Abdias & Yadira

Abdias is Haydee’s cousin. He and Yadira are getting married in June. I’m going to be their wedding photographer! They are both very sweet and very much in love. The day they got engaged Abdias had developed a whole scheme with photos and clues taking Yadira through where they met (church), her favorite food (ice cream) […]

Conducting Myself

Last year I was lucky enough to help produce the Fox night at the Hollywood Bowl which I mentioned here.  I took some photos of the rehearsal at Warner Bros. Eastwood scoring stage.  Well I am honored that David Newman asked to use two of my photos on his new website!    David Newman is part […]


Rebecca Take 2

I bought myself photo retouching lessons for Christmas.  I know Photoshop and I can retouch photos but I taught myself and wasnt sure if I could do better.  Well, I knew I could do better.   I wasn’t looking for lessons but I found them. I love reality TV and junk food TV and TV in […]


Holiday Happiness

Janet and Haydee asked if I could do a family holiday shoot for each of them.  They are both married and have kids. Really cute kids. So we met at Johnny Carson Park in Burbank where there were about 4 OTHER photo shoots going on at the same time! It’s a small park but there […]

Speechless

Marissa and I went out on a photo shoot this morning.   We met at Maison Martin Margiela on Little Santa Monica Blvd in Beverly Hills.   I really love the way the wind makes this building come alive.  It doesnt really translate in still photos but it definitely is a cool background.  We next went to […]


Mother’s Day

Quitting Time

Elaine

We met at the Big Pink Building on Melrose.  A location I’ve wanted to shoot for a long time.  It’s just soooo cool lookin’!   I told her to wear all black for contrast.  Little did I know she’d come with props too!   Awesome!   Fun morning and I like the pictures too.  Elaine was so fun […]


Marissa M.

I have been mourning the loss of the Mann National movie theater since they bulldozed it in 2007.  It opened in 1970 as an iconic symbol of 70’s modernism and large screen goodness.  The lot on the corner of Lindbrook and Gayley has been vacant since the theater was torn down.   I walk by the […]


Valentine

My sweet Valentine Dave got me the most beautiful flowers.  They were delivered to my office on Friday.  It was a surprise and really made me feel special.  Dave knows how to send flowers!   This is a photo of my little Valentine Didi checking out the flowers.


Weddings, Weddings, Weddings!

Last October I was honored to be asked to be the official photographer for Amber and Sean’s wedding. Of course, I had at that time only really shot FOOD but that didn’t seem to phase anyone! Amber and Sean were great subjects as were the entire wedding party and everyone who attended! The location was […]
