I’m still in my twenties. So think it’s HIGHLY unfair that I’m already starting to feel old. I mean, come one. I haven’t even technically had a grey hair yet. And I stopped dying my hair over two years ago so I would know if one showed up. And yet, somehow, I’m getting bombarded with...

:: mckenzie : musician headshots & portraits ::
I had a crazy awesome time working with this gorgeous little number known as McKenzie! It’s quite possible the last time I’d seen McKenzie, she wasn’t even in double digits on her age, so seeing her as a grown woman pursuing a career in the music industry and releasing a demo is sort of mind-boggling...

“Laughter is the closest distance between two people.” :: Victor Borge ::
I know starting a blog off with a quote is sort of like starting off a graduation speech with Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” (aka “The Road Less Traveled”) or something, but stay with me here for a minute people. I came...

You know how sometimes you start a project and you THINK it’s small? You think to yourself, “psssshhhhawwww! I got this!” and then you get like 1/3rd of the way in – just enough that you really really can’t turn back – and you tell yourself “what the eff were you thinking?!?”? Yeah. That’s me...
:: it pays to have a gorgeous business partner… ::
Sometimes I get wacky ideas. Like when I’m driving along Plum Cyn Rd in Saugus and see fields COVERED in lupines which are practically begging me to use them in a photo shoot. Fortunately for me, my album designer and Post Chicks business partner doesn’t even bat an eyelash when I give her a call...
:: sneak peeks & “not me” monday ::
Has it been a week? Seriously? I thought I blogged like 2 days ago, but realized when I opened all this up that it had literally been a week already. Blog fail on me. But lest you think I was enjoying some lovely spring break getaway these past 7 days (that is most...
:: bob & sandy : santa clarita portraits & headshots ::
It’s not the first time I’ve heard it. “We haven’t had any photos taken together since our wedding!” And unless you’ve been married for less than 5 years, this is something a die-hard creative like me shudders at. When you’re talking 15, 20, 25+ years? Oh man. This is not cool. Like stirrup pants and...
:: dave : musician headshots ::
Sometimes I have to remind myself that not everyone knows my background. It’s like, because I classified myself as a musician for so long (and still do when no one’s looking…), I forget that I’m not really in that category anymore. Or at least that people who know me now might not have every known...
:: sherri & matt : CELEBRATE LOVE ::
She’s a photographer and still kind of new to LA. He reminds me of Jack Black (or maybe Dane Cook) and plays the guitar. And their love story started 1 year and 4 months ago…
I say it every. single. time. I work with another photographer, but miraculously, in the nearly 5 years of professional shooting...

I’ll be honest, I’ve never done this before, but I’m looking forward to working with couples of all shapes and sized to CELEBRATE LOVE through photography! Not married? Just dating?
