Giggles and Grins was founded in Malibu, California, the creation of longtime best friends, Leigh Bortz and Vicki Levin . Leigh, a mother of three children and four dogs, and Vicki, mother of two children and three dogs, spent years developing and honing their skills photographing their kids and their pets, always to rave reviews from excited (and no doubt biased) family members. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion, and the portfolio of photographs and subjects grew larger and more diverse. As word of their skills spread like wildfire throughout the metropolis of Malibu (population of 13,000 at last count), Leigh and Vicki found themselves being asked to take pictures of other people’s kids, pets, houses, parties, functions and families – quite a contrast to having to beg their own children to stand still for another shoot! And, before you knew it, and quite unintentionally, Giggles and Grins was born.
