ok, ok ok, so i’m a bit behind in my blogging…. lets just say i’m about 14 months behind in blogging. what can i say… i’m a busy gal! once i get ‘a moment’ for my blog i’ll try to catch you all up on what i’ve been up to with my camera. i think some of the work will be worth the wait;) ~
yes; my website is a bit behind too…. new work to show coming in the next few months….
Scott is a dear friend. He is our pastor at Saddleback Church in San Clemente. I love that chuch! He wanted some introspective moments captured. Check out Scott’s website. If you have not checked out Saddleback Church yet, go ahead!

Greg Plitt Shoot.
Since the first time I worked with Greg a few years back, he has continued to amaze me with his grounded, sweet, intelligent nature. I’m sure most people stop at the eyes and abs… but there is so much more! Greg has become a great friend. I can’t say enough about his professionalism, amazing attitude, and how much fun he is on shoots. He is hands down my favorite male model/actor to photograph. It’s about the 4th shoot we’ve done together and each shoot is more fun that the previous one. Check out Greg’s site :http://www.gregplitt.com/

I really enjoy shooting food. The critical elements of fine art, technical aspects of photography, and timing all come in to play.
Finally photographing my own kids… (isn’t there a saying about the shoe maker’s kids that don’t have shoes…???) With Christmas Cards my family can be assured that they will get at least one updated image a year! Great hair compliments of my dear friend Cassie Lyons!
Check out On The rocks Jewelers… they have pearls, diamonds, precious stones… i wanted to keep everything we shot! The owners are the coolest gals too. I personally recommend them!

A time for some rest and reflection. I dreaded lugging my camera around on all day hikes… but well worth it in the end.
Capturing those special and unobtrusive magical seconds that can easily sneak right by… precious moments of my daughters…. I don’t take enough pictures of my own kids… I’m so glad i decided to take along my camera on this day.
Another beautiful image of Lisa. This one is my very favorite out of the entire shoot. I think it reveals a very calming, soft, and classy side of Lisa. To see more about Lisa and learn more details about the ’Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ go to: Lisa Vanderpump

This was my kind of shoot… I had to pull a wide range of emotions out of writer William Lobdell for his feature editorial images . I know I pushed him a lot for this… and he just kept giving and giving… yep; my kind of shoot! William is the critically acclaimed author of “Losing My Religion”.
Lisa Vanderpump’s first editorial with Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine.

the fun started before I ever made it to Lisa’s home… i was so impressed with her neighbors garbage cans (there were 17 in a row) (ahh… the neighbor was Sylvester Stallone) that i decided to take a photo with my iphone through the back of my car… and some how as i was backing up i hit the first garbage can and i created a domino effect with trash…hmmmm! Lisa was fun… i loved her little puppy ‘Pinky’. i think Pinky lives a better life than 99% of the human population on the planet. Lucky PInky… Lisa’s home was stunning. The grounds were magical. It was hard to leave. The images will appear in Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine for her editorial page as well as her website Lisa Vanderpump. You can see more of Lisa in the brand new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
cool shoot – it was a pleasure to photograph Stephan (GM) and Cedrick from the ICH. I’m deathly afraid of heights (ever since I thought i was going to get ‘blown’ off the edge of the grande canyon when i was 8 from a strong gust of wind) so shooting on the heli pad truly made me sick to my stomach and a little shaky. so; why does the grande canyon not have any railing anyway???? I wonder how many people are screwed up like me from one of those ‘percieved near death’ experiences…
shooting suzanne broughton for oc family feburary’s issue. suzanne is such an active blogger we stopped the shoot for her blogging about 6 times! I suck at blogging… so it was nice to see how a pro does it. do you think i’ll learn anything from it. no! i’m a blogger looser and always will be. no time or lack or organization to make it happen?
taylor was great – i loved shooting to his music too. i actualy revisited the old days of being a makeup artist (yes; i was a makeup artist right out of Purdue for about 6 months!) and did taylor’s makeup… check out his site: http://www.myspace.com/taylorwarrenband | i can’t wait to hear his music on the radio – he’s there!

our little model had a hard time warming up for the shoot, thank God staci had 70’s music to dance too… we were grooving to ‘ring my bell’…. moments not to relive any time soon i hope
one of the most messy shoots i’ve ever had. but oh so fun… I still have orange paint on my camera strap as evidence:-)

I loved this store – they had so many amazingly funny gifts. It’s the perfect store for birthday gifts for people who have everything. They also have lots of great kitchen items, books, and did I mention the aprons? Even though I don’t cook much I had to get one. The owner, below, was a doll.

What a cool store – I hate when I want to buy items that I’m photographing – it’s counter productive when the paycheck goes to the product….
