Happy Mother's Day (2024) - Los Angeles Custom Portrait Photographer

Do you have a parent (or parents) that donโ€™t get what you do? Iโ€™ve gotten two.

So, for as long as Iโ€™ve been a photographer, I donโ€™t try explaining it to them.

But things changed last year. Many of my clients heard about my story in how I bit the bullet and decided to โ€œwalk the walkโ€ (Remember, Iโ€™m supposed to
prove that every woman is beautiful no matter the age?). I offered my mom the opportunity to experience the Transformational Beauty Photography in my studio.

For someone thatโ€™s deeply rooted in a different culture, giving her just enough information so she can show up and enjoy the experience was a fine dance to perform. But let me tell you, I was delighted to witness how much she was giggling in her belly from the moment that I arrived to help her pick the outfits all the way to the end when she was making faces in front of the camera.

Not many words were offered afterwards by my mom. But now, I know she gets it in what I do with my women clients and the kind of transformation (inside and out) that they experience.

For someone that was a natural beauty, sheโ€™s struggled to accept the change in her look. Iโ€™m not trying to prove that she still looks the same as she was in her 20s or 30s. I wanted her to see that she is proof that a woman is still beautiful in her 70s.

Do you know that she wore the same dress to my wedding and everyone was raving about my beautiful mom afterwards?

The other day, I ran into
this article about Isabella Rossellini - a beauty in my opinion. Considering that my momโ€™s been around the sun for a few more times than she has, Iโ€™d say momโ€™s doing no too shabby. Do you think Iโ€™ve made the case with my fine photography? ;-)

Anyways, happy Motherโ€™s Day! Enjoy it, savor it because today will never come back. I chanced upon some words that I wrote 13 years ago. I find myself enjoy reading it. I hope you do too:
Life is In the Moments, Celebrate it! Iโ€™ve got a photograph of both my mom and dad there as well.

What Would You Tell Her - Los Angeles Transformational Beauty Photographer

"I NEVER, for one moment in my life, believed I was ever going to be called beautiful". Juliana came to my studio and these are the exact words from her. Sheโ€™s held that belief for more than 6 decades.

I have a feeling that sheโ€™s not alone.

Earlier this year, I embarked on a journey of challenging myself to โ€œtransformโ€ more mature and wise women. Moreover, I want to keep an open dialogue about what contributes to what we believe of ourselves and what we are capable of in this world/lifetime and how our self-image impacts different aspects of our lives, such as relationship, career, health, etc.

To start off, would you give Juliana your authentic and genuine thought about her in this image? All feedback will be compiled and relayed to her - whether itโ€™s one word or one essay :-) :

Of Mom, For Mom, With Mom - Los Angeles Transformational Beauty Photographer

At the beginning of this year, I pledged to make more effort to photograph โ€œmatureโ€ women. In the last two months that Iโ€™ve been MIA here, I received bad news about two of them.

One was an artist that I only recently started following. It took a mere few weeks for her to go from the sudden diagnosis to meeting her eternity. The other one is currently fighting her battle that was started recently. Only two months ago, I thought she has good genes as her mom made more than 100 rounds in this world.

I know we all are going to meet our final destination one day. But whether beknownst to us or not, a generation is quietly leaving us. When that day comes, would you be happy with the memories that youโ€™ve preserved about them?

Motherโ€™s Day is coming up. While Iโ€™m sure moms will not stop being moms (or stop doing what moms do) the other 364 days of the year, it serves as a reminder to ask ourselves this question:

When was the last time that you had a photograph professionally done of your mom, for your mom and/or with your mom?

I hope the answer is satisfactory to you. As I always say, โ€œlife wonโ€™t waitโ€. Itโ€™s especially true for a certain generation. When they are gone, a generation of stories are gone.

Iโ€™d love for a chance to hear their stories and present them in fine art work that will be treasured for generations to come. Please fill out the simple form below to start the conversation:
