Erin an Tony are one of the funnest couples ever. I only met them in person a month before their wedding at Leonesse Winery, and they still felt like old friends on the day of the wedding. I just lov...
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve shot at LA’s Union Station or Chinatown, so when Annie and Chris suggested both as locations for their engagement session, I was excited. But ...
I don’t shoot a lot of family portraits. This is partly because I’m too busy with wedding work, and partly because the idea of wrangling a family with small children instills such fear in...
Kathleen and Ryan are just the cutest. I didn’t meet them in person until their engagement session and I understood almost immediately that Ryan is sarcastic and funny and sets out to embarrass...
When I met with Marianne and Scott for their initial consult, they weren’t sure they were interested in an engagement session. This happens from time to time and I don’t pressure my coupl...
Adria and Mike are two smarty-pants astronomer/astrophysicists/gen ius types who understand things my pea-sized brain will never comprehend. So, it was fitting that their engagement session take place...
Tony and Erin booked me over the phone so we didn’t actually meet until their engagement session. Whenever this happens I’m usually a little nervous before the shoot because I don’t...
Recently, the family of one of my 2011 brides (who has since become a friend) asked me to photograph the 65th wedding anniversary party they were throwing for her grandparents. I don’t normally...
I got to shoot in the Orange Circle for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and I have to say, it’s a cute little spot that’s great for photos! Jenny emailed me because she wanted some ...
I suppose it’s just the age of me and my clients, but it seems like everyone I know is having a baby! I happen to love babies, so this makes me pretty happy. What makes me happiest of all is ge...
I got to spend the afternoon with this beautiful couple at the South Coast Botanic Gardens. It was my first time there, and it was just lovely! During the entire shoot I kept doing my ‘happy ph...
It called for rain on their wedding day. And, oh, did it ever. As we navigated the Los Angeles freeway system in the pouring rain that morning, I prepared myself to find a slightly disappointed bride...
Janice and Almon are just the cutest. They’re super sweet and cool and I had so much fun hanging out with them in Silverlake and Griffith Park for their engagement session. When we were plannin...
I’ve known Heather for several years. She’s a fellow photographer and we met during a photographers’ field trip to the Salton Sea. Since then we’ve become great friends and va...
The weather couldn’t have been more lovely on Sarah and Haben’s wedding day at the Four Seasons, Westlake Village. It was fitting that such a beautiful day was being spent celebrating two...
I know I’ve said this before, but I’ll just take the risk at sounding like a broken record and say it one more time: I love my job! Watching my clients grow together as a couple, and then...
The Academy Awards are just around the corner and there’s little that I love more than an Oscars party. The fashion, the glamor, the incredibly good looking people trying their best to act humb...
Here’s part two from Joey and Andrew’s engagement session. A much different feel from part one, but just as fun!
It’s Valentine’s Day! Even though my life seemingly revolves around weddings and all things love, I don’t really put a lot of thought into this holiday. It’s a good excuse to ...
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter then you know I recently moved into a new meeting space in Pasadena. I’m sharing it with one of my favorite coordination teams, Wish Wonder Dream, and an...
As I mentioned in my previous post, I spent some time in Joshua Tree recently with some of my favorite ladies, otherwise known as The Traveling Hearts. It was an amazing time, as usual, and the perfe...
Just a quick note that I’ll be out of the office for the rest of the week, spending some quality time with several of my favorite ladies! If you’ve followed my blog for a while then you k...
I’ve never been to Brazil. Heck, I’ve barely been out of the country. But I’ve been published in Brazil (and in Australia – a country I have been to) so that makes me feel lik...
Katie and Steve were my last wedding of 2011 and they couldn’t have helped me end the year any better! Their wedding day was heartfelt and beautiful from beginning to end and I left feeling rea...
Here it is, my first post of 2012! And I think we’re starting the year off nicely with a print feature – nothin’ wrong with that! This feature is actually from last month, but it...
When I think about this past year, I start to get pretty emotional. Calling it amazing would be a serious understatement. I’ve been privileged enough to be a part of many amazing weddings this ...
Just wanted to wish you and yours a happy holiday season! We’re off to snowy (hopefully) Colorado for the next 8 days to spend Christmas with the Ryders. It’s what we do basically every C...
Marcella and David both grew up in Southern California. It’s where they met and fell in love, but when work took David to Pennsylvania, Marcella soon followed. It’s where they live now, b...
Life is unexpected. We all know this. But Emily and Perry had an extra dose of the unexpected a few months ago when they where hit by a drunk driver while riding their motorcycle. It was a terrible a...
Before I sign off for the rest of the week to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family and friends, I wanted to put up a new post of a recent engagement session that I love. I got to hang out with Janelle a...
