Courtney Brandt: Author Photo

Courtney Brandt is the author of a book for young adults called The Line. It’s about the lives of some high school kids who happen to be in the marching band. A self-professed “band geek,” Courtney aimed to give a voice to fellow band geeks of the world through these stories of young love, high […]

Nenah: Work and Play

Yesterday I spent some time with my new friend Nenah at Lemon Creek Park in Diamond Bar. For the past couple of years, Nenah has been expressing interest in acting and being in commercials, so her grandma asked me to take a few headshots so that she could put together a portfolio for her. I […]

Faiza: Portraits

Faiza is another girl I worked with over at mystyle. When she saw the photos I had taken of Danielle and Davi, she decided she wanted some of her own. She didn’t have a business card in mind for hers, though–instead, Faiza just wanted some nice portraits of herself for no particular reason at all. […]

heather + che: engaged!

Heather and I went to high school together but we hadn’t seen each other since graduation day. That was ten years ago and don’t even get me started on how freaked out I am about the fact that I am ten years out of high school. Most days I don’t feel a day over 19. […]

Rama: Maternity

I had the pleasure of meeting Rama and her husband, Ario, over the weekend. I met them at their home for a maternity photo shoot, and while I usually like to scout locations before I shoot there, I liked the idea of a maternity shoot taking place in the comfort of the parents-to-be own home. […]

Dahvi: Headshots

Here’s another set of headshots from a girl I work with. I actually took Dahvi’s photo for the mystyle Test Drive section and she liked how the one turned out so much that she decided to hire me. That is always nice! I have at least two other headshot sessions confirmed, both of which spawned […]

Danielle: Headshots

I work with Danielle over at mystyle.com and she recently hired me to take some headshots for use on her business cards. Since she’s not an actress I was only loosely following regular guidelines for headshots, but the general idea was the same: Danielle needed to look like the best version of herself and her […]

Marjan’s Baby Bump

You may remember Marjan and her husband Avi from their magnificent baby shower last month. This weekend I met up with them again because they wanted some baby bump photos before their little girl made her appearance into the world. Marjan is due next month and she couldn’t be more beautiful! A few of these […]

Kim + Johnny

Once upon a time I was 12 years old. The new girl at school, I often sat alone on the bus each morning because I wasn’t what you would call outgoing. Even though both of my cousins went to the same school and took the same bus and had been in the same school district […]

faith + jason

I got to hang out in Chinatown this weekend with Faith and Jason, a gorgeous couple who wanted some nice portraits together and came to me with the task of making them look gorgeous in photos. I use the term “task” very lightly––as you can see from the photos below, these two have absolutely zero […]
