Meet Kamisha, Joe & Paul

What a BEAUTIFUL family! I know Kamisha and her family through my church, and was so excited when she asked me to do their Family/Pregnancy Shoot. We headed down to Seal Beach for some shots by the pier, and we didn't stop there... we were in the playground, on the beach, the grass, and even by the giant tractors that were there for construction. They were so relaxed and natural, they made my job a breeze!










As a special way to remember her pregnancy, Kamisha got this intricate Henna design on her hand and belly. I absolutely LOVED the design and think its such an awesome way to celebrate the beauty of a pregnant woman.

Help-Portrait

Hi everyone! I just found out about a great event/movement for photographers to give back and want to spread the word about: Help-Portrait

"Help-Portrait is a movement of photographers who are using their time, equipment and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate this holiday season." The Orange County group is just starting to collaborate, please let Jan know if you want to join. We'll be going out and shooting December 12th- Save the Date!

We are also looking for makeup artist that will donate their time and talent to making this day extra special.

A couple months ago, I helped organize a similar event for some families in Women & Children Shelters and Homeless Shelters in Long Beach, called Portraits in the Park. I want to give a big thanks to the five other photographers that helped out:

Jennifer Owens, Nick Yutaka, James Bennett, Travis Wheeland, and Justin Koerner.

Thanks again you guys! Hope to see you at Help-Portrait!
