GILA RUT AVEDA SALON

On May 17th ... I had a photo session with Gila Rut Aveda Salon. Here are just a few of the images from the shoot. It was such a fun day! The models did a great job. It was great to work with the creative team at Gila Rut. They are such a talented bunch. A big thank you to Chris at Ray Street Studios for providing a great working environment. Cheers!

KIDS!

While going through some of my past portrait work ... I came across these images. I just had to share them with you. ;o)

MIA DELCASINO

Hey everybody! I just wanted to share some exciting news with you. My dear friend (and photo adventure travel buddy), Mia DelCasino, just won ... not one ... but two awards in the notable Photography Masters Cup competition for her work "Kerry Blue" and "Passage Eight". This is a remarkable achievement and I am so proud of her. She is a great talent and I admire her contemporary style and masterful color palette. Her work resonates beauty and peace. Cheers to you Mia!

MODEL HEATHER

A few months back I bumped into Heather at a party. It was really nice to see her ... so I thought I would go back into my film archives and post some of the images I took of Heather. I had the pleasure of photographing Heather a few years back for her model portfolio. We spent 2 days shooting and Karla Lopez-Martinez of Gila Rut Aveda Salon was the hair and makeup stylist extraordinaire. We had so much fun and Heather was a rock star! Thanks to Lucia Lento at Drop Dead Designs for hooking us up!

MODEL MEGAN

One day, when I was downtown ... I discovered Megan sitting at a table at Starbucks. I asked her if she had ever modeled before and she said no. So I gave her my card and asked her if she would be interested in auditioning for a photo shoot with Gila Rut Salon. I thought she would be perfect for the shoot. Megan turned out to be a natural in front of the camera and she was so much fun to photograph. She ended up landing more modeling gigs after her first photo session with me. Go Megan!

GILA RUT AVEDA SALON

Hey everyone! Here are a few images that I took a couple of years ago for Gila Rut Aveda Salon. I have another photo shoot scheduled with the salon in a couple of weeks. I am super excited about it as the photo session will be held at Ray Street Studios in North Park. I am also looking forward to working with the creative team at Gila Rut. It should be a fun day!

CAFE CHLOE

Hey everybody! Here are some photos I took yesterday of Cafe Chloe. If you are ever in the East Village, check out this Parisian-style restaurant. The staff is friendly and the food is great.

SPA VELIA

Hey everyone! Check out these photos I took for Spa Velia. The images were featured in Day Spa Magazine. Do yourself a favor and pamper yourself at this wonderful spa. While you are there ... check out my fine art work currently on exhibit at their gallery.

MUSIC CD COVER ART

Hey everybody! I just love music. One of my hobbies is making music mixes for my friends as gifts. I really enjoy making the CD covers as well. Thought I would share a few of them with you. I am currently working on a new Chill Out VI Lounge Mix. I am trying to find a copy of the song "Beating Of My Heart" by Moa x (2001 -EMI- Netherlands) and have emailed a few people in Europe that I found on Discog.com that may have it ... I am crossing my fingers!

SHANNON AND DAVID'S WEDDING

Shannon and David hosted an intimate ceremony at the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa in Rancho Santa Fe one Saturday in February. Lauren Finley was the coordinator and Adrianne Smith provided the florals. Shannon and David were a joy to photograph and we were thrilled to be a part of such an amazing day. These are just a few of the great highlights from their big day! To view a slideshow of their wedding ... click here.

REYNOLDS FAMILY PHOTO SESSION

Thought I would share some of my images from the Reynolds family portrait session I took awhile back. The weather was beautiful that day and it made for great photos. I have received a few comments from people saying I should enter the B&W image in a photo contest. Check out the cute expressions on the little boy and his dog. I think maybe he'd rather be surfing on that cool Velzy surfboard. :o)
