Flower Power | Los Angeles Baby Photographer

August 24, 2010

These are long overdue…. you may recognize this family from an entire gallery on my website!

Some children were more cooperative than others~ we did have lighting and “mood” challenges, and this image is a good summary of our time together:

In between those moments, there were some happy faces!

A Fly Family | Los Angeles Family Photography

July 12, 2010

 How lucky is this family to have FOUR awesome kids? They were so sweet and so much fun~ even the sleepy two year-old who wanted nothing to do with me or my camera! (He did like my puppet Dr. Evil Porkchop though)

I do realize that I just posted about 70 images. Sometimes you just have to shake it up a bit! :-)

    As a family of 6 myself I know how crazy it is to think a photographer will be able to even get one good shot, and then you think I don’t want just one, I want pictures that show my family who they are! So I give up, thinking it’s not possible and I still have yet to do a family shoot. These brought tears to my eyes because I see it’s possible with you! You captured this family wonderfully!!!! I love love love every one of these images and look forward to your blog post once again! :)

  • Kathleen · Posted July 13, 2010 at 5:42 pm · Link

Featured | Los Angeles Baby Photographer

January 20, 2010

HeI am posting to announce that I was featured in Design Aglow, a fantastic online magazine for photographers! The sneak peek of my article was posted here, and it is now available for purchase.

What good is a blog entry without photos? Here are my silly little cousins…. I can’t wait to post about them next week!

By the way, these were taken with my brand new 50mm 1.4 lens (yippee)! This is definitely distortion:

  • LIZ · Posted January 22, 2010 at 9:41 am · Link

    Congratulations Mindy!! As a Grandma, I have had the greatest pleasure viewing your photos of my Granddaughters. You seem to capture that precise moment that is so “them”. I like to stare at every little detail…their fingers, how they wrinkle their noses, their smiles being shy or bold, their looks being mischievious or naughty. There is just so much to “see” at the moment you capture them. Thanks for allowing me to be with them even though I am hundreds of miles away from them. You help to spread the love through your photography. Thanks so much!!!
