Recel and Bryan’s Engagement Shoot

You know, as many times as I’ve photographed at Disney Hall, I never get sick of it. It’s just such an incredible place to photograph. The light hits the building in such interesting ways at every different angle and it’s unique and beautiful at each hour of the day. I guess that is what photography is all about, right? Anyway, I fell in love with Recel and Bryan at our first meeting and I am so honored to be photographing their wedding. They are so cute, sweet and adorable and we had a blast! Bryan took Recel to the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion on their first date so we had to get a couple of pix with the fountain. Sorry Recel and Bryan that you got a little wet!

Parris Family Photo Shoot!

What a fun photo shoot! I photographed Ashley and Alex’s wedding in May and her mom wanted me to do a family portrait before her youngest sons went back to college this fall. We opted for the campus at Pepperdine as Carrol (mom) is a trustee and I mean, it’s just so gorgeous there. Anyway, I had this idea that it would be fun to have them on a couch in the middle of this field. Well, the couch thing turned out to be a major drama….but it worked out in the end and it was really funny having it be delivered.

The Parris family was a little wild, unruly and VERY fun, so I just tried to capture that- and take a couple of standard portaits in between the goofing around!! I think the largest family group I ever shot was 5 so this was challanging and very inspirational. And what a great looking family!
