Pantipa & Roy – Expecting: Kenneth Hahn Park

My good friend Roxana was planning a silent auction to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and asked if I’d donate a session as a bidding item. I didn’t even have to think twice about it – heck yes! A few months after her event, I received an email from Pantipa, who said that she and her husband were having their first baby and wanted to do a maternity session. Pantipa and her husband, Roy were a few weeks away from their due date, and were just the sweetest people you could meet.

San Family – Los Angeles (Hollywood), CA

17 years – that’s about how long it’s been since Jenn and I had spent more than a few minutes in the same space. After high school, we ran into each other a scatter of times, and then when Facebook came around, we saw glimpses of the other’s life, commenting and liking each other’s posts as a way of communicating. A few months ago, she asked if I could do a maternity/family session for her and I’m so happy she did!

She has a beautiful family, made up of her hubby, Massan and super entertaining, wonderfully amiable daughter, Ava who I took to instantly; and then, of course, another little girl on the way. We spent about two hours at Barnsdall Art Park, and I think I found a new favorite spot to shoot. The weather at 11 am was gorgeous that December morning, and the warmth of such a loving family proved to be all the light I needed.
