Kristin Harmel is not only my fellow UF alum, and long time girlfriend, but she's an amazing author with a slew of published chic lit books (now in Target!). Behind all that creativity is a beautiful person and I was fortunate enough to capture that in pictures. The last two are taken at Courtney's family home in Winter Haven and her mother planted those gorgeous trees 30 years ago!! PS. The whites of Kristin's eyes are actually blue, isn't that wild?!
We met again this weekend at Griffith Park! Even thought the observatory was closed we managed to find some great spots overlooking LA and the observatory (Rebel without a Cause was filmed there). Favorite shots...
These are images from a workshop in the desert outside of Los Angeles I went to last week. It was so much fun working with models.
My dear friend Courtney (another Courtney, but this time with a belly)... 32 weeks. Just 8 to go! She thinks she's "HUGE" but she is so little and round, picture perfect mommy-to-be. Congrats to Courtney and David!
Courtney has been waiting a while for her turn, and she made the most of it. We drove around a little alley in Venice Beach and I just love these photos. Those eyes!
My sister came out to LA this weekend for what will be her last visit before we move. So sad that we are moving and leaving paradise, but we sure have loved living here. She was happy to play model and we got some great shots Sunday morning before a full day of brunch, shopping, and movies.

10 photos stitched together. Handheld 1/10 sec f/2.8 at ISO 2,500! Love my D700. LOVE.
Testing out my new baby girl, the Nikon 14-24 f/2.8 ultra wide angle lens..... oooh baby, I love you. Worth every penny!!
Where do sunflowers come from? :) Trying out some new things, like refractions. Harder than I thought it would be, but for my first attempt I like the outcome...
This was an impromptu photo shoot that turned out lovely!! My friend Amy Tan (aka Amy Tangerine) is a huge scrapbooking genius so she will have some new photos to work with. You can keep up with her latest creative ideas on her blog.
