Summer Fashion, Fitness, and Beauty Editorials Published!

Summer is my favorite time of year!  Gorgeous weather, lots of fun weddings to shoot, and new tear sheets to share.  Check out the latest Reinventing Beauty Magazine in CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens nationwide. Thanks so much to our amazing team of models and stylists who made these shoots a success!

Our fashion story was shot deep in an abandoned rock quarry.  Our fearless ladies hiked, scrambled up rocks, and jumped across streams to get to the perfect locations!

Lifestyle Portfolio Shoot

What photographer wouldn’t love the opportunity to do a lifestyle shoot with one of their favorite models? When Flora Wade (MUA), Jen Fellows (Stylist, Photography), Ashley Valenzuela (Model), and Chesley Tolentino (Wardrobe) gave me the chance to shoot for this one, they didn’t have to offer twice! I was like a kid in a candy store: “Me?!? Really?!?!?” Then I eagerly grabbed my camera bag and we set to it.

Ashley is such a sweet girl, but she sure can bring the attitude when she wants to! We hope you enjoy this small sample… look for more on the website to come.

NEW Winter Fashion & Beauty Shoots for Reinventing Beauty

The new winter Reinventing Beauty Magazine is out!  Check it out at CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens nationwide.

This fashion shoot was a lot of fun because it presented a special challenge: How to shoot in Southern California, on location (in 80 degree weather!) and somehow portray a sense of winter.  After a lot of brainstorming, and wishing for snow in San Diego(!), the epiphany of shooting at Disney Concert Hall materialized.  The clean, sleek architecture and slate gray palette set the mood for an icy cold feel, without being too literal.  It is also a perfect compliment to the winter inspired (but not covered head to toe!) wardrobe.  We wanted to show what to wear under the coat, hat and scarf this season to look sexy, stylish, and cool.

Special Thanks to Flora Wade for her amazing hair and makeup, Arekah C for the wardrobe, and Tiffany and Korrina for modeling!

Also featured this issue are the Winter Beauty “Do’s and Don’ts” featuring the stunning Nathalie.  Hair and Makeup by Flora :)

Holiday Hair & Sculpted Arms Fitness Editorials!

Most of the clients I work with know that in addition to shooting weddings and portraits, I LOVE shooting fashion and beauty! As a kid, I loved dressing my friends up, doing their makeup and hair and taking stylish pictures of them.

Getting paid to do the same thing as an adult is pure heaven :)

In November, I had the opportunity to collaborate with 2 beautiful models and Flora Wade (my fave San Diego makeup and hair stylist) to create a Holiday Hair feature for the magazine Reinventing Beauty. The editors gave us total freedom to invent festive hair styles that are holiday party worthy, but easy to do yourself at home. We gave the looks a vintage twist and produced some rockin images! Here are the tears from the winter edition of Reinventing Beauty magazine, available nationwide in CVS stores:

Also in this issue of Reinventing Beauty is a fitness spread featuring one of my gorgeous friends, Rose! (You might recognize her from our Trash the Dress Sand Dunes series!) We were staying with her and her husband Taylor in Colorado when I got the fitness assignment, and she is just so sexy and fit, I begged her to model for me.
