I first met Brianna at a wedding on New Year’s Eve (in Pasadena, California). She was one of the most camera-aware kids I’ve ever met. Friends of her family later asked me if I thought she had any chance of being a child model. I told them that I’d first have to see her in front of my camera. And that leads us to today; she certainly didn’t disappoint! I’ve photographed many child models over the years and Brianna was one the most professional I’ve ever seen–on her first time out! For those photographers out there who are looking for a child model, drop me a line and I’ll put you together with her folks.

Monica brought her daughter Monet by my Los Angeles studio today for a few headshots. Apparently she’s going to be famous. She’s up for a role in a commercial so Monica needed something to send along to an agent. While they were here, I went ahead and photographed her son Isaiah as well. And not passing up a moment for a little family portrait photography, I talked Monica into stepping in for a few.

I’ve been Alex’s portrait photographer for almost five years so it was great to see her (and her mom) this morning. They arrived at my Los Angeles studio around 9:00 a.m. for a few headshots. Anyway, here are a few photographs from today’s portrait session.
