PORTRAITS OF BREANNA

While camping in the Eastern Sierras this last September ... my niece and I spent the day exploring beautiful Yosemite Valley.  I spotted this cool green bench in the forest and thought it would be the perfect place to take some portraits of Brea.  We had so much fun!

BURKE FAMILY PHOTO SESSION

Check out one of Brett's recent Lexus commercials! He has appeared and worked in film, television and theatre. Keep an eye out for him as he is a huge talent. I was thrilled to have photographed his wedding this past October. Go Brett!!!

HEATHER IS GETTING MARRIED!

I first met Heather on a photo shoot a few years back. She had hired me to take photos of her for her modeling portfolio. I’m thrilled to say she called me recently and hired me to photograph her wedding this summer. Her wedding day is going to be so amazing. She is having an intimate outdoor ceremony in Northern California located at a beautiful scenic cove, right on the beach. I am going to have so much fun taking photos and capturing memories for her and Matt.

PHOTOGRAPHERS GALLERY

I have been represented by Photographers Gallery in Los Angeles since 2006. Photographers Gallery has a diverse collection of works and I am honored to be with them, as they represent some great photographers. Some of the photographers that I admire include Robert Doisneau, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Berenice Abbott, Margaret Bourke-White, Michael Magill, Kerik Kouklis and Mia DelCasino.

Gallery owner Keith Milton, a London native, was formerly the creative head at Virgin Records. He did music videos for some of the top Billboard names in the industry including Lenny Kravitz and David Bowie. But in 2002, Keith decided to leave the music industry and embark on a new creative direction. That same year he opened Photographers Gallery.

Space Magazine did an article on Keith and the gallery called “Hot Art, Cool Vibe” and it featured one of my works "Pine Trees I, Mammoth CA". Please be sure to check it out.

Next time you are in the Los Angeles area, stop by the gallery for a visit, view the amazing collection of works and say "hi" to Keith. Cheers!

PHOTOGRAPHY: Impact of a Medium

My work has been chosen to be a part of the "Photography: Impact of a Medium" group exhibit at the 2nd City Council Art Gallery in Long Beach, CA. The show will feature film, digital and manipulated photographic images from Southern California photographers. The opening reception will feature a live performance from the rock band Jessie Deluxe.

Robbert Flick, a photographer and Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Southern California, was the juror of this exhibit. Flick's work has been exhibited all over the world. He has received a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Grant and a Getty Scholarship.

Hope to see you there!
