They are such a kind and inviting couple. Extremely glad that we got connected and to have booked them for my first wedding here on the west coast. I met them through a mutual friend that works with Leah at an incredible company called TOMS. This shoot is a top 3 for sure. The weather and lighting was perfect. And, the views were unreal.

Take me back to this weather and these views! The trips to LA have served a great purpose. I’ve been motivated and challenged to continue to push myself as an artist. And, while I’m there I am overwhelmed with the number of opportunities to create, experiment and grow. Hope you like this assortment of photos.

Nick is an actor/model that I was connected with by way of a mutual photographer friend, Christian Rios. Christian was clutch in helping me to pull this shoot together in such a short amount of time. Like 45 minutes short. I had a test shoot booked with another person that day, but she had to cancel last minute because she booked a job. Thankfully Nick was available to step in as a replacement and he was awesome! I’m really glad this shoot came together.

Check out the blue Jeep…how awesome is that ride! This is the beginning of many more lifestyle shoots to come. I’m working on building my portfolio in that area. Stay tuned for more!

The iPhone camera can only do so much. Here is a hodgepodge of sorts that I captured as I wandered throughout various neighborhoods in LA. I appreciate the previous comments! Keep them coming.
