welcome to my blog!

My family & friends know that no matter where I go, I always carry a camera.

I believe that there is a story to capture in every moment...whether it is in an expression, an intimate look between a couple, a shared laugh among friends or a twinkle in the eye. Some of the most memorable photographs are the ones that are most natural, which leads to my photojournalistic approach when it comes to weddings & sessions. I love watching the day unfold. Anais Nin once said, "We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection." If only she knew that photography would allow for the same.

I am also greatly influenced by fashion photography, so a lot of this inspiration shows in my work. My background in arts & design also contributes in large part to my style and aesthetics.

My aim is to give clients a sense of who they are & what makes their relationships extraordinary, all while having a fun time doing it! Perhaps they will see me through the photographs as well: a bit of spunk, boldness, chic + fun! At the very least, clients will be able to laugh at my awesome jokes! =)

Life moves at an incredibly fast pace, so I feel incredibly lucky to be able to freeze little moments in time. I feel very blessed to do what I love & love what I do, and I hope my passion and skills for photography and design show in my work!

I would love to hear from you! Please send me an email or use the form through the contact page to tell me more about yourself & what you are seeking. I look forward to connecting with you!

mothers of reinvention event + fundraiser | beverly hills

posted in corporate, featured, party

last tuesday, specific media hired me for a book release event for “the mothers of reinvention” and fundraiser for the step-up women’s network foundation in beverly hills. the authors of the book, jennifer pate and barbara machen are hosts of “jen and barb, mom life,” an award-winning web series with more than 90 webisodes.

from the press release: in the mothers of reinvention: reclaim your identity, unleash your potential, love your life (vanguard press/perseus books group; january 2012; $15.99), jen and barb provide a radical rethinking of what it means to be a woman and a mother in today’s world. a real game-changer that defines new territory for mothers, the mothers of reinvention shares jen and barb’s discovery of a way to reclaim their identity while still maintaining their joy as mothers and wives.

at the event, celebrity chef lulu powers created the food and drink menu. celebrity co-hosts were glee’s jessalyn gilsig and ncis/brothers & sisters’ sarah jane morris. other women celebrities attending were felicity huffman (desperate housewives), jeanne tripplehorn (big love, grey gardens), garcelle beauvais (franklin & bash, models, inc, the groundlings), jennifer freeman (my wife and kids) and sally horchow (author).

a few photos are also featured on etonline.com, thedaily.com – go check them out! =)

here’s a quick glimpse of the fun and fabulous event:
