Although this is not the usual work you see me share on here, it can be exciting to switch it up from families/maternity/newborn from time to time but especially when it means capturing a talent like Roxanne.

This Canadian beauty , Roxanne West, visited Cali earlier this month and reached out to get some lifestyle portraits done - especially since the incredible Justin Anderson was going to be beautifying her hair this visit! What a dream to capture her and all her beauty, both inside and out. We strolled the gorgeous Lido Marina Village taking in the aesthetic of all the shops & restaurants and even stopping at the local farmers market, they put on every Wednesday, for a few testers. Although Roxanne probably would not mention it, she is a master at interior design and so it was only fitting we chose a spot that vibed with so much inspiration around us. One of our favorite stops was the Honers Coffee shop. They have hands down one of the best Vanilla Iced Lattes in town and their design is mind blowing good.

It’s so neat to think Roxanne and I started off as social media friends and yet even from states away and not a lot of face to face , still are able to re-kindle our friendship in person. Love this talented hardworking lady ! It was an honor hanging with her and her sweet gal friend Danielle for the day as they experienced SoCal and took a break from the everyday stressors of motherhood/careers etc. All mammas need a few days like this to getaway and spend at the spa, hair salon and being in front of the camera!

It’s been so incredibly busy around here for us photogs trying to juggle busy season that my blog tends to be the first to suffer! I am the first to admit I put blogging on the back burner but know how important it is to keep sharing fresh content with you guys too! I wanted to start by sharing this gorgeous in-home family session in Malibu .

I had the pleasure of documenting blogger & mommy , Roxanne West, and her adorable little family visiting here from Canada! They were vacationing here with HomeAway Vacation rentals and the space we had for the day was seriously unreal! I’m talking ocean view, super kid friendly, cozy little space filled with yummy light & sea salt air! This shabby chic, ocean front beach house had panoramic views of Santa Monica and surrounding LA, large sea level deck and the most adorable built-in-wall bunkbeds! 

Not only was our space breathtaking but The West Family was a dream to photograph! For this session, I really wanted to push myself as an artist to find ways to freeze the connection between them . Lately, as an artist, I have been digging deep within myself , soul searching as an artist, pushing myself to newfound ways to capture families in their most authentic state . For this reason, during the session we did ALOT OF PLAYING. I'm talking coloring pictures, taking polaroids, bed cuddles, tickling, upside-downing, dancing in the kitchen, piggy backs kind-of-playing. I feel this type of play nurtures an environment to capture those authentoc moments , to capture those memories we all want as mommys to look back on one day.
