MISS KRIS
One of my favorite things about clients I work with often (especially with bloggers since I work with them more often than most clients) are seeing how much they grow. Seeing a "final product" is one thing but seeing someone organically growing their business and brand is so interesting and inspirational to me. A blogger I work with quite often, Kristen, went through a pretty big change at the beginning of this year regarding her blog. Her blog was previously Glitter 'N Glue, a DIY blog that focused on all things glittery and fabulous. As she was always a big DIY-er (especially fashion related DIY) and he [...]
FREE! IWATOBI SWIM CLUB
I did a fun Valentine's shoot with a group of talented, half naked cosplay guys. ;) They cosplayed characters from the anime, Free! These guys seem so effortless but they worked really hard to make this cosplay successful. Some more of our Valentine set is posted on the Free Cosplay tumblr. I'm excited for the future projects and plans that we have for this cosplay (and other cosplays) and I can't wait to share them with you guys as they release!

SHOPCADE BRUNCH
While Shopcade, a personal shopping app company based in London, came to visit Los Angeles, I was able to attend and shoot their private preview brunch for the new app! They invited some local Los Angeles bloggers to chat about all things fashion and fun all while eating some delicious food. The event was held on the rooftop of the Petit Ermitage, a cute boutique hotel in West Hollywood. It was great getting to meet everyone at the event, especially those from Shopcade. —– Keep up to date & follow me on Facebook [...]
HIKARI + JEFF – STORYBOOK PROPOSAL
I will say there are very few times I am caught off guard on my shoots but this was one of them. And so the story begins... In a faraway land long, long ago... Kidding (sort of). So, my dear friend (and one of my closest makeup-artists), Hikari, wanted to buy a photoshoot for her boyfriend, Jeff, for Christmas. They have been together for 4 years and been doing much of it long distance. He was finally moving back and they haven't taken nice photos together before so she thought it would be a great gift. They came to the shoot and were so cute and easy through the whole thing. Jeff has a knac [...]
THE BAY
I went on a short (mostly work-related trip) up to the San Francisco/Bay area with my assistant/mentee, Randy. Our first stop was San Mateo area. We had a wedding to shoot and although the weather was gorgeous most of the time we were up there, we woke up on the morning of the wedding only to find that it was raining!! I was so disappointed since the original venue was outdoors and absolutely gorgeous, but thankfully Penny and Leo (the bride and groom) are awesome people and didn't let the rain spoil their fun, intimate wedding. This is the location by the outdoor spot that the wedding was supposed t [...]
