I was so thrilled when Noah and his mom got in touch with me to photograph him again this year! I took their family photos last January and we had such a great time that I knew Noah’s Los Angeles portrait photography session for this year would be a blast!
When I sat down with Noah to plan the session he had this vision in his head of a vintage Hollywood style shoot at Griffith Observatory. Just a few blocks away from Hollywood Blvd, this location is such a wonderful place to visit. The architecture is gorgeous and makes for an amazing backdrop. There’s also an incredible view of Los Angeles from the roof! I couldn’t wait to shoot here!

Most people are a little nervous when the shoot starts but with a little direction, Noah owned it like a pro! A couple of passerby’s picked up on his GQ modelling skills too when they stopped us for a second to let him know he looked slick. I have to agree.

See what I mean about the architecture? Swoon. Favorite shot.
Speaking of favorites, I was flipping through the photos after the session trying to narrow down which would make the final cut and when I hit this next one I won’t lie, I did a little happy squeal. It’s in my top five faves from this session!
