I love the cinema. I could sit and watch movies for days on end. As a matter of fact growing up I always wanted to work in film (I did briefly and that’s a whole other story) as a set designer because I am fascinated by the attention to detail that goes into creating a story. The books on a shelf behind the main character, the color of the walls of the house, the type of furniture, these things tell the true story to me and begin to peel back the layers and reveal a little more about each character. It makes the story more personal.

This is the same approach I take to my images. You can call them photographs but I think of them as so much more. I want every frame to tell a story, more importantly your story. I want to capture the subtle details that make your day about you and the things that matter most in your life. I don’t have clients, I make new friends and as with any friendship I spend time to get to know you so I recognize the moments that are important to you, not just the ones that make a good image.

So please, sit back with a big cup of coffee (the more cream and sugar the better I say) and take a look at some of the stories I have had the privilege of telling and if you like what you see feel free to call anytime cause I love making new friends.

 

Don’t miss out

The days are getting shorter and the lights are coming on earlier and earlier. Holidays are fast approaching and this has always been my favorite time of the year! With everyone coming together for the Holiday’s wouldn’t it be awesome to share your wedding album with everyone. Be sure to order your album and Holiday cards by this Friday the 29th!!!

Family portraits in time for the Holidays

Santa Monica, Mike and Anna= Album

We all love some eye candy. Here is the super sweet Album of Mike and Anna.

Santa Monica, Mike and Anna= Love Proclaimed

Mike sees the scene and can envision the viewers perspective. He is a director… but Anna is his Muse. Anna is his love. Anna is a beauty… but is never as bright as when she’s looking at Mike. Mike is her love. You may remember these two from their super stellar engagement session. Mike and Anna proclaimed their love for each other before friends and family at Shutters on the Beach. Every detail was complete. Every chair was filled.

Here are a few of my favorite images from their day.

Thank you Will for rocking this wedding with me! Mike and Anna thank you for the honor of capturing your day. Many blessings to you both throughout your marriage.

Alex - Oh wow these are so fabulously beautiful! Gorgeous!

Here is a little sneak peek into the love between Mike and Anna their beautiful wedding at Shutters in Santa Monica.
