I'll be gone this week covering the Toyota Financial Services Brand Conference in Santa Monica, but I wanted to post a quick preview of "Hangar 51"

Destination: Polynesia

As part of my personal project (I'll announce more information in the near future) I'm creating artistic images with dancers in motion. A couple of weeks ago I was graced by Nancy who came to perform Egyptian Belly Dance. And today's photo shoot involved a few awesome Polynesian dancers from Orange County's Island Inspirations. A big thanks to Alewa for organizing this! It's just so amazing to see the Polynesian culture expressed through dance and Shayna performed so beautifully. Here's just a few of my favorites images:

Engagement Pictures Downtown Long Beach CA

It was a blast with Vanessa, Sam, and Zoe as we wandered through some of the streets and alleys in Downtown Long Beach for their engagement pictures. I loved how Vanessa and Sam were just so relaxed, fun loving, and enjoying each other's company. Their puppy Zoe joined us for some of the photos around town. Check it out!

California Sunset Engagement Pictures Laguna Beach

I've been planning to do Colleen and Patrick's engagement pictures for some time now, but the past weekends when we did schedule it ended up raining on us. So we finally got a weekend with beautiful weather and a stunning California Sunset.








As the sun went down the colors became deeper and richer...

Calamigos Ranch Malibu Wedding Photography

What a gorgeous day it was for Alex and Cynthia's wedding in Malibu. We had such beautiful weather and deep blue skies. The ceremony took place in Stauffer Chapel of Pepperdine University, followed by their elegant reception at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. I actually met Alex and Cynthia during Betty and Simeon's wedding late last year and then again when they visited my studio, where we all immediately hit it off. What I love about them is their trust in giving me creative freedom and quality time for some romantic pictures. They were so relaxed and fun loving during their wedding and it was such a pleasure to spend some time with them!

Be sure to click here to see their wedding slideshow!
Here are a few of my favorite images from their wedding:
