Looking forward to meeting you ( with Brooke B) at WPPI:)

JARED & ILEA :: ENGAGED!

We are so comfortable where we are sometimes that it hurts to move or change..or even think about doing those things.  Jared and Ilea have been living the life of servants and haven’t been so comfortable.  They met while Ilea started working for a nonprofit that aided abused, prostituted and broken spirited African women.  I...

PAUL & JULIE :: ENGAGED

The pressure was on…put-on by me of course :)  Whenever i get a request to do a shoot at Balboa Park (which is quite often), i always feel challenged to shoot it in a way that is different and not so cliche and repetitive.  Maybe it’s because you can Google an image of Balboa Park...
