One of my favorite beach communities in Los Angeles is definitely Manhattan Beach. The wide sandy beach is always clean, never crowded and LOTS of places to eat. A perfect place to take pictures of couples and then have a nice meal. Since I am in Huntington Beach, Manhattan is a great half-way point for my clients that live in the far reaches of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. This is Steve and Aida. You’ll see how cute they are – the entire time they were having so much fun and were SO loving . . .

When I photograph engagement pictures in Manhattan Beach I like to start in the streets before we head down to the beach.

See what I mean when I say the beaches are not crowded? . . . SO great . . .

Good job you guys!!!


I am excited about doing the wedding photography at Steve and Aida’s event next July at the United Armenian Congregational Church in Los Angeles.

I have never met a parent who has too many pictures of their baby. Babies are so fascinating and wonderful, and they grow up VERY quickly. In the following photographs, see the amazing transormation of little Lourdes Jules (LJ) from newborn to 1 year. The first picture was actually taken on Day 1 at the hospital . . .

Here is 2 months . . .

5 months . . .

10 months . . . (Wow!!)

and finally 1 year with Grandma . . .

Consider the importance of professionally documenting the 1st year of your baby’s life!
