Imagine flying in from Canada, in the midst of winter, to the hot season of the beautiful mid century feeling of Palm Springs. Imagine doing that with your best friends. Imagine you rented an architectural gem for a week. I can imagine it, but I don’t really have to, I was there…and it’s quite amazing how close this little piece of heaven is to our LA city……and there are outlets on the way if I need a break….

I met Vivien and Kevin as the associate photographer for Michael Segal’s Studio, they seemed like a sweet couple, a little quiet, maybe a little shy. Vivien did say that Kevin’s family is a little crazy, but I thought she must be exaggerating…Kevin seemed so proper…OK…I was WRONG!!! and I am delighted to be so wrong….As soon as we started shooting at the Getty Museum and right away we couldn’t stop laughing, making jokes, and being silly- my cheeks were hurting by the end of the session…I can only imagine what it’s going to be like on the day of, and mostly by the end of the day of…..as we are setting up a studio, which is likely to create some buzz…..Their wedding is coming up soon, and f course, you will be kept posted…

GORRRRRGEOUS photos as always 
Shani, you’re amazing. Can’t wait to see you soon!
Becky and I had been friends since the one prenatal yoga lesson we happened to take during our first pregnancy more than 7 years ago. Wow, time flies! We were neighbors, and became fast friends- when our boys were born, two months apart we started spending lots of Starbucks runs,( more like stroller pushes..) sometimes Coffee Beans – we’d come up with brilliant ideas for baby products, and talk about sleep patterns and no sleep patterns, and feeding, and new-parents favorite subjects in the world…poop. Those were such exciting days…then we had our second child together…I had a girl, and was done. She had another boy, and I thought she was done. Two was hard enough… YA! I said it HARD! But she wasn’t. Done. That is. So befoe we knew it…. along came this beautiful little girl…Was totally worth going for number three…

I have known Liz for what seems like FOREVER!!!! ….I hadn’t seen Liz in a long long time, during which she spent some time in Amsterdam, lived in New York, and got married…. amongst others. So when she made the drive from the city to the valley to see my children who had since she last saw them, had learned, to walk, talk, pee in the potty and play computer games,… the conversation naturally led to the inevitable head shot discussion- now, I have shot some head shots in my past…but in the world of commercial head shots a photographer who named her business “DOn’t Smile Now” is not exactly who you’d call for a happy face shot, right? so we thought about it for a little and figured that it would be much more fun to shoot…for fun, and if we get a couple of head shots in there – it’s a win win for both of us. Liz – there are a couple of good COMMERCIAL HEAD SHOTS in there…they’re just not here…but these are, and I hope you love them! PS. Liz gets her bangs trimmed (in the AFTER photos) with Henry over at the cool hair salon UNCUT HAIR (which I guess is a little like Dont Smile now)
And thank you Steve Florian (fabulous photographer) for taking the camera in his own hands (and not letting me completely control the shot…)

It was hard to say good bye - to the hair
It was really hard for me to agree to get Kyle’s hair cut- I loved it long, I loved it wild, and I loved how it made him Kyle. We have been celebrating the beginning of summer with a marine hair cut that would eliminate any need to wash/dry/move out of the way and avoid any funny mops on head - like we did last year and the year before – but this time the request came in early, and was quite unavoidable as kyle left arm became useless except for moving the hair out of his eyes. Write one letter, move hair, write another later, shake head to side to move hair out of eyes…and so on, an so on…so as any good mother would, we went to get a haircut, and break my heart one snip at a time…He didn’t want a crew cut yet, and i hope he does get one in the summer as it gets AWFULLY hot out here….and admittedly – it was a couple of weeks before we got used to the new look, and until the hair got used to itself, so I present, just a bit of a change on Kyle…and when it grows a little more, it’ll be time to get it all off! (and you may have seen him on FB already, but that doesn’t count!) I ADMIT THERE’S NOT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE, BUT STILL MERITS A BLOG POST!
