I am so happy I had a chance to photograph the dress rehearsal of the Nutcracker by Media City Ballet Company at the Alex theater. It was a magical experience on so many levels! Beautiful setting, wonderful choreography, very talented and so sweet dancers, and of course, a touch of magic! You really need to see it for yourself!

If you are one of the dancers or a parent, e-mail me and I’ll let you know how and when you can see the rest of the images.

I photographed him a few months ago, when he was a little baby, and now he is one! Happy Birthday!

A couple of children I photographed last week.

Just a favorite from a beach in Santa Barbara.

I really loved photographing this beautiful young lady today. Thank you, Amara, for choosing me as your photographer!

And one for your mom

Enjoy your sneak peak!

What can be more fun than blowing bubbles? Catching them, of course! They also make for a wonderful photo opportunity - even photographer’s children forget about the camera and act like themselves!

Today I got a chance to photograph these charming twins. They were absolutely adorable, and just have a look at those eyes!

This is one of my favorite types of images - the one that captured so much more than the way people look. What can be more beautiful than a Mommy with her baby?

This family session wouldn’t be complete without a photo with Daddy:

Last weekend I had a chance to photograph “An Evening of Khachaturian: The Composer and His Ballets” by Media City Ballet at the Alex Theater. It was a wonderful show and I really enjoyed it! A few images from Gayane:
