Mike + Iris in the Blazing Sun

July 22nd, 2011: It was hot. Really hot. So hot that I at one point during the outdoor afternoon photo shoot I tried to talk to Iris and my mouth produced no sounds, only a comical puff of dust and evaporated spit.  I had to work for a couple minutes just to produce the saliva to tell [...]

Erin + Danny | LACMA Engagement Session

July 14th, 2011: We returned from NYC/D.C. at 2am on Saturday morning to find my sister, brother-in-law and my two nieces sleeping on our small living room floor – not that this was unexpected, just crowded.  Madalyn (my 9 year old niece) had advanced to the National level gymnastics competition and the three day event [...]

Daniel + Scherrie | San Diego Wedding

July 11th, 2011: Daniel is one of my oldest and best friends, I have known him for about 20 years – he was one of my Groomsmen in Singapore and took part in our ceremony.   He met Scherrie a few years ago while working in the Bay area and they instantly knew they were [...]

Mr. Delicious

July 8th, 2011: For the last half a year now, I’ve heard Felicia utter the words “Mr Delicious” many, many times over. She would go “awwwwww!!” and coo and go “Oh my god, Rob, you HAVE to see this!” as she dragged me towards the computer. “Mr Delicious” is none other than the little fella [...]

Bev + Sly | Annapolis MD

July 1st 2011: Sometime last year, I received a call from an unfamiliar number while driving along PCH before an engagement shoot. I remember pulling over to take the call, and was surprised to learn that it was a call from Annapolis, Maryland. Beverly was referred to us by her friends Jennifer & Neil – [...]

New York

June 27th, 2011: Felicia and I just arrived back to Burbank after 4 days in D.C. and 5 in New York – during which time we managed to shoot a wedding and 4 other assorted sessions.  I am excited about getting some of those pictures up, but I am currently buried under 200GB of photos, [...]

Ultra Busy D.C.

June 20th, 2011: We are about to head from Washington D.C. to New York after a super busy 4 days here – the final count ended up being 1 wedding, 1 engagement session, two family sessions, and barely any time for sightseeing.  Although the weather was sweatily reminiscent of Singapore and the traffic awful, Felicia [...]

Walking Out The Door

June 15th, 2011 We are about to walk out the door to catch the red eye for a east coast wedding and engagement shoot, but I thought I would drop a few pictures from the last few days of weddings.  Daniel and Scherrie (first two images) got married in San Diego, while Christine and Scott [...]

Andrea + John | Santa Monica

June 14th, 2011: Late last Thursday Felicia and I made our way to an exceptionally windy Santa Monica pier to shoot Andrea and John’s engagement session.  John and Andrea had already scoped it out a few weeks back and came ready with an assortment of location ideas and clothing – ready for just about anything! [...]

Jo + Red | Middle Ranch

May 23rd, 2011: Jo and Red got married at Middle Ranch, a wedding full of handmade details that would make any DIY-er proud. Felicia was especially intrigued by Jo’s use of a ‘Silhouette’ cutter  - a gadget like a printer, but instead of printing, it has a blade that cuts whatever shapes/words you want. I suspect [...]
