love looks beautiful…..

If you’re here, you're either a beautiful couple in love, a fellow artist, a wonderful vendor, a friend, or a family member.  Thank you so much for finding us and Marlene and I would love to welcome you all as our family!  We like to think our images epitomize the crazy emotions love brings out in all of us!  But, that’s not say we don’t have fun.  We really don’t take ourselves very seriously, but we do take our art seriously.  We have created this space not only to share our most current work, but also to give you a glimpse of who we are as a husband, a wife, and a family.  Have fun, look around, and leave some comments for us!  If you’re ready to talk and be a part of our world, call or email us!  By the way,  Zoë and Ray say hi!!

Jenna & Wayhowe

Downtown Los Angeles has been undergoing a dramatic change over the last few years, and for me no where is that more true than in the Arts District.  Ten years ago when I shared a studio loft at 1st and Vignes, little else was there except abandoned buildings and industrial businesses.  Now it’s a vibrant...

While the girls were camping in San Pedro, Ray and I headed down to San Diego to spend a wonderful afternoon with Megan and Andrew.  After catching a few waves (literally) we sought higher ground, so we hit up an open field I spotted on drive down.  Needless to say Megan and Andrew’s love was...
