Amy, Mark and lil’ Jack Family Portraits

December 23, 2009

You know you love your job when the time passes and all you remember doing was laughing and having fun. My shoot with this gorgeous family felt like one of those work days. We flowed together walking and playing down the beach, stopping to shoot when it felt right, and then strolled back again. Little Jack, who was mostly interested in using the new appendages he had just figured out, had only a few minor melt downs. What an adorable little guy. Look at that smile! Thanks Amy, Mark and Jack for a memorable afternoon. 0270_EnfieldFamily_F1007TT

Beautiful family, gorgeous day, fun with the Cianfrani’s. Ben was such a sweetheart with lots of energy. We managed to get him to settle down for a few good ones.

Lauren & Ben at Five Pine Lodge

November 16, 2009

I just returned from a wonderful, action packed workshop in Sisters, Oregon at the Five Pine Lodge. Kevin Kubota’s Bootcamp was a life changing event for me. In addition to learning all about workflow using Adobe’s Lightroom and Photoshop CS4 and Kevin’s Dashboard of PS Actions, I had the pleasure of meeting many other great photographers who gave me inspiration. We also had the opportunity to shoot a mock wedding portrait session with this lovely couple Lauren and Ben. The setting couldn’t have been more beautiful. Here are some of my favorites.

Portrait of an emerging Director – Roberto Ferreira

November 2, 2009

Roberto Ferreira runs a web design company, Web Creative and is an emerging writer/director. He needed a bio picture for the movie he just directed, “A Different Kind of Humor” and had heard about me through my roommate Sarah H. Brown. He called me up for a quickie and Sarah and I went over for an impromptu portrait shoot! It was one of those rare rainy days in LA and the light was absolutely gorgeous for shooting. We managed to find a few spots in and around his apartment building to have some fun. Lucky for me, he happened to be absolutely gorgeous, charming and a natural in front of the camera.

First session with Monte Brown and my glorious Mark II

September 28, 2009

I just got a beautiful new Canon EOS 5D Mark II and I’m so excited. I asked my sexy and talented roomate, Monte Brown to be my first test subject. He’s the drummer of the band Paper Zoo, who is scheduled to go on tour with Roger Daltrey (of The Who) in a couple weeks! Congrats to them. We went out and about around Sherman Oaks and took some pictures. I think they turned out fantastically. It doesn’t hurt that I had a great model.

He also plays the guitar and piano.
