom at my daughter’s school and booked a session for her and her daughter.  I knew right away I would love it.  Four year olds are sweet, and four year olds with their mama are even sweeter.  :)  We’d originally made plans for the beach, but after being handed a dreary overcast September day (What!? Thanks a lot, California.), we opted for the new fabulous field location.  And boy am I glad we did.

Thank you Jen and Ashley for allowing me to photograph your love for one another.  You’ve reminded me that I need to hire someone to photograph myself and Claire sometimes before she starts driving.  The two of you are truly beautiful.  :)  xo.

Oh wow! What a stunning session! The cuddly shots of mom and daughter just melt my heart! And I love their outfits, great job, mama. That location is fabulous….the orange flowers are to die for. But your talent is in drawing people out in such a beautiful way…great job!

I just can not decide who is hotter – the mom or the daughter :) Wonderful captures, great location, and emotions captured are priceless.

They are all so beautiful, but the one of them kissing made me tear up. I would LOVE to have an image of me and Jasper like that.

Speaking of which, we are coming to LA next week…mini session trade?

Wow, these are the perfect Mommy/Daughter pictures! My favorite is that second shot of them sitting in the grass. Love their expressions in that one:)

the last two of the mom and daughter (looking at each other and then kissing) melted me. Gorgeous.

Just scrolling through your blog and came across this gorgeous shoot! LOVE it!
I see you are in the same area as me! If you ever want to trade, I’d love it! I need more pics with my little men. I love meeting other mom photographers. Its seems we are always behind the lens and rarely in front. I really like your style, so I’d love to work out a trade so we can be in photos with our munchkins :)
