This is my favorite time of the year! the few months leading upto Christmas when many of my clients are after the perfect picture to go into the perfect Christmas card. We have both, my calendar is filling and I have almost finished my new line of cards for the holiday season. Check out one of my favorites for this year.

Its always great to photograph such a loving family, the parents were adorable and the kids had so much character and spunk. I have to say that their property was so inspiring, it offered so many incredible photo-ops. I mean look at those old cars, the second I saw them I had an image in mind, tell me if you can pick my favorite. I just loved, loved, loved this shoot! Thank You Kirk family for letting me capture these moments with you.

NOTE: Those of you that have shoot coming up with me take a moment and look around your home and property. Look at the things that you share with your family. Something that ties you to the place you live and love and the people you share that space with. I want you guys to think outside of the box here - bring me into spaces and scenes in your life that connect you. I cant wait until our shoot!

Whats not to love - chandeliers hanging over the streets, a Vegas style water show, art deco door ways, and the whole place to ourselves, I am talking about the Americana at Brand in Glendale. Understated elegance made for the perfect setting for a delightful family.

Even though it was very early in the morning Perry (the birthday boy) was ready to go. Hes custom made Etsy shop bow tie had “cute” written all over it. These guys stepped out of a jcrew catalog and the images turned out amazing.
