Watch out, world!

Today, I had a chance to photograph fellow North High alums and future models (or extras). Look at these handsome men! Although I love the serious shots, I do enjoy the smiles. Trust me, they had a hard time looking serious with Brandon cracking jokes in the back!







Just fooling around



How I love his humor!

Grrrrr....




Ok...ready? One, two, three..."awwwww~!"

It's Spring time!

It's officially spring! My absolute favorite boy started the new season by planting carrots, radishes, and onions!

WPPI 2008

It's SPRING BREAK! Whoo hooo~! Jimmy and I went to the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) convention. And guess where it was held? Vegas! =) We had a great time shopping at the trade show and learning so much in the workshops. We came home with tons of brochures, and cool ideas. Be sure to check in because we will be adding fun features and new images.

A Whale of a Day!

This is an old post...I have so much to catch up! Jimmy and I had a nice morning a couple of weeks ago. We first had breakfast at the Trump Golf Course for yummy omlettes and sandwiches. Then, we headed to the PV Light House for their annual Open House.

Here's Coastie! He is remote controlled AND he talks! He actually posed for me!



We climbed to the top of the lighthouse. This is the lens. It was extremely bright and hot.




It's a Bird! It's a Plane!

No, it's Jimmy fllllyyyiiingg! Hahaha. No, really. Jimmy and I went to City Walk last Saturday for our friend Josh's totally awesome birthday party. Instead of having balloons and silly hats, Josh decided to try out the iFLY sky diving simulator. I was initally planning to do it too, but as soon as I realized that PEOPLE were going to be watching, I decided against it. =) Please excuse my poor photo quality...I was trying to video tape this madness with my other hand.

Here's Jimmy and his instructor, Drew.


A photo of the crazy wind capsule.


Absolutely serious.

He's getting the hang of it....


...and up up he goes!

Noah's Ark

Photos from the Noah's Ark exhibit at the Skirball Center. This one is definitely a must-see. It's one of those things where you can spend hours on end and continue to discover new aspects. Look closely...the animals on the ark were made out of pasta, purses, door handles, basketballs... it is one of the most creative exhibits I have ever seen!
