When I received the call from Liz for her family portraits I was quite honestly surprised. Liz lives across the country now and I hadn't heard from her in around 20 years! Let's just say I was amazed and proud to hear from her and believe it or not I actually recognized her voice. She's just got one of those charming and sparkling personalities that everyone likes. Things haven't changed since high school and she looks just as wonderful as she did back then! Despite living across country, Liz... Read Full Story

That's why she came to us over everyone else because we are well known to deliver those high quality stylistic, dramatic and classically gorgeous photographs with great prices too! During our meeting we shared some coffee, tea, good laughs and figured out our options and... Read Full Story

I really truly have had the pleasure getting to know Ieshia and Brien Burley very well. I can say it was an honor to photograph their wedding in Torrance at South End and their bridal session in Palos Verdes. Its been a great time getting to know each other since our first meetings and our engagement shoot in Redondo Beach. Brien and I took it a little further and had a great time at the Torrance Elephant Bar a little bit before the wedding date. We discussed details, shared some drinks, food... Read Full Story

I am proud to say that I had the privilege and pleasure to photograph Maricela & Frank's wedding on the Los Verdes Golf Course on March 25, 2011. It was day of skies filled with clouds that yield those awesomely dramatic photographs.The ceremony was beautiful. Immediately following the ceremony, their bridal photographs led us out on a golf cart adventure racing to the horizon over bumps, hills and sharp turns where we wondered if we would tip over! It was a challenge for all three of us. We... Read Full Story

A reposting for my assistant Kristine... I write this with a heavy heart. My closest aunt passed away this Saturday. I have some solace in knowing she is now with Christ in heaven. Our family should be celebrating the resurrection of our Savior, but with so much grief looming over us, we are finding that extremely difficult. My aunt was a very amazing woman and helped raise me. After my mom passed away in 1995 she helped take on the burden of raising a young tee...n. She had no children of... Read Full Story

This week I had a brief escape to Big Bear California with one of my best friends. It was a fantastic time and it was really gorgeous. I needed the break I had one morning to take photographs on Thursday. I thought the light was questionable for landscape work but I went for some atypical photographs and thought in Black & White as well as color. So I guess I came up with a quick plan and it worked out really well! It was quick trip for photographs, fishing, food and fun at Big Bear. If you... Read Full Story
