I've been taking images of my neighbors' children for what seems like forever already!  It's so fun to look back at their old shoots and see how much they have grown and changed in just a few short years.  You can see here they have always kept me on my toes and this shoot was no exception.  I love how Lucas, Owen, and Erica are so fiercely individual in their own personalities and it shows in their group images as well.  Until next time!

I have been so blessed in my life with good health, wonderful friends & family, a job I love, and the ability to have fun seeing a bit of the world and generally doing what I want to do.  Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as I have been.  I've been involved in a couple programs throughout the years that have given me the opportunity to give back through my photography.  This year, I wanted to do a little more, something special for the holiday season. 

That's why for this Holiday Season I am teaming up with my friends and fellow photographers Cindy Guessford of Cindy Guessford Photography and Mark Gardner of Mark Gardner Photography for our Make A Wish Portrait Promo!!!

Brittany and Toph's wedding will be revealed on the blog soon!  I usually post a nice moment between a couple for a teaser, but thought I'd change it up today.  For now, I thought I'd tease Brittany with her piles and piles of hair!  Hehe, not to worry, she will be seeing the entire wedding this week!

I've been itching to try out some boudoir photography over the last couple years and I finally found a great test subject - one of my brides Brittany!  She is the epitome of a client putting her absolute trust in me.  And it doesn't hurt that she has fabulous fashion taste!  We finally got together to make some images and I'm quite pleased for my first go at it.  I could really enjoy doing some more of these.  So, ladies, if you are looking for a gift for your groom, give me a holler for some tastefully smokin' images!   

My blogging has been all over the place this summer, so why stop now!  Many of you will recognize baby Andrew from my first hanging baby image.  I never posted some other images from the session, so I thought I'd start to get a little caught up on the blogging with him!

I'm so pleased to announce that I have picked a winner for the wedding photography contest!  Britt + Mike with their LA wedding!  This whole process has been fun for me, getting to know these couples through their entries and mood boards.  The final decision was tough as I was falling in love with each one, but I picked one true to the contest parameters for sure!  Now, for some yummy details!

Britt works on the show "Psych" and Mike is a Special Ed Math teacher at inner city schools.  Both have a passion for what they do and have infused their passion for life into their wedding plans.  They are getting married at a great indoor/outddor venue Box Eight Studios in LA.  One of the things that struck me about this venue, besides the cool factor, is that it's owned and operated by a collective of artists and the rental money goes to funding their artistic endeavors!  For other wedding details - think mismatched bridesmaid dresses & groomsmen attire, lanterns, mason jars, Kogi BBQ truck, homemade beer, electric guitar, etc....  I know I'm pumped!  Can't wait for your wedding next year Britt & Mike!  Oh, and check out Britt's own bridal blog The Bowie Bride!

Here is a pic Britt sent me of her and Mike!
