The only thing better than an adorable dog is four of them. Pinch me because I couldn’t ask for a better job. The sun was still shining in California when I met up with Mary and her *beyond cute* gang of golden retrievers and a maltese, Mickey, Layla, Hurley and Gunther. We had a great time bribing the pups with treats in exchange for a sweet smile. I adore so many of their images from their family and pet photography session. Here are just a few of my favorites - enjoy!

Jill and Darrell and their adorable french bulldog Walter, are building some beautiful things together and I couldn’t be happier to have captured this adorable trio. Here are just a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

There is no replacement for a natural smile and a candid, happy moment. The Bavelis boys made it so easy to capture those authentic shots. After meeting at the Bonphotage studio and playing with balloons and Christmas tree ornaments, Theo, Joanne, their two adorable boys and I headed over to Olive park. The children took turns jumping from one step to the next and giving each other sweet hugs for the camera in between. This family was just such a joy to have in front of my lens. Here are just a few of my favorites from their session. Enjoy.

Happy Monday! What better way to start the week than with a jungle-themed first birthday party?! This sweet party for Mark's first birthday took place at La Mirage Restaurant, was designed by Yanni Design Studio and photographed by yours truly, Bonphotage. I loved all of the bright colors and adorable animal fur hats that the children took home with them. Every detail was accounted for, from animal themed cake pops to colorful gummy worms.
