Family and Shabbat . Hermosa Beach photographer

The weekend of Samantha’s bat mitzvah started by celebrating Shabbat with family and friends. They hosted about 50 people right at their beautiful home in Hermosa Beach with a meal of charcuterie, bruschetta, breads and dips and salads. Of course, not one party detail was left untouched by the most talented Lili, of Market Events by Lily, who I love working with. Rabbi Toba August and Cantor Lily Blum from Temple Shalom of the South Bay officiated the ceremony, which was filled with singing, positive messages, and joy.

Extended family photographs . Kiely family . Hermosa Beach photographer

I love when clients schedule an extended family photo session. These rank way up there on my list of important things to do in your life. Especially when their are grandparents, grandkids, and cousins that travel to be together. I love how close this family is, and how the kids just loved being together.

enjoy! m

Full of joy . Jack + Maddie . Rancho Palos Verdes family photographer

It’s true…this family is genuinely full of joy! I honestly think that when you are a young teen, and you can show up to life with confidence and happiness…that there must be something right going on. And these kids do just that. These parents lead by example, and I enjoyed being a witness to this joyful awesomeness.

We had a great time at one of my favorite beaches to shoot; the light and the setting were just perfect.

enjoy! missy

Awesome backdrop, awesome family . McKenna + Kamryn . Hermosa Beach family photographer

We have a new shopping center in the city just north of us ~ The Point at Rosecrans & Sepulveda in El Segundo. It is a small, outdoor area with cute shops, restaurants, and open green space. One of the best things about this new spot are the colorful walls that grace this space, with giant flowers in bright colors. I did a few sessions here at the end of 2015, this one being a definite favorite.

It is especially cool when you have an awesome backdrop with an awesome family to photograph in front of it.

enjoy, m

I love taking pictures of people…of personalities, of love, of relationships, of connections, of giggles and of real life. Sometimes beauty takes on a bit of messiness, but in the end, you will be able to see the real and authentic love that you and your people have for one another. And that…is what matters.
