San Diego skyline

go to san diego and not shoot??? NO WAY!

this was a last minute... very last minute shoot i put together. I met some very kind people in the process; Elizabeth and her sweet mom, James Overstreet did Elizabeths make up and did a fantastic job! Anton David did her hair, he also rocked it! and a thank you to the Marriott Gaslamp Quarter Hotel for being so kind to let me shoot at their hotel, and on this awesome helicopter landing pad! If your ever in San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter is a sweet place to stay, it's right in the heart of downtown in the Gaslamp district, it's super fancy, and the people there are very kind!

and last but not least...  thank you kyle for helping so much with my lighting! Im just so glad you didn't blow away holding my parachute softbox!!!

housewife shoot.

long time no see! im sorry i havent posted in so long, it has been so crazy since my trip, i have been shooting so much! i still some others i need to post..but only one for now...

this shoot was a fun "housewife"shoot that i made my gorgous friend model for...she was dying! but she was such a good sport, and did such an awesome job! we had such a great time! i even talked her into getting into the pool, even though it was freezing, there was snow on the ground and it was raining all day! what a good friend! next thing ya know she'll be on America's top model!

i feel so lucky to have the amazingly talented make up artist, Angela De St. Joer Matson there to beautify our model! Angie is a very talented make up artist, her company is ADM Artistry...for all you brides out there! i will be working with her more often on some more of my upcoming projects. she will also be doing my styling for shoot in addition to the make up, which she is amazing at as well- i wish she could just come over and pick out my clothes every day! check out here. she's a cute gal, and fun to work with.

and now for my favorites...
