Aja and Dustin – Chinatown

Oh, how excited I was for this shoot.  The colors!  The architecture!  The beautiful couple!  When I got downtown in the morning on Saturday, I couldn’t have asked for a better location.  The sun was perfect and the Central Plaza was quiet.  Shooting early is definitely the way to go!

Aja and Dustin were willing to meet me bright and early, and they looked like supermodels.  I had a really great time meeting them and taking their pictures, it was so hard to decide on a final edit.  Between meeting me early and running on the platform of the subway to get “the shot,” they were more than great sports.

I’d like to also thank the Los Angeles Chinatown Business Council and Chinatown FilmBridge for allowing me to use Central Plaza for my pictures.

And a HUGE thank you to my beautiful models Aja and Dustin!

Double Trouble

We babysat Olive’s sister Laika this weekend.  There was a lot of energy happening in my apartment. A lot.

I really wanted to take the girls to the Hollywood dog park to get that energy out, but that didn’t happen once we stepped outside.  It was about 1,000 degrees this past weekend.  And I don’t know about you, but being outside in heat like that is just the worst.  High temperatures also increase the chances for short-nosed dogs to overheat, and dead dogs are like, not as fun as the alive ones.  Laika’s owners probably wouldn’t have been too happy with me.

So, we spent the day in air conditioning, playing with toys and running around like crazies.  I was able to get the girls to sit still long enough for a few pictures.  Treats were involved.

Now that Laika is safe and home and not at all overheated, we are all enjoying a lazy Sunday. Olive is catching up on some Zzz’s.

Good Morning, Hollywood!

Good morning!

Most mornings in Los Angeles are pretty perfect.  The weather is cool, the sun is out.  As difficult as it is pulling my lazy butt out of bed, it’s always worth it.

I brought the camera on our walk this morning.  Despite Olive’s hatred for walking anywhere that doesn’t end in the pet store, I managed to get some decent pictures in during the hour.  These, of course, snapped between the regular routine of telling Olive to sit several times.  My dog listens well, but only for brief spurts of time.  She will sit all of 2 seconds before something distracts her.

And then there’s the constant pulling in the direction of our home. The pulling specifically leads to the sun spot on the bed.  You know, the exact opposite of exercise and fresh air.

I watch The Dog Whisperer on a daily basis.  My dog cannot be whispered 99% of the time.

Luckily, the camera behaved itself.  I shot these with a Canon 7d on a 50mm 1.4 lens.

Don’t call me maybe.

Now that you’re done LOL-ing from how hilarious that was, allow me to introduce myself.  Hi.  I’m Casey.  I’m a photographer, writer, painter, day dreamer, entrepreneur, and mommy to Olive: the coolest French Bulldog/ Boston Terrier/ living-embodiment-of-a-5-hour-Energy-drink mix ever known to man.  I am based in Los Angeles but I absolutely love to travel.

So how does this roll into what I do? Well, I majored in Photography from SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) in 2008 and have worked in the photo industry ever since.  I decided in 2012 to embark on my own business journey and here you have CLB Creative.  I love taking pictures using natural light.  I photograph couples, pets, weddings, families, and pretty much everything and anything else you can think of.   And since I don’t like being boxed into one specific category of “artist,” I also am an illustrator, painter, and storyboard artist in my free time.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me!  I’d love to hear from you.  And maybe we can work together and be friends and eat cookies.
