Tirabassi Family
Families are some of my MOST favorite things to photograph. Honestly, the more the merrier!
When this mama (far right) messaged me about doing a large family session where all the adult kids (some of whom had moved away) would all be home for summer vacation, it was an immediate YES!
Grandma, her three adult kiddos, their spouses and a pile of beautiful grand babies awaited and what fun we had! It was a bit nerve wracking at first as the field we planned to shoot in had JUST been plowed (bye bye golden grasses), but we found a lovely little nature poker with trees and grasses for the must-have portrait shots. Then, we let the littles lead the way and got SO many great candids and organic moments running through dirt, setting up camp under a big tree near the hills. It was pure magic.

Ellen + Andrew
Ellen and Andrew are two sweet peas in a pod! They’re getting married up in Lake Arrowhead later this year and wanted their engagement session to reflect their love of nature and have a completely different vibe with LA’s DTLA Arts District. I love this town, we were able to hit two birds with one stone at these two neighboring locations and get so much variety! This session is one of my favorites from this past year and once you take a peek at these amazing colors I think you’ll agree :)
