I’m going to be out of the office, learning & meeting & perhaps imbibing in Vegas until Wednesday! I’ll be attending WPPI with about 10,000 other photographers.   I promise to return smarter, funner & in need of a quick nap. 
For emergencies, please give me a call at 310.498.8284.  I’ll be returning all emails on Thursday [...]

It’s funny, Downtown LA is just a quick trip down the 101 for me, and I’ve never shot there before.  The fabric district & I are getting pretty tight.  And I have a deep-seeded love affair with the flower mart.  But I’ve never had the opportunity to shoot there before.  So, when Elisa & Eli [...]

To say that I’m OBSESSED with the work that Carissa of JL Designs & Events does would be a massive understatement.  Her work is breathtakingly beautiful.  Stunning.  Without a detail overlooked.  Absolute perfection.   And her Valentine’s Day Collection is amazing. 
She’s teamed up with My Sweet & Saucy to create a pop up shop just for [...]

I like to be good at stuff.  Well, I don’t think you’ll meet many people who like to be bad at stuff.  But I like to be really good at anything I do.  Anything.  I have a hard time doing something halfway or taking the shortcuts.  The last few years I’ve put all of my [...]

There’s something incredibly adorable about a new family.  So many changes and milestones.  So much love and laughter.  It makes me grin from ear to ear!
Craig, Kelly & Mia are one of those insanely adorable families.  Mia just hit the nine month mark.  She’s standing and laughing and learning so much everyday.  Her four tiny [...]

Candice has one of those laugh.  Contagious.  You can’t help but double over laughing when she throws her head back.  And when Jared is the instigator, she laughs bigger.  You can see that they just get each other.  They play together, and then, in an instant, are cuddly & kissing.  Super adorable.  They took the [...]

I love vineyards.  There is something so intriguing about the vines.  Rows & rows of vines.  Thinking about the grapes that they grow and the wine those grapes will produce.   And in the winter they were incredible.  Bare.  Such nice symmetrical rows where each piece is a knotty mess. 
Before we even arrived, I knew I [...]

A few months ago, while drinking a bottle of wine with some good friends, Sonoma came to mind.  And it became absolutely essential that we go to there.  Soon.  I have been looking forward to this trip for months.  I was so excited I couldn’t sleep.  Insane excited.  Four couples, an AHHHMazing house in Healdsburg [...]

Today has been one of those days.  The days that we knew would happen, but vowed to love each other through.  For better or for worse.  One of those days where nothing happens the way it should, when systems fail & collapsing on the couch with a bucket of ice cream seems to be the [...]
