Human Rights Watch Fundraiser

12/19/2014

 
I've spent a lot of time working and volunteering in the nonprofit sector. I know very well the value of volunteerism. So when the event organizer for a Human Rights Watch fundraiser got in touch, I was excited to give back.

Plus the venue at the Santa Monica Art Studio was pretty cool.

Point Dume Sprint Triathlon Event Photos

12/15/2014

 
Point Dume is a landmark promontory in Malibu made famous by its roles in Planet of the Apes, innumerable fashion photo shoots, and most recently as Tony Stark's fictional mansion in the Iron Man film series. The point is also the namesake and site of the first ever Point Dume Sprint Triathlon, hosted by CrossFit Malibu.

After designing the logo and t-shirt for the race, I had the pleasure of playing the role of event photographer. I got to shoot these athletes as they swam, biked and ran around the most picturesque race course I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure everyone's hoping this will become an annual thing.

Event sponsors:
Kristy's
CrossFit Malibu
Smartwool

Achiamar | Headshots in Abbot Kinney 

12/13/2014

 
Achiamar (ash-i-mar) is my ultra-talented partner in photographic crime. We've shot weddings, yoga raves and fashion looks together. The day we met, we realized we both owned and loved the same lens (the nifty fifty!) and were eerily wearing the same shirt.

We started shooting for lululemon around the same time and cut our teeth in yoga studios, fitness haunts and trail running courses, learning together about shutter speed, light bounces and which yoga postures NOT to showcase in a clothing shoot (the upside-down ones).

She has a photography website that you should definitely check out.

One last thing about this half-Puerto Rican, half-Chinese dynamo: she's the only person named Achiamar who ever lived. That's right, it's a completely made up name. Truly unique. As is she.

And without further ado, here is Achiamar.

Hillary | Senior Portraits in Abbot Kinney

12/9/2014

 
If you live in or around Los Angeles, you should do yourself a favor and take a drive over to Abbot Kinney. This former arts district has been upgraded to a hipster collection of one of a kind boutiques, unforgettable restaurants and coffee shops where you're sure to spot a celeb. Intermittently spaced between and behind it all is a generous helping of vintage murals, graffiti and colorful alleyways. That's where Hillary and I spent an afternoon. Every so often she would get bored and start reading classic novels... on her feet... while standing in front of colorfully painted walls. Here are some of my faves from the day.

Chip | 8-month Portraits at Pepperdine University

Charles—or Chip for short—is eight months old. He enjoys reading books to his large stuffed rabbit, sitting in his mom's lap, and melting people's hearts with his gorgeous blue eyes.

Connemara's Senior Portraits in the Santa Monica Mountains

12/6/2014

 
I had the pleasure of shooting senior portraits with Connemara on the beautiful horse ranch where she lives in the Santa Monica Mountains. We had a great time chasing the setting sun on a breezy September evening.

Elizabeth & Jake at Malibu Creek State Park

12/5/2014

 
As long as I've lived in Southern California, I've wanted to have a photo shoot at a particular oak tree. It stands alone on a hill above a winding canyon road and when the sun drops low in the late afternoon, light shines through its branches and casts a long and mesmerizing shadow on the grassy hill below.
When Elizabeth and Jake told me they wanted to take engagement photos in nature, with some trees and mountains, I knew I would finally get a chance to shoot with THE tree.
I love the imagery of a tree as the setting for these photos, because as Elizabeth and Jake plan for their life together, their love is not unlike this particular tree. A healthy relationship requires roots to keep them grounded in truth and nutrients to bring life and growth. As seasons pass, their relationship will grow and change, be it ever so gradually. And like a beautiful tree standing alone on a hill adding beauty to the countryside, Elizabeth and Jake's commitment will serve as an inspiration to those around them.
As the psalmist writes, my hope for Elizabeth and Jake is that their love would be "like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers."
(Psalm 1:3)

Raine + Craig at the Santa Barbara Courthouse

12/4/2014

 
Raine and Craig met at the starting line of the L.A. Marathon. They chatted. He remembered her bib number and they managed to find each other again when the race was over. As if that's not perfect enough, they're moving to Germany together in pursuit of more adventure.
The actual wedding and reception took place on rooftop under the stars but I got to shoot some fun pictures beforehand of the family, the bridal party, and of course...

...THIS COUPLE!

lululemon athletica Santa Monica Flagship Store Opening

12/2/2014

 
lululemon athletica opened their brand new flagship store on 3rd Street and Broadway in Santa Monica amid a fanfare of ribbon cutting, kombucha on tap, a yoga flash mob and a bike brigade of lululemon-logo-decked beach cruisers. The SaMo team definitely knows how to have a good time and if you're in the area any time soon, you won't want to miss the beautiful (and huge!) new store. Do yourself a favor, pour a glass of kombucha and pick up a piece of your new favorite workout gear.
