After what has seemed like a ridiculously long winter, I think that Spring is finally upon us!! I couldn’t be more excited for warm, beautiful weather and it is the perfect time to update your family photographs. E-mail me today to reserve your date!

This is the 2nd time I have had the privilege of photographing 9 year old Ivy. The day was running a bit late so we were struggling with lack of light at the end but all-in-all I think we got some great stuff! Although, I was super bummed to realize that all of the files had not transferred from my camera to computer so I lost the last set up we did. It was SUPER cute. I’ll just have to go back out to CA again soon and try again 
The up-side is that pretty much any set-up you do with Ivy is a super cute one.
Catch Ivy in the new Old Navy commercial with Joan Rivers and Mario Cantone. Pretty exciting!!!
Thanks for coming out Ivy and Amy!! See you again soon!
I am traveling to Southern California for a few shoots next week and decided to add a day of mini-sessions for child models interested in updating their head shots. The scheduled date is June 18th. Please inquire now to grab a spot!!
I promise that one day I will get caught up on my Australia/New Zealand blog posts! The images below were taken on a day of adventure out in the city of Melbourne with my dear friend, Rachel Devine and her beautiful family. I absolutely adore this city. So many interesting things to see and do and very easy to get around. I wish I lived somewhere like that. We took the train from their little suburb into the CBD and then walked to a cafe where I had the yummiest hot chocolate (and most creatively decorated I might add). The kids all had a treat very popular amongst Aussie kids known as a “babyccino”(a cup of steamed milk, foam and sprinkle of cinnamon). I swear I do not know why we have not picked up on this in the states. Although – now that I just typed that – I googled babyccino and found that it is becoming all the rage with NYC kids and families so I guess it is only a matter of time before it shows up all over.
After we finished our little treats we stepped outside and into the coolest alley way where Rachel I and both just had to take some photos! We even managed to get a super fun family shot that was later used for their holiday card!
We really did have a great day with lots of fond memories to look back on. Love you guys. Thanks for sharing your city with me
Stay tuned for another blog post full of images of our special day in the city with just Rachel’s oldest daughter, Gemma. xo
My sweet little nephew, Keegan, turned a whole 3 weeks old yesterday. I can’t believe it has already been 3 weeks. When I went to visit the other day and saw he was wearing this precious outfit that I brought him from New Zealand I just had to snap some photos of him. At the rate he is growing, he won’t be wearing it much longer. I guess I need to make another trip to buy more. I leave on Thursday for CA and will be gone for three weeks. So sad that this guy will be practically grown by the time I get back. Slow down, buddy!!!!
Enjoy!!
Yesterday I watched this half hour video. It needs to be watched. It needs to be talked about. It needs to be shared. This man, Joseph Kony, must be stopped.

All children deserve to feel safe, happy and loved. They deserve a childhood in which they are encouraged, supported and free to be themselves.
We can make a difference. Raise awareness.
Keegan Oliver – Day 4.
On the first full day of my visit with Deb Schwedhelm and family I was really itching to take some photos of her sweet kids. So that afternoon, after the kids got home from school, we took them down to a small stretch of beach. We were blessed with the most beautiful pastel light. So super yummy!! We really got some great images! Enjoy!
Stay tuned for more images from my trip to Tampa.
This family, belonging to my amazing friend and fellow photographer Deb Schwedhelm, are five of my very favorite people. I have been enjoying a wonderful week with them at their home in Tampa, FL and we decided to go out one afternoon so I could capture a few photos for them. We had such a great time even though it was windy and pretty cold out. Her kids are always such troopers!
I adore this family and I sincerely hope that these images have captured the adoration they share for one another. Thank you guys for always making me feel so loved and welcome. Already counting down the days until next time.
Please stay tuned for more images from my visit.
On this day, we traveled with my friend Rachel Devine and her family to celebrate Rachel’s birthday. Carrie, Britt and I wanted to get out of the city and really experience some of Australia’s awesome beauty. They took us to Sorrento which is on the Mornington Pennisula. I had not seen Rachel’s 3 kiddos for over 2 years so I was beyond excited to get to cuddle them and get them in front of my camera. Her oldest, Gemma, and I have always had a special bond and it was so awesome to be reunited with my little buddy so I just had to add these 2 shots that Rachel captured of us. I will cherish them forever. <3
