The Pimsaguans - Family Portrait
As a Christmas girft, my mom wanted to give our very good family friends the gift of a family portrait, so we took some pictures at a great park in Mission Viejo, Florence Joyner Olympiad Park. My mom debuted her talents as a photography assistant - she kept them smiling the whole shoot!

Shawn Anderson - Website Photos
Shawn Anderson is a highly positive, driven, motivational author and person! He has published a new book, Amicus 101: A Story About the Pursuit of Purpose and Overcoming Life's Chaos, and is building his new website: www.shawnanderson.com (where you can see many of the photos below!).
Shawn is truly enthusiastic and excited about helping others to reach their potential and gain direction in life. His mission is, "to empower 1,000,000 people to lead a more passionate and purposeful existence." He sends out a free weekly empowerment newsletter, about which you can find more information here! One quote from a recent newsletter I especially like says, "give everything you do an extra dose of your best YOU." I love that simple reminder!
It was great getting to know Shawn through a series of photoshoots, each aiming to capture one of three meaningful concepts: Possibility, Purpose, and Passion.

Purpose.
(These were taken at beautiful Marina Del Rey. It was a wonderfully calm, peaceful afternoon.)
Passion.
(This set was done along (and under!) the Santa Monica Pier just around sunset. Shawn is an avid runner: he has run a 100 mile race over 5 days and biked across the US, ocean to ocean, in 48 days.)
Possibility.
(These were taken in the hills at Mountaingate Road, Los Angeles. We wanted to capture the wide open space that conveys a feeling of fresh opportunity and possibility. The view was incredible and the fog rolled in to give it a magical quality. You'd never know we were in LA!)
I think this is an awesome post to start off the new year. As Shawn says, create a great day!

Soulfege - Band Portrait
Soulfege (pronounced 'sOl-fezh) describes themselves as an Afropolitan fusion band, blending sounds of Hip Hop, Reggae, Funk & West African Highlife. They have an awesome, up-tempo, unique sound (which you can listen to on their website).
This shoot took place on the rooftop of an apartment in North Hollywood (with only minor complaints from one of the top floor residents!). Many thanks to my friend and fellow photographer, Derek Liu, who helped out with the lighting, which came out stunningly.

Nana's Portrait
This is my grandma, Nana. We had fun doing this shoot before going out to see Wicked (which I highly recommend, it was fantastic!) to celebrate her 80th birthday. (She is very young for her age!) This was on the patio of my apartment, I love the way the diffused sun light gives her face a glow and lights up the Boganvelia in the background.
