On Sunday I participated in a fundraiser for a local school, Larchmont Charter West Hollywood. I photographed seven family portraits that day with more than half the proceeds going to benefit the school. I always enjoy helping out in the community and especially contributing to children’s education. And not to mention I had a blast meeting all the families… what a pleasure! Take a look at a few of my favorites from the day below.

On Sunday I went over to the Staat’s home for their yearly portrait session. I’ve been photographing them for the past three years but this year was a little different because they have a new addition to their family… little Jake. Jake is 3 months old and has the best big sister a guy could ask for… Payton. She loves her little brother so much and wants to hold him all the time. They’re so cute! Check out some of the favorites from the day.

On Saturday I met up with Leslie and Damon in Burbank to photograph their wedding. Leslie got ready at the Holiday Inn in Burbank and looked so beautiful. She was absolutely glowing when I arrived… She was gorgeous! For photos, Leslie and Damon decided to see each other before the ceremony so we were able to get a lot of fun shots in the courtyard at the hotel. We had lots of lush greenery and amazing light to play with. Afterwards we headed to the First Christian Church of Burbank for the ceremony. The ceremony was dimly lit with accents of candle light… it was breathtaking. And these two exchanged some of the sweetest vows I’ve ever heard… just so sweet. Then it was time to move on to the reception which was held at La Canada Flintridge Country Club. This place has 180 degree view of the valley below that’s spectacular. It was the perfect place for a throw down night. And that’s exactly what everyone did… What a great party! Congratulations you two and aloha!

Here are a few favorites from the day.

Today I met the MacLean family at the Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA for some family portraits. I love shooting here because you get a little urban flair with a nice garden setting. And not to mention the lighting is always great. We had a lot of fun goofing around and getting some fun pics. Lauren is quite the model and all though she won’t admit it, she loves to have her picture taken. Check out some of her moves below. She is too cute!
