This past Saturday, I attended a birthday celebration for Tricia from Tricia Nicole Events. She is a Wedding and Event planner here in Los Angeles and happens to be the wedding planner for Lauren and David, a couple I shot a few months back. You can see their mini-engagement session here. I have been working...

A little update
As many of you saw on my blog and my facebook page, I’ve been somewhat pre-occupied with the little occurrence that happened last week. The burglary itself only took a few minutes, but the damage done and the amount of work that must go into getting business back up and running smoothly is taking much...
They took my cash! :-(
Sadly, my Hollywood office was burglarized in the wee hours of the morning. The minute I got the call, I had to readily change my schedule and push back and reschedule appointments that were scheduled for the day, making it rather challenging. As I drove on the 101 freeway, so many thoughts raced through my...
Friends that rock!
The day before Thanksgiving, I was pleasantly surprised when a long time friend, Helen popped in from Hawaii to visit. Her sister lives in LA and while she was only going to be here for a few days, we always try our best to see each other. I’ve known Helen for almost 20 years, so...
More than a photography workshop
When I attended the Joe McNally workshop on Friday, Nov 6th, I sat amongst 2000+people at the Los Angeles Convention Center. As you may recall, one of my goals for next year is to network and attend as many seminars and workshops as I possibly can. I am a firm believer that knowledge is power,...

His images have graced the covers of National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, Time, Newsweek and many others. His tour was...

Coming from a family with 3 generations of Marines, I have a profound appreciation for Veterans and want to wish everyone out there a Happy Veterans Day; a holiday dedicated to American Veterans of all wars. My oldest brother David served and recently retired from the United States Marine Corps. Serving in both Desert Storm...
This is it!
Yes, I’m a Michael fan. So, when I heard about the new documentary featuring Michael Jackson and his This is it tour, I was excited. So much so, that I pre-purchased my tickets for the movie weeks before it’s release. Granted, I don’t go to the movies much because of my schedule. In...
Networking and learning more…
As this year starts to wind down, I’m starting to get some of my goals in place for 2010. Yes, I’m a little early for the whole new year resolution thing. While I don’t have much of my personal resolutions, I must say I do have SOME of my business goals in place for the...
Kayla – Children Photography
I met Masaki and Dyana a little over a year ago when I shot their 2 month old baby boy, Kan. You can view those pictures by clicking here. A couple of months ago I got an email from Dyana saying she had a new addition to the family and wanted to get some shots...
