I Succumb….

February 7th, 2012:   Remember a few months back when I was able to borrow the Canon 100mm Macro IS and shoot a few weddings with it?  Well, it went on sale and Felicia and I couldn’t resist…. Now we can see the world REALLY close up. In other news, Felicia’s mother is coming to [...]

Crosstown Rivalry with Mirza + Anthony

February 2nd, 2012: Mirza went to UCLA and Anthony went to USC, but when they met six years ago they didn’t let the standard school rivalry get in the way of getting together.  They both love their Alma mater though, so when it came time to plan their engagement session they instantly knew they wanted [...]

Pinhole Fun @ Griffith Park

January 30th, 2012: I love all things photography and a few weeks ago while trolling through the clearance bin at Bel-Air Camera in Westwood I stumbled across a pinhole lens for my Canon cameras for $1.  It is essentially a Canon body cap with a pin sized hole in it, creating a lens similar to [...]

Meghan + Josh : San Diego Engagement Session

January 24th, 2012: Not too long ago, I was just explaining to someone why the movie industry moved to Hollywood: because, unlike New York, Southern California has awesome weather where you could make movies all year round (sunlight = film exposure). The same wonderful climate here also means that Felicia and I rarely have to [...]

Anna + James: Santa Monica Engagement

January 13th, 2012: Anna and James booked us a few months back to capture their wedding next summer and after a busy holiday season we were happy to meet up with them again for our first engagement shoot of the year.  James grew up in Santa Monica so our first location was Douglas Park, a [...]

Whitson + Juna – Los Angeles Twilight

January 9th, 2012: On Christmas Eve, I was in my Dad’s backyard, drowsy from a food coma and was being coerced into playing yet another game of croquet, when my phone rang. It was Michelle, whose engagement pictures we shot in the Nevadan desert and the glitz of The Strip in Vegas. Her best friend, [...]

Shooting for Fun

January 4th, 2012: Last week I got a Facebook message from Randy (who I hiked the Lost Coast with in 2009) and he was coming into town and wanted to spend an afternoon taking some photos, hanging out and grabbing a beer.  I was quick to accept and we met up down by Manhattan Beach [...]

2011: That Went Fast…

January 2nd, 2012: Holy Crap. Where the hell did that year go?!?! Felicia and I have been non-stop shooting, editing, and traveling for the last eight months, and then, all the sudden I am sitting having a beer on New Years Eve (4 minutes until midnight) and I realized 2011 was over.  I looked at [...]

5th Annual Holiday Mischief Making

December 19th, 2011: Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without making sure we got put on the naughty list (or at least the moderate-troublemaking list), so for our 5th year straight we rallied the Santa’s and headed off to Pasadena for another evening of Holiday celebrations.  As we’ve done for the past half decade, we drank slightly [...]

Placerita Maternity Session with Jessica + Nathan

December 15th 2011: We first met Jessica when she was just a few months pregnant at her sister Hellen’s wedding in the summer. Fast forward a few months, and she was ready for her maternity pictures. Well, maternity and paternity pictures. Hey, Dads contribute to the baby-making process too, so we made sure both parents [...]
