My friends and I love to chat. And chat and chat and chat. We love our kiddos, but they cramp our chatting style. We get caught up on each others’ lives via group texts and weekly park meet ups, but we needed a guaranteed girlfriend time, time to wear that new shirt we just bought, time to chat each others’ ears off, time to EAT. So, last year, Supper Club was born. The first Thursday of each month is sacred–you… Read more »

Things I’m loving right now (with links). 1. These gray Tom’s suede booties. So comfortable, my feet beg me to wear them. 2. This West Elm throw my dear friend Jill gifted me. 3. The matching boardshorts D & J got for Christmas. 4. Putting YL’s Thieves on my feet each day and diffusing like crazy because I just don’t have the time to get sick. 5. As I re-work and redecorate the girls’ room, I dream of creating a… Read more »

I hadn’t seen this cute little family in a while…since last year’s Valentine’s Day mini sessions, in fact! Since then, the little guy became a big brother and they’re now a sweet little family of four! I opened limited dates for fall family mini sessions, and they snagged a spot right away for the beach sessions. They came happy and ready to party, since these mini sessions move quickly. I loved their style, smiles, and I lovvvvve photographing brothers. The… Read more »

Beautiful family on a gorgeous afternoon in Laguna Beach…what more could I ask for? This is now by far my favorite beach location for sessions, whether it be maternity, family, children, you name it. I have tried and true other fave spots as well, but when my clients ask for a beach session, this is always my first suggestion. Thank you, Hartwells, for joining the HJP family this fall!  

This sweet little family’s came my way for the first time this fall, and I was SO privileged they did! The girls were a giggling bunch of cuties who listened so well and also had just enough spunk to them to make the shoot fun and true to their character. W Family, I look forward to seeing you again! <3  

I feel like I need to add a little disclaimer to this post. I’m not really a crafter, and I rarely do things the right way. This isn’t really a tutorial, it’s more like a “hey, look what I did, and you should do something like this, too.” And finally, my girls’ room is so so sooooo not finished yet, but I’m making progress. Which is what lead me to getting my craft on yesterday, and deciding midway through, “hmmm…. Read more »

Little T is as adorable as all get out. He definitely decided to give me a tough time the day of his newborn session, but he didn’t know that I always win. ;) His newborn photos reflect his parents’ love of country and motorcycle riding. Such a sweet little man. Such an adorable nursery! Loved the details in his room.
