Happy Father’s Day
This year marks our very first Father’s Day in our house. For this special occasion, the twins and I wanted to create something super awesome for Daddy so we compiled some of our favorite shots from the many photo shoots we have done and put them together in a 5×5 album. I LOVE giving albums as gifts. They are so much fun to put together and they are a great way to start a collection of memories.
Headshots: Following Your Dreams
One of the many reasons why I love photographing actors is because they take action to follow their dreams. They’re hopeful, positive, ambitious and inspiring. This kind of energy is infectious and I am always thrilled when I get to be a part of the process. It is especially exciting to work with actors who have decided to start pursuing their dreams later in life.
Meet Jeff Newton. Jeff is an actor here in California. As the first person in his family to go to college, acting was not considered an “appropriate” career choice. Instead, Jeff got married, started a family, and went to work in the finance world. One night, while out to dinner with his wife, she asked him what he wanted to do. Jeff told her that he wanted to act. His wife was extremely supportive towards his decision mentally, emotionally, and financially. So Jeff began the process and has kept himself open to any and all possibilities. He is drawn to the stage where he can choose the pieces he wants to create and work on through acting and eventually writing and directing.
The bottom line is that it is NEVER too late to follow your dreams. So many times our fears stop us dead in our tracks. According to Jeff, there is no turning back now. He can’t imagine doing anything else. I can’t imagine life without my photography. Are you living your life like there is no turning back? Do you want to make a change? DO IT!! Take a chance and say yes to your dreams!
Baby Amory
Recently we packed up the twins and jet-setted across the country to be there when the newest addition to our immediate family arrived. Just 3 days into our trip, my sister gave birth to baby Amory, her third child, and we were all over the moon for her. She is a little slice of heaven and I am so glad we got to meet her in the first few days of her life. Here she is, just three days old. She’s such a natural in front of the camera! 
Just in time for the Holidays
My husband and I are over the moon with the arrivals of our boy/girl twins, Frances and Henry. They were born on November 20 at 3:21am (Frances) and at 3:54am (Henry). Frances weighed 6lbs. 12oz. and Henry weighed 6lbs. 15oz. Pretty big babies for twins! We were very thankful that they were born so big as it meant they were in good health and did not have to spend any time in the NICU.
Today is extra special as we are celebrating two events: the twins’ one month birthday and the 15th anniversary of my husband’s mother’s death. Polly, whose real name was Frances until she legally changed it, would have loved to have met the twins and even though she can’t physically be here to hold them and give them sweet kisses, we know, wherever she may be, she is sending them loads of love and keeping a watchful eye. We are thinking of you too Polly!
