I shoot people. And I get a kick out of it.

But! I also shoot residential real estate. And I get a kick out of that too!

I shot this rad little bungelow in Huntington Beach a few weeks back with a rad view of the harbor and ocean/Catalina view on the other side. Perfect little space to get away for awhile…it felt like a little mini vacation shooting it…that’s for sure…I love vacations and since I don’t take too many too often…I vacation in my mind as much as possible. 🙂

That’s right: I’m fun. Why? Because I jump on the dance floor and bust a move if the moment calls for it…or I jump in the money dance and spin the bride around in circles. Cause I can.

Weddings are just too much fun. If I wasn’t a professional photographer, I might consider becoming a professional wedding crasher.

    Michelle said - Wish I was the bride in the photo; I forgot to get a photo with you. Luckily a smart, dear friend took a pic of you and Miked together and gave it to me. Yay!

Wendy and Dustin started out as friends the very first day of college. Just friends. For years they were just friends. But everybody knew…

And eventually, Wendy and Dustin figured it out too. Their love blossomed fully and they’ve been together ever since.

I had known Wendy in junior high, and even though we had lost touch over the years, reconnecting with her last year was fun and comfortable. She’s a beautiful person. And then to see her with Dustin during our engagement session, I saw a confidence and compassion in her that was refreshing and inspiring. She fit so well with Dustin, and Dustin fit perfectly right back.

He responds to her gentle touches with gentle glances. He smiles when she smiles and laughs when she laughs. So naturally, their wedding was a complete joy to shoot. I just adore photographing two people so in love…

And two beautiful people so in love? Even better! Wendy’s dress was STUNNING and her bright blue eyes were even more stunning. Dustin shined up so sharp and handsome and again, fit perfectly right by Wendy’s lovely side.

It was a beautiful wedding…and here’s just a teaser for now…more to come later!

    Patty Scidmore - Wendy and Dustin,

    Beautiful pictures! Glad to have been there. Can’t wait to see more.

This week I did an editorial shoot for ZUMA Press with Bruno Serato, owner and lead chef at the Anaheim White House restaurant. I was excited immediately at the job offer, because the restaurant is beautiful and DELISH and to get to get inside that kitchen…c’mon. All my Facebook friends know I’m a sucker for good food…

But then I read Bruno’s story. The Italian born and raised chef has been cooking and donating pasta dinners to underprivileged kids in Anaheim for the last five years, even as his business struggles to stay afloat. Serving hundreds of children six days a week, Serato is now giving away more meals than he sells.

And then I met Bruno. And the warmth in his handshake, the openness in his eyes, the compassion in his kitchen…I immediately forgot about good food and thought only about good people and the good heart inside this man that’s been giving so much.

If you’d like to check out more, google Bruno Serato and read more better written more informed awesome articles on his story. Or contact the Anaheim White House and contribute to his story by donating pasta and/or money. 714.772.1381

Becca is the daughter of one of my favorite clients who I’ve worked with for the past several years. I had heard a lot about Becca over the years…just fun little tidbits from her proud dad. Then a few months ago, her parents decided it was time to take Becca’s acting to the next level. And that meant getting some quality head shots.

So! Becca and her mother met me in the Orange Circle on a beautiful overcast morning. Many Southern Californians were complaining about this June gloom that lasted well into July, but I was giddy with the gloom, knowing the way it wraps the light around my subjects face in an oh-so-soft and sensual way.

Seriously! Look at Becca’s flawless skin! It is beautiful on its own, but the soft light sprinkled its magic on her cheeks that morning and bounced into her eyes with enchantment. At least I felt the magic and enchantment. 🙂

Becca was a little timid in the beginning, but slowly warmed up to me and my camera and totally opened up to the experience by the end. It was a beautiful transformation to watch. Much like the light that day, this soft and sweet girl showed us a vibrant and compelling side of herself.
