Ely and John...Married!

Newlyweds Ely and John tied the knot at the beautiful Neighborhood Church located in Palos Verdes. The grounds were lush with greenery and ocean views. The celebration followed at The Portofino Hotel and Yacht Club in Redondo Beach. Ely's colors were vibrant with hot pink hues. I especially liked the guestcards...they were atop a shot glass of sorts filled with M&M's and other chocolates...yum!

Best Wishes to the Lovely Couple! Thank you for making Jennifer and I feel so welcome. It was a pleasure working with you.

Cohn & Swartzon

Super lawyer, Saar Swartzon of Cohn & Swartzon Law Corporation hired me to take photos of he and his partner, Jason Cohn. I think they enjoyed being in front of the camera. Great guys! If you need a personal injury attorney, give them a call. Their offices are located in Santa Ana, at the beautiful Xerox Building.

Lance and Kari's E-Session

Pasadena was the setting for Lance and Kari's E-Session. It was unusually hot for March, so we had to make the best of it. I even enjoyed taking a tea break with them as we sampled a variety of tasty delights.

Lance is a music manager and Kari is a singing artist. How perfect is that! Check out her website...she is sensational.

I am really looking forward to photographing their wedding next month in the beautiful Laguna Beach.

Salton Sea

The very talented designer, Kirstin Fox (of Castle Bride Couture) and I collaborated a photoshoot, using her one-of-a-kind headpieces.

During our photoshoot, we all cheated death that day...of course making the experience all the more exciting. The Salton Sea is a very odd and mysterious place, filled with characters that most of us couldn't even dream up. Because of our near death experience, we were forced to shoot at a less desirable location down the street from our location of choice. We ended up having 20 minutes to shoot the whole thing. Needless to say, while I am happy to be alive (along with the other girls), I am furious that we had next to no time to shoot. Having said that, I am pleased with the results, under the circumstances.

A note to other photographer's that wish to shoot at the Salton Sea...please bring a crowd of people with you for protection...preferably Men.
