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! :-)

  • Kristina P · Posted July 13, 2010 at 7:40 am · Link

    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

Anyone who has been on my website or blog knows this family…. They are growing by four feet in just a few weeks when their twins arrive! A baby boy and a baby girl. I couldn’t ask for better, more loving cousins who have welcomed me into their lives. I cannot wait to meet the twins who are already so loved and will be absolutely beautiful!

We did a mixture of indoor and outdoor portraits and made it a family affair~ enjoy!

Did I mention that I can’t wait for these babies?!

What a lucky family to have you to document this pregnancy and what a lucky photographer to get to work with such beautiful subjects. I hope we get to “meet” the babies when they arrive, too. Seriously, so touching and intimate and beautiful.

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:

    Big congratulations, you sooooo deserve it!!
    Love the photos….if you ever decide to do a tutorial on how you get such amazing tones, count me in. :) I could spend hours every day just staring at your work!

    WhooHOOO!!! Way to go Mindy. I bought my copy of #10 the day it was available. Haven’t had time to peek at it yet — C’mon weekend! I love, love, LOVE your beautiful work.

    Congratulations, Mindy – and thoroughly well deserved! I love your cousins’ pictures – they are some of the most beautiful and expressive little girls I have ever seen! Love the giggles and scrunched up face in the last one :)

    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!!!
