My first wedding shoot of 2014 was a fake wedding! I joined my friends on set for their movie Love Arcadia, and I documented some of the awesome behind the scenes moments you can see in this blog post. But since we were filming a fake wedding, I also grabbed the “bride” and “groom” for…
Picture is up! Camera? Speed. Sound? Speed. Mark it. A Marker. ACTION! On the last day of January, we got up before the sun and headed to the gorgeous Langham Huntington in Pasadena. Call time was 7:30am, and this was day 15 of shooting for Love Arcadia. My friend Theresa had been working on this…
She’s amazing and gorgeous and would never admit it herself. On my visit to Los Angeles last month, I needed some help with office and editing tasks, and my friend Diana needed some headshots to submit to castings as an extra. It made for the perfect trade. I taught her how to do some things…
If you can shoot in a big square box, you can shoot anywhere. I told them from the beginning, the theme of today is going to be resourcefulness. We were rained in. It was our final workshop in the 4-part series, and we were supposed to do a live shoot with models and the whole…
It’s incredibly inspiring to meet and work with people who are passionate and extremely good at what they do.

Duncan is charmingly good looking, and he’s an actor and incredibly talented dancer. Spend some time with him, and you also get to see that he’s a giant goofball on the inside. Plus, have I mentioned he’s an amazing hip hop/break-dancer? Seriously. Look him up on youtube. But check out these photos first:
Even when you first meet her, you can just feel that she is living life and loving it. With a dance background, Amanda moved from Chicago out to Los Angeles to start up her acting career. She’s a wonderful person to be around, and it also doesn’t hurt that she’s amazingly hot. Well, you can…
If you’ve been following along with my blog in the past couple years, you might remember Henry krumping on the streets of San Francisco. I’ve worked with Henry a number of times here and there, and he’s always been a great person to work with and a wonderful friend. He’s on the up and up…
She’d always thought she might try acting. Her big, bold personality makes it easy to imagine her as a TV host some day. But life as a military wife brought her in a different direction. With the frequent relocation around this country and abroad, and with her priorities targeted on being a wonderful wife and…
It’s been a week since the Census 2010: Write in “Taiwanese” video debuted on YouTube, and it’s already garnered over 120,000 views. Produced by Slideshow Pictures in conjunction with at least seven Taiwanese American organizations, the public service announcement is part of a larger campaign to get Taiwanese Americans to self-identify on the US Census…
