{ The Other Side }

I must dish out some credit. To my clients – you amaze me.  Not just for being hands-down awesome, loving, inspirational people, but because of what naturals you have all been in front of the camera!

Yesterday I asked Scott to take some headshots for me (for a new project I’ve been working on which will be unveiled very very soon!) and I was reminded of how different it is being on the other side of the camera. I kept yelling at Scott “make me laugh!” and then he would make a fart joke or two that would successfully leave me in stitches (I’m really quite easy to entertain) and he was able to take a couple shots before I ran out of ideas of what to do with myself again.

Just wanted to post a couple shots because the images that Scott was able to produce from my initial awkwardness reminded me of how lucky I am to have him as my second shooter. He was being so conscious of the light (which was absolutely GORGEOUS btw), the surroundings, and what he could say to make me relax. I ended up having a lot of fun and again, does the light get any yummier than this?

And while Scott was getting that above shot, I managed to get a couple of him too. Bet you didn’t see THAT one coming.

Up next – a couple awesome weddings and hopefully the big unleashing!

{ Makeover }

It’s the same feeling as the one you get after a much-needed haircut. A little excited, a little nervous, but above all totally refreshed. It was definitely about time my blog got a little TLC and a fresh new look. In addition to a general aesthetic overhaul, I changed some of the side bars to hopefully make it more user-friendly and easier to navigate! I’m still working out a few of the kinks, but I just couldn’t wait to debut the new design!

But this is only the beginning of the fun. There is another exciting project in the works which hopefully I can unleash within the month. Stay tuned and thanks for dropping by!!

{ Crossing Over }

So I did it. I almost did it 3 years ago but somewhere along the way was smitten by a cute little Sony Vaio and therefore, it never happened. To be honest, I wasn’t ready then. But I am SO ready now.

Say hello to my new bebe:



The MacBook Pro. Shiny, sleek, speedy, and full of bright colors that I just can’t get enough of. And was anyone else as excited as I was about the welcome video that plays when you turn it on for the very first time? My mind thought “I’m never going to get to see this again”, my hand reached for my camera, and before I knew it, I had taken a picture of the welcome video. Yes I did.

In other news, I rented the 70-200mm 2.8 IS lens this weekend and got to play with it a bit. It is definitely next on my (neverending) list of lenses to buy. It was sharp, focused lightening fast, and didn’t snap my arm in two, which is totally what I was expecting from the behemoth of a lens. Below are just a couple shots I grabbed with it in Downtown Culver City (had dinner at Ugo – their dessert selection is mindblowing!)

 



So close! It’s like I can touch them!



I think this last one was taken with my 50 mm but just wanted to include it since it reminds of how crisp and beautiful Saturday morning was, and how summer is right around the corner! It’s going to be an exciting couple of months and I’ll do my best (better than I have been doing hopefully) of posting it all up on here!
