For current portfolio check out Instagram!

Might move the whole website to Pixieset. Having a baby has made it crazy to update here. The ease of Instagram is great!

Summer is hot in L.A.

Statement is obvious but I have to put it out there that I’ve upped my indoor photography game ever since I was pregnant and less mobile. New LED’s, new camera, new backdrops, and new lighting techniques!

Why indoor vs outdoors?

• air condition
• privacy
• avoid sun and wind
• control the lighting condition
• looks more editorial
• quicker photo shoot to squeeze in all those looks!

Book now!

TWO more weeks to book with me before Maternity leave :)

Busy Holiday Season?

Did you get your Holiday photos booked yet? Two weekends ago I had 5 sessions in 3 days! I can’t wait to share with you my latest session which included a cheesy Holiday Card look complete with props!

Family sessions start at $250 for groups of 3 or 4 for a half an hour in 1 location with 1 outfit. You get a variety of different poises and groupings with this and tons of edited photos to share. Ask me about booking a session!

July is sizzling!

Seriously over 100 degrees right now in the Valley. It’s no joke. Please hydrate, stay cool, and if you book a photo session with me book it INDOORS 🙂

xoxo,

Update on 42.5mm and 25mm Panasonic Portrait lens for my g85!

Having both lens for shoots lately I’ve concluded that I prefer the 42.5 for headshots (85mm equivalent)! For tight spaces, events, and walking around I prefer the 25mm lens (50mm equivalent). Overall having my mirrorless micro43rds g85 has been a joy to shoot with. It’s so much lighter than my Nikon dSLR and I’m enjoying using the touchscreen viewfinder more. I haven’t quite mastered the manual focusing yet but the focus peaking on the g85 has been great to play with!

My next experiment will be using the lens for short films which I hope to co-create with my husband 🙂 I am always trying new things to keep things flowing.

Right now I’ve been enjoying the use of textured backgrounds for indoor shoots and using off camera flash for shoots. When I first starting shooting headshots over a decade ago, I played with indoor and outdoor shoots. Then for the longest time I only did outdoors. A couple of months ago I decided to pick up indoor photography again and it’s opened up that part of me again that loves to creatively play with light in a more controlled environment.

That’s it for now! Thank you to all the new clients that I’ve been meeting!

Speedlight Speedlite Strobe External Flash etc etc etc

As an artist I think it’s important to always be experimenting and trying new things out. I’m still learning new things every day as new technology and equipment gets added. Got a new external flash unit for my Panasonic g85 and it’s cute, portable, and super fun to use in my indoor studio set up! Got the Godox mini version and got some cool lighting effects when placed up high and behind the subject. I also had an led portable light in my hand for added front light. See below (lightsaber effect added in post):
