Michelle and Nick's Wedding

Michelle and Nick got married at the beautiful Adamson House in Malibu, CA. Here are just a few of my favorties from the wedding day.

Zoe's Bat Mitzvah

Zoe's Bat Mitzvah ceremony was wonderful and her lunch celebration afterward at the Surf And Sand in Laguna Beach was a lot of fun for her family and all the guests. The videographer - Scott @ familyflix.com - put together this awesome photo & video montage, check it out!

Amabel and Godfrey - Engagement Session

Amabel and Godfrey had their engagement session at the Donald Trump National Gold Course in Rancho Palos Verdes. It had some great walking paths and a beautiful view of the ocean. I had a great time getting to know this fun and stylish couple!










All the best wishes to the beautiful couple!

Michelle and Nick - Engagement Session

Michelle and Nick had their engagement session along the water of the beautiful Marina del Rey, close to where they live. It was a fun afternoon and turned out to be a gorgeous sunset! These two make a lovely couple and had a lot of great candid moments.











I love the shots under the pier! Michelle and Nick are looking forward to a beautiful July wedding in Malibu.

Arthur's 35th Birthday Party

Arthur and Karina threw a fabulous 80's themed party in honor of Arthur's 35th birthday. They celebrated with friends and family at the beautiful Romanov Restaurant and Lounge in Studio City. The theme was a lot of fun and everyone came dressed to impress!

These are a few pages from their photo book... Each page is custom made to capture the story of the event.






Best wishes for another great year!

Opportune & Sam

Opportune and Sam have an anniversary coming up and to take some fun photos in their honor we went to Kenneth Hahn Park in Culver City. They were a lot of fun, very stylish, and we got some great shots. We started out in the picnic area, made our way to the Japanese Tea Garden, and finally looped around the beautiful, blue lake and waterfalls.











Cheers to the fabulous couple!

Do good anyway.

The Paradoxical Commandments
by Kent M Keith

I read these words of wisdom while waiting in line at a bagel shop in Brentwood. It was such an unexpected and cool place to see this clever piece of art.


1. People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered. Love them anyway.

2. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway.

3. If you are successful you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.

4. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

5. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.

6. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway.

7. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

8. What you spend years building can be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.

9. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway.

10. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.

Lauren and John's Engagement Shoot

For their engagement shoot, Lauren and John took me to the beautiful Santa Barbara Botanical Garden, where they were engaged. Unfortunately, the recent fires in Santa Barbara reached several parts of the botanical garden, so some of the paths were closed off. But what we did see was lush and vibrant wildlife. I got to know this very sweet couple a little bit better. As you'll see, they share a lot of smiles and laughter together.







(Here's the laugh I told you about!)







Wedding photos are soon to come!
