Steve & Rachel ~ Union Station Engagement Session

Steve and Rachel are seriously one of my favorite couples to work with. We spent the evening in Downtown L.A. at Union Station, which is a top location pick for me. I love the style of the buildings, and I say it every time, but there’s just something so old Hollywood about it with its [...]

Patrick & Natalie Wedding @ Fess Parker’s in Santa Barbara

This Last weekend was pretty crazy. My good friend Doug came into town for a last minute vacation to L.A. It was a lot of fun, I hadn’t seen him since my wedding a year and a half ago, and it had really been too long. I had this wedding planned for a couple weeks. [...]

Caitie ~ High School Senior Portraits @ Caltech

It was a last minute portrait session. Caitie was graduating from Crescent Valley High School in La Crescenta. Her mom Sunny set up the shoot about a week before graduation… I needed to do a really quick turn-around in order to get graduation announcements out. I don’t usually do that, but I was able to [...]

Wall Portraits – When did an 8×10 become a “large” print?

Jessica – Senior Portrait Experience ~ Thousand Oaks High School ’10

I met Jessica at a Habitat for Humanity gala. She was helping out, and serving appetizers to guests. Her mom asked me to get a few images of her and her boyfriend Jesse by the nice cars… So I did. Upon spending some time with them, I came to find out that they were Seniors [...]

6 E-Sessions in One Day! – Sunset Restaurant in Malibu

For those of you who know me well, you know that I love being a part of a good cause. I stumbled upon a great opportunity: both a chance to be a part of something bigger than myself that helps a lot of great people, and also a chance to meet with 6 different engaged [...]

Ginger Beef & Thai Iced Tea

What can I say? I’m not one to give up. I tried to cook a good orange chicken last week, but the recipe was really lacking in quality. Needless to say, I didn’t make a GOOD orange chicken. It was just mediocre. Then I tried a beef and broccoli dish that turned out very poorly. [...]

Eli – 1 month Portraits

Meet Eli. Eli is my little cousin Gillian’s brand new baby. Born on the Ides of March, at almost 10 pounds. He’s huge. Which isn’t surprising to me; his dad, Ricky, is over 6 feet tall. The other reason that I knew Eli was going to be large was because EVERY time that Gillian had [...]

Recipe Day – Mediocre Orange Chicken

I’m just gonna start off by saying that I’m completely bummed about how poorly this recipe turned out. Really disappointed. I’m a big fan of Chinese food. I grew up as a little kid, going to Chines food restaurants and learned how to use chopsticks. My parents would always go to a place called Unam [...]

Jessica – Habitat for Humanity Builders Ball

I have a good friend Robert who is one of the strongest advocates that I know for helping out the underprivileged. Every time I talk to him, he’s telling me about a a different project he’s working on. But there is one specific corporation on which I’ve worked with him multiple times: Habitat for Humanity. [...]

Jessica – High School Senior Portraits in Tucson

It’s an exciting time to be starting out on a new venture. As I wrote before, the High School Senior Portrait market is pretty much completely un-tapped out here in Los Angeles. And since our high school seniors deserve to have a great portrait, and a great experience with the photos and photographer, I’ve decided [...]

Jeth – Senior Portraits – Chatsworth 2010

You know how they say that no-one is actually FROM Los Angeles? I’m one of the few that can actually say that I was born and raised in L.A. I grew up in Woodland Hills in the San Fernando Valley. When I was 10 my family moved to Tucson Arizona. I lived there until I [...]

Tanner – January Arlington Heights Visit

I, for some reason, enjoy traveling. I’m not just talking about traveling to some foreign country, or even visiting family. I’m talking about sitting on airplanes, waiting for hours or even sleeping in airports, traveling by train, or even by car or ship. I can’t explain it, but I have always enjoyed it. Sarah and [...]

Web Traffic Part 1: Why your web traffic sucks.

I’ve talked to a lot of photographers, and no matter how great a photographer, or person they are, there always seems to be one problem: getting and maintaining traffic to their website. Now I know that anyone can go the easy way, and buy advertising through google, but what if there was a way that [...]

Ava @ the Beach

One of the perks of being a Los Angeles family portrait photographer is all the great scenery around town. I can often be seen at the beaches or parks in and around Los Angeles photographing subjects. Now I don’t want to make it sound like just because of a great setting, great portraits will follow. [...]

Kaden’s Photo-shoot at the Beach

I had a mini photo-shoot session with a few other families a couple months ago at the beach. It was a beautiful day, we got some great shots, but Kaden wasn’t having a very good day. From the start he somehow got sand in his mouth and eyes, and was really fussy, and tired. I [...]

Robert & Laura – Wedding at Union Station Los Angeles

This past weekend I shot a wedding as a second photographer for Juan Turcios, a great Los Angeles based Wedding Photographer. Robert and Laura got married at the beautiful Union Station in Los Angeles. Union Station is perfect for hosting weddings and other events, it’s full of character and incredible architecture. We started out the [...]

Family portraits at Trippet Ranch

It may seem to you that Trippet Ranch is my favorite places to go for family portraits. I wouldn’t be lying if I said that weren’t true. It’s such a beautiful park. Trees, hiking, grass, and TONS of photo opportunities. I got an email From Donna a week or so ago asking for family portraits. [...]

Loren & Rachel – Engagement session at the Block @ Orange: Starbucks!

Loren and I are both photographers… Wedding photographers in fact! We are both members of Pictage(my order fulfillment company.) He and Rachel are having their coffee themed wedding in December and needed some engagement photos. Our original plan was to meet at the Lucky Strike bowling alley in the Block @ Orange(about a half hour [...]
