Last week I got to spend the afternoon at the stunning Fuller Estate on Clancy Lane in Rancho Mirage, CA. Rick wanted some casual photographs of him and his beautiful family enjoying some of his favorite spots around his home. From the high arches in the foyer to the canopy of roses in the backyard and into the chilled depths of his personal wine cellar, this home never ceased to impress me! My photographic tour was guided by Rick, his beautiful fiancé, Coleena, her mother, and his lovely daughter, Danielle. It was so nice meeting all of you and thank you again for welcoming me into your gorgeous home!

This stunning lady is graduating from Loyola Marymount University this spring! I met Jessica my freshman year and was first taken aback by her beauty but quickly became even more fond of her kind spirit and fun-loving attitude. She wanted a simple session in nature so we headed down to one of my favorite locations at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA and combined the lush greenery with the rocky ocean shore. I really love how these photos capture the simplicity of both the location and her personality! Stay tuned for many more portrait shoots - it's graduation season!
Nick and I met through mutual friends at USC during my senior year and he's remained a good friend ever since. He'll be graduating from the USC Davis School of Gerontology this spring and I was thrilled to have him pose for my first senior portraits of the season! We strolled along campus right as the sun was setting and incorporated the beautiful architecture that USC is famous for.
We both agreed that the traditional "cap and gown" wardrobe was a bit outdated and went with some of his favorite pieces and the simple sash. This personal touch is definitely my favorite way to go about taking graduation portraits! I think that it is important to incorporate your unique personality and really capture who you were during your college (or high school!) years. Justin and Sarye got married on Valentine's Day weekend in Palm Desert, CA and there couldn't have been more romance in the air! I was lucky enough to capture their love on video and put together this film for them just in time for their one month anniversary. Congrats, Justin & Sarye!I can finally let it out! My beautiful sister Nikki is expecting her second baby - & it's a GIRL! Baby girl Sydney is due in May & I cannot WAIT to meet my first little niece!
Zach and Katie were that couple in high school that everyone knew would eventually tie the knot. So you can imagine my excitement when they not only announced their engagement but asked me to be their photographer! These two lovebirds are the epitome of soul mates with over 7 years under their belt at the age of 23! The comfort and ease of this shoot made me only more excited for their October wedding in Palm Desert. Congrats, guys!
I have been shooting with Jessica Draven since before I was sixteen and able to drive to actually meet her in person. We go way back to the days of MySpace and ModelMayhem, where we met and shared similar artistic interests. Of the countless shoots that we have done over the past six years, this recent desert shoot tops my list. Models: Jessica Draven & Erica Nagashima
