The first of several engagement sessions we have been working on in no particular order! Margie’s Mom was sweet enough to remember us from a wedding we did awhile back and recommended us! A quick meeting at the Los Angeles Central Market and we were sold and in love with this couple! I particularly love the colors and happiness that seem everywhere in this shoot! Enjoy!
Margie & John
Michelle & David
I’ll try to be more diligent in my postings as we return with this wonderful wedding! We have so many cool things to show you, but it seems like I’m fighting a losing battle with time. How is it already July? Hope everyone is staying cool and enjoying the warm weather. I promise it will not be Halloween the next time we post!
Giving Back
For the past few years I have been teaching a introductory photography class to GATE students at Zoe’s school. It’s a way of introducing photography to students, but it’s also a way I can give back to my community. The kids enjoy the program tremendously and I try to teach the technical aspects as well as how to tap into their creative energy and how they can pursue a career in photography. This semester I added a class to demonstrate how to take environmental portraits. During this exercise the students helped find the perfect light, backgrounds and chose the styling for their peers based on their personalities! We wrapped the class up with a Pizza party and we hopefully will add a post processing class after spring break! Their photos will be displayed at an upcoming school event, but here are a few faces of my students!

The Christmas Card that Never Was
Anyone that visits our home is immediately shocked at the lack of photos on the wall! It’s not that we don’t document our family, it’s just we get so busy with other people’s photos that we tend to neglect our family memories! This year we did some photos for our friends Yvett and Eric of SoCal Dj’s. Eric has a great eye and offered to take some photos of us during the session! Naturally we decided to do some Christmas cards with the photos, unfortunately due to the holiday craziness and a cold that got all of us, the cards never came to fruition. Marlene is now threatening to send them out as Valentine’s Day cards. So here are some of our favorites along with a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We promise to have more photos up in the house the next time you come over!
Happy New Year!
may 2011 bring you happiness and joy//we are happy to call you friends//
