Ginny and Mike’s Engagement Photos were captured in the sunny atmosphere that embraces Venice Beach on a colorful block of both laid back and trendy shops that is known as Abbot Kinney Blvd. It’s so nice to live in a place where it’s warm year-round. A place where you can wear halter tops in October and flip-flops in December and whenever you step outside you’re met with a giant hug from the sun. I know that people complain about missing “the seasons” but that’s what road-trips are for! Living here makes me feel like I’m on vacation year-round. Enjoy Ginny and Mikes Sunny SoCal shoot….Fall in LA! ~J

I photographed this family the last time I was in San Francisco. We spent the majority of our time together just chasing little Tyler up and down the block. Which is how most of my shoots go. Capturing a child in action always makes for the very best (and most natural looking) images. Big props to the ~B Family, you make such lovely photos together. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to create some memories with you.  (: Cheers! ~J

I got the shoot the Joah Love clothing line TWICE!  The designers added so much good stuff, it took two shoots to get it all in! Here’s some of my favorites from the second time around. I swear, these kids are so irresistable!  The 2010 Spring line is up on the website at Joahlove.com….mom’s go check it out! ~J

Just this weekend we photographed Judy Reyes’ Celebrity Baby Shower at the Casa Del Mar Hotel in Santa Monica. I’m sure you know Judy, she plays Carla Espinosa – the Head Nurse at Sacred Heart Hospitol. Of course she does. I’m talking about the television comedy Scrubs (sidenote: I do love that Zach Braff…had to say it).
When you shoot celeb stuff – everything becomes a crazy race to get all the pictures out to specific magazines who were promised the “Exclusives” before the issue goes to print. So for the past 48 hours we’ve been going back and forth with Managers and Editors and Publicists to make sure everyone is happy with the images that are going to be used. There’s really a lot of politics involved! Here are the first fruits of our labors…a picture of Judy and her hot new [strategically placed] ORBIT STROLLER – it’s the “it stroller” to have you know….at least if you live in Hollywood (:
We just have to wait until things clear with one or two more publications, and then I’ll be able to post the story that I saw through my lens and how I will tell it when I present it to Judy … which you all know is going to be an entirely different story from what the magazines show. Still, we’re very proud of our page in Life & Style Magazine. ~J
