Fashion Runway at the Race Track

This past weekend I traveled down to the Del Mar race track for a fashion photo shoot for the Charlie M. Collection. We got access to the paddock area where the horses are pranced around for onlookers. We had our own onlookers during the shoot and we even had a few of the jockeys come out and model with the Charlie M. girls. We had a blast! Check out the video of photo shoot below.

Charlie M. Collection

This past weekend I traveled down to Orange County to photograph fashion and product photos for Charlie M. Collections custom jean company. The company specializes in custom fitted jeans for tall women. My good friend Lauren was one of the models and my close friend Jenalee, who works for Charlie M. as the marketing director, took over as the art director for the photo shoot. We photographed the product shots at Charlie M's warehouse and then headed over the to Ritz Carlton to shoot the fashion images. It was a fun, yet exhausting day at the office. :)

A Night at the Museum

This past weekend I photographed Joanna and Matt’s wedding at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum. Back in February Matt and Joanna opted for my fashion engagement package which took place here in SB. Matt works as the senior editor for the Santa Barbara Independent and was looking for a story to write about for the wedding issue. My fashion engagement concept was exactly what he needed and about two weeks later Matt’s article about his experience during my fashion engagement was published in the Independent.

I had a blast at the reception during the Hora where the bride and groom are lifted into the air on chairs and celebrated as 'king and queen of the night'.



Nate Birkey, a famed jazz trumpet player, flew over from New York to attend the wedding and perform with the band. He took down the house with his unique trumpet playing and wistful voice.

Independence Day in Santa Barbara

Spent the evening hanging out with some friends at East Beach and cooking a tasty dinner on the BBQ while watching the fire work show. Right when the grand finale was rocking some locals had their own grand finale right in front of us!
