Goldfarb Rivera Family Portraits – Los Angeles Family Photographer

Maggie — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:38:59 +0000

I had a great time shooting this family! I loved the age range of the kids. It was fun (and challenging) to get to shoot a toddler and a teenager at the same time. We shot at their Grandparent’s gorgeous home in Hollywood, which offered us a variety of beautiful backdrops for their images.

They are such a good looking family! Each of the kids were amazing models and so beautiful!

The oldest is mom’s from her previous marriage, and I was so happy that we got to include her dad in the session as well!

The kids were all so fun together! I could have shot them all day!

That last one is my favorite! And theirs too; they’ve ordered it in a large wall portrait! I can’t wait to see it in a large print!

Thanks Goldfarb Riveras for inviting me to capture your beautiful family!

Oh Extended Family Portraits – Los Angeles Family Photographer

Maggie — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:40:14 +0000

You may remember this family from Monica & Richie’s baby shower, which I posted a few weeks ago. Instead of newborn portraits Monica asked me to shoot her whole family while everyone was together for the holidays!

The session included grandparents, three sisters, two husbands (one wasn’t in town) and four kids including two babies who are just a couple months apart! It was a lot of people to shoot, but I had a great time doing it! This family was so much fun to be around and they are all gorgeous! I hope to be able to shoot them all for years to come!

Newborn Anderson – Ventura Newborn Photographer

Maggie — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:00:14 +0000

I love this family! Mom and I went to college together and I’ve been shooting them since they were pregnant with Anderson’s big sister Audrey! And I was honored to shoot Audrey’s newborn, six-month, and one-year portraits!

I was thrilled to get to once again shoot their growing family in December when Anderson was born! He makes the perfect addition to their sweet little family.

Such a sweet family! I’m excited to get to shoot Anderson and his big sister Audrey as they grow up together!

Four for Friday: Teaching and Saying Goodbye

Maggie — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:34:35 +0000

1. Just THREE TWO spots left for next weekend’s Get Cozy with Your Camera Workshop! Register before they’re gone!

2. I’m also available for private lessons and workshops! I taught a private lesson earlier this week with one of my former workshop students. She was at the point where her photo skills were surpassing her technical knowledge. She was shooting in Aperture Priority, but wasn’t getting the images she wanted. Although she was a little nervous about it, it was definitely time for her to start shooting in full Manual mode! After spending a few hours going over everything with her she really got it! Now she just needs to practice! I can’t wait to see how she does!

3. I’ve booked a photographer whose work I really admire who I’m “internet friends” with to shoot my Maternity Portraits. She does some gorgeous maternity work! I can’t wait to finally meet her in person and have her shoot my giant pregnant belly! Check out her some of her Maternity Portraits HERE.

Monica & Richie’s Baby Shower – Los Angeles Event Photographer

Maggie — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:27:25 +0000

Back in November I shot Monica & Richie’s Baby Shower. It was my favorite kind of shower, a casual evening event with some friends and no baby shower games! No offense to those of you who like all the silly games played at baby showers, I’m happy to shoot those kind of showers too, but those games are just not my style.

Monica & Richie’s Shower was just my taste, a casual event celebrating the upcoming arrival of their baby girl! Who, by the way, arrived a few weeks early on the same day we had their Maternity Portraits scheduled! At least they have these photos since we weren’t able to shoot the Maternity session!

The baby here is Monica’s new niece Avery! The cousins are only about two months apart!

This shower did include one very essential element for a baby shower! Delicious and pretty desserts!

More from this family, including the new baby Emily, will be coming soon!

My Big Beautiful Pregnant Belly!

Maggie — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 01:29:38 +0000

I’m now 27 Weeks! I’m at the start of my third trimester and I’m getting huge! I love maternity photography and I plan to have some done when I’m a little closer to my due date. For now I took a few self-portraits to share with you!

Oh and if you want a session before the summer you should book now! I have only a handful of session spots open before I take some maternity leave, starting March 18th until June.

Get Cozy with your Camera – Registration Now Open!

Maggie — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:21:04 +0000

If you got a brand new DSLR for Christmas or made a resolution to finally learn to use the one you have instead of just using it as a very expensive Point-and-Shoot, I’ve got the class for you!

I had a lot of fun teaching my How to Shoot Your Kids! workshops last year, but I found that many of my students had a lot of questions beyond shooting their kids, and I had a lot of inquiries from people who really just wanted to learn to use the fancy camera they spent so much money on. So for 2012 I’m introducing a new workshop for everyone!

You’ll Learn

All About Your Camera – What all those settings mean and when to use them
How to Shoot in Manual Mode – All the technical stuff, ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture & More
The Building Blocks of a Great Photo – Lighting, Location, Composition, Perspective, and Mood
How to Get the Photo you Want – the posed, the candid, the detail shot
And soooo much more!

Lunch will be provided and, as always, everyone will be getting a very special bonus for attending!

DETAILS:

When: Saturday January 28th, 11am-6pm
Where: Los Angeles, CA – San Fernando Valley (specific location TBA)
Who: Anyone with a DSLR Camera
How Much: $95
