Your Session

Your session with me will be fun! I am a silly gal, and not afraid to get a little goofy so that I can capture the real authentic you. Don’t be afraid if you hear me cackle, make barn animal sounds or sing a little ditty with your kids! This is a time to relax, have fun with your family, and let me photograph your time together.

The best kinds of photos are when you and your family are doing something you love doing together. Picture yourself in 10 years, looking back at these images…my hope is for you to say, “yes!…this was our family doing our thing!” It can be as simple as going for a walk, getting ice cream, or riding bikes, enjoying the beach, playing a game or even snuggling on your couch. I will be there with you at times giving you a bit of direction, and in other cases, just hanging back capturing your interactions.

Let’s pick a place that you and your family love…doing what you love…enjoying your home, the beach, playing at the park, making cookies in your kitchen, hiking in the mountains, or even taking a trip to your favorite ice cream shop, family farm or zoo. Feel free to be creative in your choice.

Hey there!

Hi, I'm Missy! I'm a lifestyle photographer based in Hermosa Beach, CA, capturing families, seniors, celebrations, and all the moments worth remembering.

A Bat Mitzvah tea party! 🫖🌸 Such a fun afternoon A Bat Mitzvah tea party! 🫖🌸

Such a fun afternoon celebrating Colette at The Beach House in Hermosa Beach. Fascinators, tea, sweet treats, a bracelet bar, and lots of special moments with family and friends. Loved photographing this one!

Over 10 years of photographing this family, and so Over 10 years of photographing this family, and somehow those little girls are all growing up! ❤️ This time it was the middle sister’s turn for senior photos, and of course we had to sneak in a few family shots too.

One of my favorite parts of this job is getting to watch families grow up. So grateful for them year after year. 
(And I still can’t believe we’re taking senior photos already! 🥹)

The holidays are coming faster than you think. If The holidays are coming faster than you think.

If you’re a family in Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, or Redondo Beach, you probably have “get updated family photos” on a list that’s been sitting there since last December.

Picture it: next December, your holiday card is out, and instead of a blurry phone pic from Thanksgiving, you have a beautiful photo of your family exactly as they are right now — this age, this stage, this version of your kids you’ll never get back.

That’s what today was about. Watch me working with this incredible family on the sand ~ real laughs, zero forced “say cheese” energy.

For 17 years, I’ve been photographing families right here in the South Bay, and this time of year is still my favorite.

📍 “My kids won’t cooperate” — my sessions are built around real families, not stiff posing. The magic happens in between the “perfect” shots.

📍 “We’ll do it next year” — that’s what everyone says. And next year your baby isn’t a baby anymore.

If you want photos that actually feel like your family, not stiff, not staged, just you — I’d love to be behind the camera for yours too.

Thank you to the incredibly talented @andibrookephoto for capturing and curating this beautiful video!

Kelsey! I just love a senior session that capture Kelsey!

I just love a senior session that captures who they are right now—confident and so much fun. Loved getting to know Kelsey for a session celebrating the beginning of her senior year. 

I’m currently booking senior sessions for the Class of 2027, as well as holiday family sessions for fall. 📸

If you’ve been thinking about getting on my calendar, now is a great time! Link in bio.

DID YOU KNOW? While many people know me for famil DID YOU KNOW?

While many people know me for family, senior, and event photography, I also specialize in Personal Branding Photography.

So…what exactly is personal branding?

It’s more than a headshot.

A branding session is designed to capture who you are, what you do, and what makes your business unique. These images become the face of your website, social media, marketing materials, speaking engagements, and more.

Recently, I photographed a therapist creating a new website. Instead of stiff, traditional headshots, we created a collection of warm, professional images that tell her story and help future clients feel connected before they even reach out.

Whether you’re a therapist, realtor, designer, coach, consultant, or small business owner, your photos should work as hard as you do.

Ready to elevate your brand? I’d love to help you create images that reflect the heart of your business.

Serving Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, and the greater Los Angeles area.
