🎉 Guess who’s finally making it to Facebook? (Spoiler: It’s me. 😅)

Okay, okay—I know I’m the worst at posting. Like, if procrastination were an Olympic sport, I’d have a gold medal 🏅. But better late than never, right? And trust me, this one is worth the wait.

✨ Meet the absolutely perfect Presly Celine Muro ✨
Born on August 6th, 2024, at 8:51 AM, this little bundle of joy came into the world at 8 lbs 6 oz.

Mommy Giselle and daddy David are clearly pros already because Presley is just perfection. I had the honor of capturing her first portraits, and oh my goodness, this little one had me melting into a puddle of "aww."

So, while I’m catching up on my posting game, enjoy these photos of Baby Presley and her lovely parents! 🍼💛

P.S. If you see me post something on time, send help—I might be kidnapped by aliens. 👽

📣 Okay y’all, we’re down to 3 SPOTS LEFT for my fall mini sessions! You blink and they’re gone! 👀

✨ 2 spots in Downtown LA on Oct 27th
✨ 1 spot at Claremont Colleges on Dec 7th
✨ 0 at Peter F Schabrum Park, because those went faster than my morning coffee ☕️

Snooze, you lose! Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉 Let's make some photo magic! 📸 DM me to snag one of these before they’re history! ✨

🚨 PSA: Mini Session Madness! 🚨

✨ ONLY 10 SPOTS LEFT! ✨
That’s right, folks—42 out of 52 spots are GONE! 📸 These mini sessions are flying off the shelves faster than my morning coffee disappears! ☕

Don’t be that person who says “I’ll book later” and then ends up looking like this 😬 when you realize later is now!

👉 Book your spot before they're history! Because, once they’re gone, they’re GONE like your New Year’s resolutions! 💨

📅 Comment below and I will message you a link!

📸 Fall Mini Sessions are BACK, and they’re hotter than a PSL straight from the barista's hands! These sessions usually book faster than your mom can comment "I need this!" on every family photo you post.

👉 Spots are limited—like, seriously limited. And if history repeats itself (which it always does), they’ll be gone faster than you can say, "Wait, it’s still 80 degrees in LA?" 🫠

🍁 What you get:

A full 45 minutes of pure fall fabulousness!
10 professionally retouched high-res images for your holiday cards (or to make everyone jealous on IG)
Choice of multiple gorgeous locations (as of this posting—so act fast!)
Session fee covers up to 5 people (bring the squad, but it’s $25 per person after that)
All high-resolution images included
And the satisfaction of knowing you nailed autumn!

💵 Cost: $349
💸 $50 deposit secures your spot and goes toward the final balance!

📅 Dates are from beginning of October through mid December, pretty much every weekend!
📍 Location: Many to choose from

Act now or forever hold your peace (until next fall). Comment if you are interested, you know the algorithm and I will DM you a direct link to the booking page 🎃✨Please tag everyone you think might want a spot!!!

And remember: Fall photos are like parking spots at Trader Joe's... wait too long, and you'll be out of luck! 😅

🍂✨ Attention all families: Fall Family Mini Sessions are on the horizon! 🎃👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Let’s be real—these sessions can feel like a mini-marathon of stress, but fear not! Here’s your survival guide:

Wardrobe Wars: Dig out those fall outfits and remember, nothing says “perfect family photo” like coordinating outfits without looking like you’re auditioning for a soap opera. And yes, that means NO last-minute arguments about “who wears what.” 😅

Location, Location, Location: Start going through my website and checking for the types of locations you like... parks, with rogue squirrels... maybe a cool urban downtown or an architectural beauty like a University with kids dodging out of the way of the photos! 📸🌳

Smile Simulation: Begin practicing your “we’re totally not stressed, this is just fun” smiles. Extra practice in the mirror might help—just remember, the goal is to look like you’re enjoying every second of this organized chaos. 😁

Prepare for the great family photo adventure ahead and remember: It’s all about capturing those candid moments…like when you finally realize your toddler has been hiding in the bushes for the last 10 minutes. 🍁📅

I'll be more about these OH SO FUN sessions soon! 😂

A few months ago, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing the precious moments of Vanessa and Gary’s newest bundle of joy, Savannah Maeve. Born on March 6th, 2024, at 7:26 am, weighing 7 lbs and 6 oz, and measuring 20 inches long, she is truly a little miracle.
As a photographer and someone who loves witnessing families grow, it warms my heart to see how Vanessa and Gary have embraced the journey of parenting their second child. It’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of having two little ones, but I want to emphasize how important it is to give the same attention and love to your second baby as you did to your first.
Taking the time to celebrate and document these early moments is not just about creating memories—it’s about nurturing their self-esteem and self-worth from the very beginning. Savannah Maeve, you are so loved, and I’m honored to be a part of your story.
To all the parents out there, remember that every baby is special, and every moment is worth capturing. 💕

Just had the most amazing maternity photo session with Marina and Daved at beautiful Laguna Beach! The sky was painted with stunning colors as the sun set, creating the perfect backdrop for capturing this special moment.
Daved, a talented kickboxer and one of little Josh's oldest and dearest friends, has been part of our family group for years. We couldn't be more excited for him and Marina as they prepare to welcome baby Maeve in just about two weeks!
Their love and joy were so evident, and it was an honor to be part of this milestone in their journey. Keep an eye out for the upcoming newborn session—baby Maeve will be here soon, and I can't wait to share those precious moments with you all. Wishing Marina and Daved nothing but love and happiness as they embark on this beautiful new chapter with their little girl. 🌅💖👶

Here is my LOVE, Harper at 6 months old. I baby sat this week and Harper was teething and most of you all know what that is like... so in between bouts of crying I managed to get these adorable photos!
