VENICE BEACH, CALIFORNIA

Little Austin, with his big and fluffy cheeks, is turning one this month! As part of his big birthday bash, Paula and Denny wanted a birthday cake-smash session. So during Halloween, before all the houses even opened their doors to trick-or-treaters, we met up at Venice Pier so Austin could wreak havoc on a very delicious cake.

With the sun setting behind him, Austin never looked back once he got a taste of The Cake.

Happy birthday, Austin! Thank you for having me as your family portrait photographer!

Swati and Nick

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA

After getting married in paradise (is Hawaii anything else?) this past summer, Nick and Swati wanted to take their celebration to the next level – by having a backyard reception for friends and family who couldn’t make it overseas. It was an intimate gathering, taking place a Southern California fall evening. The neighborhood was pitch dark, with only the sprinkles of light from Nick and Swati’s celebrating lighting the air. Swati looked stunning in her her red and gold Indian attire. And Nick looked so handsome in his!

Congratulations, and wishes of everlasting love to the newlyweds! Thank you for having me as your events photographer!

The first time I saw Parker, he was only a few days old (see his newborn portrait session here!. I joked to his parents, Nicole and Jeremy, as I photographed his first year birthday party, that 1-year-old little Parker looks SO different than his newborn self, and they completely agreed!

The theme of the party, as you can probably tell when you scroll down, is car racing. I adore all the creative details of the event – traffic light brownies, doughnut spare tires, Chex Mix nuts and bolts. Even his presents mainly consisted of cars! Such a boy, haha. Yet, even though there were plenty of toys for the little guests to play with (especially cars), what became a huge hit was the pool of ice out in the balcony. Love it.

Happy birthday, little Parker!
