Los Angeles is known for its golden sunshine and vibrant creative energy, and this past September, I had the privilege of capturing that magic during a portrait session with the talented children’s book author, Jennifer Rothberg.
Jennifer, a storyteller who brings imagination to life through her words, wanted portraits that showcased her personality and profession. The goal was to create images that reflected her warmth, creativity, and love for storytelling—all while embracing the sunny charm of Los Angeles.
The Setting: Sunshine and Stories in Los Angeles
We chose an outdoor location that embodied the spirit of Jennifer’s work: bright, playful, and inviting. The late-summer sunshine provided the perfect natural lighting, giving every shot a golden glow. A mix of greenery and urban backdrops added texture to the portraits, creating a blend of professional and approachable tones.
The Session: Creativity Meets Collaboration
Jennifer and I worked together to bring her vision to life. As a children’s author, she wanted portraits that felt authentic and connected with her audience—parents, children, and educators alike. Her wardrobe featured vibrant colors and soft textures, creating a playful yet professional look.
During the session, Jennifer’s passion for storytelling came through in every frame. From her thoughtful expressions to her lively laugh, we captured the essence of an author who truly loves what she does.
