Malibu Beach Wedding Photography | Emily and Chris at Leo Carrillo

10/22/2021

Emily and Chris' Leo Carrillo Malibu Beach wedding photos were a mix of part post-COVID wedding photoshoot, part beach elopement, part family portrait session and all dreamy sunset sky goodness. This couple and their family was so much fun to celebrate and snap photos with. Emily picked a beautiful wedding dress with a high neckline (I mean, she's a triathlete, so that was DEF the right choice) and Chris wore his wedding suit and we frolicked barefoot at low tide snapping these pics on the sand and on the cliffs above.

Malibu Graduation Photographer | Bri Plank at Malibu Creek State Park Senior Pictures

12/9/2020

This girl!!! WHUT. She smiles, she glows, she smolders, she slays. She set my camera on fire with her laughter AND her beauty. I may be dating myself here but I've known Bri since she was 10 (maybe even longer), so to get to snap pictures of her as a senior in high school, as a full-grown adult is just blowing my mind. And she totally owned it, as you'll see in these photos. I loved this session because her sisters and mama (those Plank women are thick as thieves) came along to her session to, well, hype her off camera, and then jump in a few sisters-and-mama portraits that are legit going to wind up in all their cell phone lock screen backgrounds (and in framed prints on their walls). 
Thanks Bri for thinking of me to document these sweet, beautiful, meaningful moments in your exciting life! I can't wait to see what adventures are in store for you in the next chapter.

Malibu Graduation Photographer | Simone at Pepperdine University Senior Pictures

What a powerhouse! Congratulations to Simone, on graduating from high school and beginning of a new and exciting chapter in life. Simon's Malibu senior pictures pack as much personality, fun and creativity as Simone does. I love that she brought along a pair of sunglasses to spice up her session, and her sister (aka travel buddy and best friend) was willing to jump in for a few snaps at the end, which made it extra special.

Malibu Engagement Photographer | Kari and Eric at Point Dume

11/15/2020

This adventurous couple lucked out and got to shoot their engagement photos at the beach in Malibu at Point Dume's secluded hidden cove. The tide doesn't always cooperate but this time it did and we got to shoot among the rocks (and the beautiful salty spray) at sunset. After playing in the water, we hiked up to the top of the cliff for some extra special sunset views of the coastline together. Then we had a little time to finish off the shoot with some fun silhouettes with the orange and blue sunset. *chef's kiss!* 

So excited for Kari and Eric to get married!

Malibu Engagement Photographer | Jon and Kathleen at El Matador Engagement Pictures

10/3/2020

 
Picture
Picture
These beachy El Matador engagement photos knocked it out of the park! Mostly because Jon and Kathleen are gorgeous and funny and ultra-compatible, but also a little bit because the golden sunsets in October in Malibu are legendary. So just in case you've ever wondered what it's like to be gorgeous and in love and also​ lucky (these kids scored a beautiful low tide sunset), just ask Jon and Kathleen. 

Can't wait for their wedding in May!!

Quality headshots are an essential part of putting your best foot forward. From creating a polished LinkedIn profile to looking your best on your company's team webpage, you should have a great headshot that you love sharing with the world. ​

Headshot Tips

  1. Dress the part. Think about what you're planning to use this headshot for, and dress as though you already have the job. If you're sprucing up your LinkedIn profile to land a job in finance when you graduate, maybe that means shaving the beard, getting a haircut, or borrowing a suit and tie from a friend. But if you're building your career as a personal trainer, show up like you would for a fitness photoshoot. 
  2. Hair up or hair down? As long as your hair is out of your face and we can see both your eyes and eyebrows, you can style your hair however you want. 
  3. Wear this not that. This session will occur in a natural park environment with plenty of grass and trees in the background. So you'll be framed by soft greens. With that in mind, I recommend opting for light neutrals or pastels. The exception to this is a dark, classic suit and tie... that's always appropriate for a professional headshot, regardless of the backdrop. Colors and clothing to avoid? Neons and large, busy patterns. 
  4. Accessories. Jewelry is fine, as long as it enhances rather than detracts from your overall look. If you're torn on whether to wear a piece of jewelry, ask the people you live with, "What do you notice first?" and if they instantly gravitate toward the accessory, maybe don't wear it for your headshot. You want this photo to feature you! 

See you on October 17 and 24!

Hermosa Beach Family Photographer | Hackmans at Polliwog Park Photos

8/24/2020

These Hermosa Beach park photos are just too cute for words! With little Micah just arrived one week previous, these photos were the perfect moment to welcome him into the world and introduce him to family and friends around the country who had yet to meet him. What a sweet little peanut! We had the best time exploring around the pond and under the trees at Polliwog Park in Hermosa Beach, on a softly lit late summer afternoon. Congratulations to these first time parents! 

And if Christy and Darin look familiar, it's because their beautiful Point Dume maternity photos happened just a few weeks before Micah arrived (funny how that happens...)

Malibu Senior Photographer | Sam's Pepperdine Graduation Photos

These Pepperdine senior photos are knocking my socks off! Pepperdine is beautiful, Malibu is beautiful, and the hiking trail on the ridgeline above campus, with its view of both campus and the sweeping coastline of Malibu is off the charts. Congratulations to Sam, as she steps out into the world after college! I'm so glad you took the moment to capture these graduation photos in Malibu, before leaving town, so you could always remember the place where you grew and changed during college.
