greetings from sunny (and foggy) los angeles, ca


Hi, I'm heather. I like taking pictures. I take a lot of them. I stay up way too late. I wake up with my kids way too early (for me). Though slowly I'm learning that sleep is good.

I love photographing newborns, toddlers, kids (I've got two of my own), families, pets...you name it! Large groups and weddings make me way too nervous, but I'd be happy to refer you to other photographers in the area.

I love to hear your comments, so feel free to add to my blog by posting. Having a hard time remembering "umami?" Well, I wanted a name that would be easy to remember, spell and find, but apparently I did none of that, so if you'd like to get emails when I post, just add your email to the "subscribe here" box... you'll be the first to find out when I'll be offering mini sessions and other specials!

have a happy day... heather

a playdate at the park - pacific palisades photographer

Last week Kaylie had a playdate with one of her boyfriends Bo. Kaylie is quite the social butterfly, so I imagine this is only the beginning of me taking her on chaperoned dates. When Bo and Kaylie saw each other at the park, they shouted each others' names and then ran with open arms for a mega hug. Well, Bo is a boy version of Kaylie - sturdy, fun, with a solid head - he tackled Kaylie with a warm embrace. Kaylie thought was fun until she hit the gravel road.

Anyway, all recovered the two chased each other around, I mean... we all hiked to this lovely meadow. On the way there, Kaylie picked something up off the ground and held it up to me, "Mommy, what's this?" Oh lord. I grabbed Kaylie by the wrist and shook it until she let go of the flattened road-kill mouse that she was holding by its stiff tail.

A shot from my iphone (note said mouse under Bo's shoe):




Here are a couple more shots from our morning outing.
