{ Lift Off! }

I could not be more excited to share with you the launch of my new website! It’s been in the makings for awhile, first with random ideas stirring in my head, then lots of research, and finally, hours spent in front of the computer, really trying to make this website the best, most accurate representation of me and my photography. This is something that has been present in my mind from the first baby steps I was taking into my business, and the fact that it’s FINALLY HAPPENING makes me feel so happy and thankful for everything I’ve experienced along the way.  I especially want to thank all the photographers who really lent a selfless hand to me to help me learn and grow, and to all the awesome people who have been following my blog and encouraging me along the way. Thank you!



{ 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!

{ 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!
