A sneak peek of my maternity photoshoot in Southern California.

Today I am home here in Yuma, Arizona and my little man is feeling under the weather, so it's momma's homemade chicken soup to the rescue!  This recipe was passed down to me from a very good friend in New York who lovingly called this soup "Jewish Penicillin".  It was a recipe passed down to her by her Jewish grandmother from the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.  This recipe has traveled with me through many states and cities over the years and the taste and aroma

When Amanda Gail of Yuma United Mixed Martial Arts originally contacted me for her newborn photos, I figured it was going to be another typical studio newborn session. You know the posed sessions, with pretty props that usually land baby wrapped in scarves and placed in a basket? Well, not this time. Amanda wanted something unique, gritty and real.

I knew exactly what I wanted to capture and hope it gives anyone wanting to try their food an inside look of the expe

Danielle came to me wanting to capture a moment in time that she knows doesn't last very long.  I decided to ask her a few questions about her breastfeeding journey that we would love to share with you. Regina: How do you feel about breastfeeding? Danielle: I love breastfeeding. I think its one of the ultimate things you can do to bond with your child. Its a gorgeous intimate relationship between a mother and child that should be cherished. R: What were some things that hel

There is nothing I love more than when a client respects my art enough to give me full carte blanche to create something timeless, elegant and impressive for them. Some of my greatest work stems from these sessions by forcing me to stretch past my comfort zone and create something magnificent, new and stunning. Christina did just this and here are a few of my favorite results from our session together.
