Our friends at Kreeya have launch their new line of designers and had commissioned Vivian Sachs Photography to do all photography for their site 🙂

Boudoir – Puppy Love


Of all the boudoir sessions in preparation for the big rush on Valentine’s day, this was one of my favorites. Toby, the dog in the tie and hat, was the star of the show. He was by far one of the easiest dogs to shoot. Very well-behaved. You tell him to sit. He sits. You put a tie on him. He sits tall with a tie on him. We even put boxers on him at one point, to which the laughter was too much to bear.



Bouffant Debutante


With Beverly Hills as my backdrop, I decided to go with a Winter Parisian theme for my next shoot. The team and I decided to go with the theme of 80s mod bouffant-tressed damsel and the rest was history.

Let’s talk baby


Karen and Albert were hitched back in August 2009, so you can imagine the sheer joy I felt when I heard that they had a little one on the way. It is exciting when clients are able to share the biggest news in their lives with me and for me to be so lucky to have the opportunity to capture each milestone.


These tiny shoes were darling!








Ironically, Albert had jokingly forewarned Karen that this would be the most exciting maternity shoot. Little did we know that he was right…

As soon as they started walking on the tracks, a train was well on its way. What an unforgettable experience! It is one of those moments when you think something may happen and it actually happens.

The colors of this dress that Karen picked out really brought out that beautiful mother aura in Karen.

This has to be by far my favorite maternity shoot to date. It was not quite sunny outside… overcast to be exact… but my absolute favorite weather to shoot in. Also, I have been playing around in Lightroom a lot and have created a new treatment that I adore. Every image is simply precious and even I am mesmerized by the delicate colors and undertones in each image. Hope you liked them too!

wedding | amanda + brian


This is one of the sweetest couples I have met. It is funny because I already spotted them out at Starbucks when we met our consult well before even knowing what they looked like. Prior to meeting them face-to-face was just email correspondence as with all the clients I meet with. That day, Brian had Amanda in full embrace. I find it endearing that the same embrace Brian had Amanda in on the day of the consult was the same embrace he had on her after their beautiful wedding ceremony. Their wedding ceremony and reception was held at a private residence in Atherton, California.

Amanda and her bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning.

The navy and silver theme of the wedding was so vibrant and classy.

Pre-ceremony refreshments never looked so irresistible.


Gorgeous white cake.

Brian and his groomsmen.

The details 🙂


Amanda and the flower girl before the ceremony. Kisses and hugs all around… so precious!!!


The ring bearer before the ceremony. Isn’t he the cutest little kid you’ve ever seen?

Everyone is ready to go!





The little things like this always makes me sigh with delight. I am always so happy for couples when they find the love of their life 🙂



It’s the embrace I was talking about!

Congratulations to Amanda and Brian and cheers to more happy times!
