Vanessa & Rick were married on an amazingly beautiful day in September at Rancho de las Flores in Somis, CA. Your Image Botanical Design did an exceptional job on the flowers, decor and details. I loved the romantic feel of their intimate outdoor garden wedding. Rick had a crush on Vanessa for a long time before he gathered enough courage to ask her out. Good thing he did they make a great couple!

Lindsay and Michael’s beautiful summer wedding took place at Heritage Park in Dana Point, CA. Lindsay’s mother Maureen did an amazing job on the flowers and decor for the backyard reception. Enjoy!

I am moving to a great big studio near downtown Los Angeles. It is very exciting. I will be sure to share new photos soon.

Priscilla and Kevin had a beach wedding in front of The Sunset Restaurant in Malibu, CA. It is always so nice to shoot at the beach - especially when I have such great subjects. Thank you so much for including me in your day!

Colleen and Graves had an amazingly beautiful engagement party at the Pasadena Hunt Club in Pasadena, CA. Jacob Maarse Flowers did such a unique and elegant job with all of the summer flowers. Best wishes on your upcoming nuptials!

I met some new friends at The Highland Park Skatepark for a few fun images.

Carolyn and David had their wedding at the Beach House at the Hotel Metropole on Catalina Island. The wedding was expertly executed by Cathy from An Event Two Be. After the ceremony we went to The Historic Casino Building. A very nice doorman let us in for a few photographs.

Amanda and Tom had an intimate beach wedding in Hamilton Cove on Catalina Island. Cathy from An Event Two Be did a great job on the planning and the details of the day.

My super nice friend Lisa and her husband Alnis are expecting a baby in a couple of months. I stopped by their house for a pregnancy portrait session. Thank you for the opportunity! I can not wait until I can take photographs of the baby once she is out in the world.

Cindy and Jake had a wonderful summer wedding at Rancho de las Flores in Somis, CA. I love that she picked the puffiest dress she could find! It looked great on her.

On my fathers day trip to Northern California I also had the opportunity to meet up with Tina and Corey at McKinley Park in Sacramento for a really fun engagement shoot. They are getting married on Catalina in February 2009.

I had the opportunity to stop by San Francisco to shoot an engagement session with Roseangelea & Kane while on my way to Sacramento for Fathers Day. We met at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. A great place for a fun session. They are getting married in September at the Catalina Country Club.

My very creative and talented friend Kelly Berg at Arte Styling contacted me to shoot an environmental portrait of her at her home in San Mateo, CA.

Kelly is a successful interior designer, color consultant and style expert. The home she shares with her husband had many fantastic locations for the portrait. We have worked together on many different photo assignments - usually involving food, entertaining and interiors. It was really fun to have her in front of the camera!
