Empire Destructive

Empire Destructive provides gear and clothing to extreme sports enthusiasts. They hired me to take some photos for their new websites home page. Eat your heart out guys! Imagine the many male photographer's out there that would have loved to have been in my position that day.

There was a lot of testosterone on the set that day, but I managed to hold my own. HA! Truth be told, the Empire Destructive crew were all in attendance, and I must say that they were amazing to work with. The guys were all so helpful and accommodating. We had a few jokesters (Mike Hildebrand, owner of E.D.) on the set too, which kept us all laughing. And the models were fantastic...what great attitudes. It was very cold that day, and they never once complained. Mike treated us all to a great dinner afterwards...good times. I am looking forward to working with E.D. again, anytime, anywhere! Bring it on!

Nautica Malibu Triathlon

I had the honor of photographing the Nautica Malibu Triathlon for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles again for the second year. There was plenty of excitement, as Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey were amongst the many athletes that entered this race and raised money for charity. The downside was trying to work alongside the brutal paparazzi! Arghh!!

Jennifer Lopez finished the race in 2 hours, 23 minutes and 28 seconds. It was quite sweet to see her husband, Marc Anthony, cheer her on at every moment. By the way, she raised a whopping $127,000.00 for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Woohoo!

Here's a little sneak peek (more to come).

All He Wants For Christmas Is His Two Front Teeth

LA KING, PATRICK O'SULLIVAN CAN CERTAINLY RELATE TO THIS BOY'S CHRISTMAS WISH.

Merry Christmas everybody! All of the kids at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles had a wonderful Christmas celebration with the LA Kings. The team came to the hospital to spend quality time with the children, playing ball, signing autographs, taking pictures and creating wonderful craft keepsakes with them.

I wish you Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year!
