Moving to a new city to make it in a new industry can be incredibly difficult.  It’s new & exciting, but it’s incredibly scary & beyond daunting.  This week actually marks the six year anniversary of my own move to Los Angeles. It was such a great move for me and I’m so happy [...]

  Brooke & Steven lived just blocks from each other.  He probably stood behind her at the grocery store, and she likely sat behind him at a stop light.  But it took Match.com to introduce them… don’t you love the internet! And the perfect match, they are!  Brooke is so incredibly kind and Steven takes [...]

  Last Saturday it was approximately one million degrees in the valley.  Seriously.  Gross, hot, sweaty.  Somehow Southern California skipped right over spring and headed into the middle of summer. I was so worried about this engagement session… it’s real hard to be fun and carefree when you’re disgustingly hot.  Not a good look! But [...]

  Some couples are so perfectly in tune with each other.  They’re just comfortable.  Comfortable being with each other. Miriam & Jake have that.   They ebb & flow together.  They make each other laugh.   And they look absolutely blissful when cuddled up to one another. Miriam & Jake flew down from Seattle for their engagement [...]

  It’s been rainy, cold and just downright gross in Los Angeles recently.  For a place known for its cloudless skies and perfect temperatures, it’s been, well, a little difficult.  But I’m so thankful that all of this has been happening while I could be cuddled up in front of a fireplace in my living [...]

  I don’t know what it is about couples named Jessica & Josh.  They are kind, hilarious, gorgeous, incredibly fun and have a propensity toward the English language.  They are the most perfect of clients and I think we are just meant to be.  My last Jessica & Josh have become the closest of friends, [...]

  There’s something about red lipstick that’s so, well, amazing. So sultry & powerful & ladylike. I wish I could wear it and look as amazing as Lorraine does.  It suits her so well, like she should be wearing it every single day.   And pretty much the same with Erik.  Not the lipstick, but the [...]
