Lindy and Jason : A Savannah Engagement

Posted on May 14, 2013 by admin

Earlier in the month, I traveled across the country to Savannah, GA to photograph a wedding (that blog post is coming soon!). While I was in town, I squeezed in two engagement shoots on top of the wedding because I’m an over-achiever and I could not bear to go a day without taking advantage of the awesome locations that Savannah has to offer.

Lindy, a good friend of mine who was one of my go-to models when I was studying photography at SCAD, got engaged to her best friend Jason back in March, so of course I demanded I take her engagement photos! There was so much thought put into this shoot, I may as well have been doing a high production fashion shoot!

The three of us spent the entire day together and went all over town, from the beach to historic downtown.

We started at a delicious and beloved breakfast spot, The Breakfast Club. Then we headed to Wormsloe Plantation, which you may recognize from this famous scene in Forrest Gump.

Afterwards we stopped by the Savannah Candy Kitchen for some sweet treats. We discovered some unique locations in the gardens of the SCAD Museum of Art and I was able to see the amazing venue at Ships of the Sea Museum where their reception will take place next year.

THEN We stopped by Mabel’s Cupcake Emporium for some of the yummiest cupcakes ever and took our loot over to Forsyth Park for a picnic.

Phew! It was a long day but I had an amazing time and I can’t wait to be a part of their wedding! It will be the party of the year! Congratulations, you two!

At Least I Can Always Get My Dog to Pose for Me

Posted on April 1, 2013 by admin

One thing I’m learning quickly as I build my business is plans can change. I originally had three photoshoots planned for this weekend and one by one this week they all fell through.

Luckily, I still got to get in some good camera practice in with my dog, Olive. She’s always willing to strike a pose. That is, if I have something for her in return.

Behold, the power of bacon treats.

Downtown LA + Disney Concert Hall Honeymoon Session : Paula and Carlos:

Posted on March 25, 2013 by admin

Newlyweds Paula and Carlos were visiting LA from Chile, and while they were in town they wanted a photo session to remember their stay. I met Paula through a good friend and incredible photographer, Matei, after she contacted him a few weeks ago looking for an LA photographer. Matei was out of the country while she was here, and he kindly referred her to me, because I’m cool and stuff, too. Friends helping friends.

Paula and Carlos decided they wanted to take pictures somewhere with incredible architecture. LA has a ton of stunning architecture, but no where quite compares to Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA. So that’s where we met.

You’ll be able to tell from the photos that these two are very much in love. I hardly had to direct them at all– all those kisses, twirls, laughs and moments came naturally. Paula and Carlos had a great sense of humor, too. I asked them to kiss each other just once, and they said, “Now that we’re married, we don’t do that anymore.” Hilarious!

Congratulations Paula and Carlos on tying the knot and thank you for meeting up with me to take these pictures. I had so much fun!

Los Angeles Family / Newborn Session : Charlotte June

Posted on February 27, 2013 by admin

Last week I had the joy of photographing my friends Sarah and Chip and their beautiful two month old Charlotte June! I couldn’t have asked for a better behaved baby. At first she was very confused as to why this strange lady had a camera in her face, but it wasn’t long before she was hamming it up for the camera! It was a beautiful sunny and warm day in LA, so after some nap time shots we took a walk to a nearby playground to finish out the photo shoot.

I’d like to thank Chip and Sarah for opening up their home to me and allowing me to climb all over their furniture and dress up little Charlotte in various outfits, baskets, blankets and buckets. I had a blast!

CLB Meets A Real Housewife

Posted on December 1, 2012 by admin

In early November I got a phone call from a good friend who works for Star Magazine. She needed a photographer to shoot their Thanksgiving spread with “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Lisa Vanderpump. I immediately said yes. (Side note: I just wrote that like I was all cool about it and stuff but in reality I screamed YESYESYES into the phone before I even knew what the project was. It was the opposite of cool.)

Fast forward a week and I was shooting a Thanksgiving spread at Lisa’s restaurant Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills. The meal came complete with turkey sliders, a bacon covered turkey, squash soup, and pumpkin crumble. It took a lot of restraint not to eat it all the second it hit the table. You can find these recipes and more on TheDivineAddiction.com!

Lisa and her husband Ken were super down to earth, funny, and really easy to work with. Lisa is a natural in front of the camera, and very hands on when it came to presentation. Villa Blanca lets in amazing natural lighting which led to clean, crisp pictures. We even had a visit from a TMZ tour bus, where everyone was excited to see Ms. Vanderpump but even more excited to see adorable little Giggy, Lisa’s fashion forward Pomeranian.

Now that the magazine is off news stands I’m so happy that I am able to share the pictures with all of you! So here are some of my favorites, along with the published spread. I’m so thankful that I had this opportunity! Thank you so much to Star Magazine, Lisa Vanderpump, Ken Todd, Giggy, Chef Francis Dimitrius, and everyone who had a hand in putting this spread together. It was so much fun!

Call Me Casey

Posted on September 11, 2012 by admin

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.
