John, Laura and Gabi ~ Family Photography

John, Laura and Gabi 

met me at Barnsdall Park in Hollywood on one of the last days of June.

John and Laura's family is so beautiful, happy and easy going, 
love and joy are palpable when you are around them.

See for yourselves ~

You might recognize Gabi from one of my earlier posts.
This little girl is incredibly smart and sweet, and such a beauty too!

Yana Turned 5! ~ Los Angeles Children Photography

Last month, I photographed my friend's daughter's 5th Birthday Party.  

This little Princess soaked up every second of the celebration, 

radiating pure joy ~ just look at her!

Remember Maritza, the glowing new mommy-to-be from this post?   

Baby Jaelle entered this world on March 18, 2010, and I was so excited when Maritza and her husband Peter asked me to photograph the baby and the family.  I met Peter, Maritza, Beija and Jaelle and their home a couple of weeks ago.  Everyone was just wonderful, especially Jaelle, and I had the hardest time picking my favorites :-)   

Thank you Maritza and Peter!  I hope you enjoy the photos :-)
