Minis for a Cause (Los Angeles Photo Mini-Sessions)

feb2010_minis_for_haitiWhen I first heard of the crisis in Haiti all I could think was “How can help?”  A photographer friend told me about a wonderful organization called “Photographers for Haiti”. I have joined this team of photographers and will be donating proceeds from a day of mini sessions. A heartfelt thank you goes out to Kelsey Bigelow and Kristi Crosson for making this happen.
Photographers for Haiti is a collaboration of photographers across the United States who are pledging to donate proceeds from one day of mini-sessions to relief organizations to help with the destruction in Haiti.  This description and more info online at:  Photographers for Haiti

Proceeds from these mini-sessions will benefit Danita’s Children, an organization in Haiti dedicated to rescuing, loving, and caring for orphans.

Portrait mini-sessions will be held at the La Brea Tar Pits in the heart of the Miracle Mile.  Beautiful locations, natural light and a fun, relaxed session are just the right combination to capture images that reflect your child’s true spirit and personality.
The $50 session donation includes a 20-minute portrait mini-session, 10 images posted to a password-protected web gallery, and one 8×10 print.

Saturday, February 20

Contact Lisa for more information and to schedule your session – availability is limited.

Big Sister and Baby Brother (Atlanta, GA. children’s photographer-Lisa Reilly)

This session was very special to me. Big sister Ella is such a sweetie! The last time I photographed her she was just about a year old. Then I moved to California and had not seen her ( in person) since. She has grown into such a beautiful girl and is such a great big sister to Baby Loic! It was so nice to see this family again and meet their newest addition. Congratulations on your beautiful family! I hope to see you again soon.

Beautiful Morning in Malibu! (Lisa Reilly-Malibu Family Photographer)

The Family D

I had a great time working with the DeMeritt family. We met up at the home and took a short drive to the beach. What a nice way to start the morning. It is so cool to see cute kids rock-hopping at the shore and dipping toes in the surf! We brought it back home to freshen up for a (less-sandy) wardrobe change and to see this cute and fun group in their natural environment. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek of your session. More to come soon!

I had an awesome time at The Getty photographing this amazing, fun, cute couple.  I was a little nervous at first because Lori is also a photographer but after we got started I forgot all about that and just had a great time! Lori and Darrell- You rock! You two are so much fun :) We have to do this again!

Big bother Joesph and I had a great time running around finding snails and gigantic leaves and little sister Noelle has the most amazing smile…she had the biggest grins when Joesph was around. Here are some of my session favorites:
