Just imagine all the unique and creative shots you can create with her dreamy plastic lens! Not only is she lovely, she could be yours! That’s…
A couple months back, I met Sandy, a superstar blogger and etsy shop owner, through several mutual friends, and she even helped out as our assistant/second shooter at Jenny and Kevin’s Aliso Viejo wedding. I’ve been looped into Sandy’s blog world since, both as a sponsor and as a loyal follower. So when she and…
Magdy’s slightly mischievous laugh counterbalances Zaha’s reserved demeanor. We walk out to the golf course, led by the sinking sun. Zaha looks beautiful no matter the outfit– Pakistani dress or white wedding gown. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful afternoon or a more compelling sunset as the backdrop to the event. 300 friends…
We’re beginning to make a habit of this. I fly to New York, Talya hops into town from Philadelphia, and we do a shoot. By now, Talya is a pro at modeling. She somehow makes this freezing cold winter day look like an effortless, fun, sexy shoot. There is a whole different set of photos…

When it came to patching the wedding day with some last-minute errands, he hopped in the…
It already seems so distant, that feeling of jetting day to day. Over the course of sixty days I flew across the country, traveling for work and (mostly) for fun. For the first thirty days, I had a JetBlue All You Can Jet pass, which allowed me to fly as much as I wanted, wherever…

We were running around Los Angeles a couple days before Jenny & Kevin’s wedding, a group of 10 to 20 friends in town for the wedding, and it was all shopping, hanging out, and most importantly– eating. All you can eat Korean barbecue, fish tacos, more fish tacos, Taiwanese homestyle meals, and Yogurtland. And that…
What began as a chilly, frost-laden morning quickly warmed to perfection in time for the ceremony. All around were the golden tones of autumn, the impeccable green golf course, and a blue sky adorned with little artistic wisps of cloud. So in the bright sunshine, surrounded by the intimate gathering of friends and family, Gina…
