10 on 10 Collaboration Project, Post 19

Posted on January 10, 2015 by admin

This month I decided to make my 10 on 10 a little different. One night I was trying to find writing inspiration prompts online because sometimes the best inspiration hits when you are doing some stream-of-conciousness writing. So as I was writing down some random phrases in my journal, I thought, “How fun would it be if I could translate these into photos?

So I wrote down some words and phrases and took my camera on a little street photography mission. And that’s when I realized how much street art is in LA, particularly murals. I walked around Hollywood one afternoon and stumbled across so many murals that were within block of each other. So, I started snapping. And I love how the grandness of scale of these murals contrast with the surroundings. I titled each image a mural with one of the phrases I wrote down in my journal.

Walnut Grove Wedding in Moorpark | Shahna and Ryan | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer

Posted on October 16, 2014 by admin

Shahna and Ryan got married at this beautiful venue in Moorpark, and I was so happy to be there to photograph it. I’m pretty sure this day had one of the most epic sunsets of all time — and I don’t use the term “epic” lightly. The day went so smoothly, and I honestly have never had so much fun at a reception as I did that night. It was dance-off after dance-off, this group really knew how to party!

Special thanks to my wonderful second photographer Sara Panman who captured all the moments I missed– I am so grateful I had her talents there with me! All the little details came so perfectly together thanks to the styling talents of Julia Sir Wester (also the talented stylist for Oh Joy!). And of course, it all wouldn’t have gone so smoothly without the help of Mia Bella Weddings.

Thank you Shahna and Ryan for letting me be such a big part of your day!

I can’t believe it has almost been a year of doing this project!

I’m going to be honest, I haven’t had much time last month to take personal photos. However, I have some exciting news! As most of you know, in addition to shooting my own work, during the week I work at Oh Joy! where I wear many hats. One of those hats includes shooting a lot of content for the blog. Basically, it’s the best job ever because some days Joy says, “Casey, can you go get some doughnuts, and then take pictures of the doughnuts, and then we can eat the doughnuts?” Or other times it’s like, “Casey, can you come hang out with my adorable family and take photos for my baby announcement?”

Yeah, it’s a pretty great job.

What’s even greater is we are now in the thick of creating an Oh Joy book, and I’m getting the opportunity to take photos for it! It’s pretty much the coolest/most daunting task I have ever had the privilege to be a part of.

So, this month’s 10-on-10 is dedicated to Oh Joy!, and includes 10 of my favorite photos I took for her blog last month.

10 on 10 Collaboration Project, Post 5

Posted on November 10, 2013 by admin

My boyfriend’s sister is in town this weekend, and we thought the perfect LA thing to do on Saturday was to go to the Silver Lake Farmer’s Market. It’s not only filled with local produce and fresh food, but a great location for eclectic vintage clothes and jewelry. The Silver Lake Art, Craft & Vintage flea market was also happening up the street, so it was a full morning full of thrifting fun, and a great excuse to get in a last-minute 10-on-10.

One of my favorite stands was the Looksy bus filled with both dog and human accessories.

We went home with new sunglasses, an Elvis t-shirt, some fresh goat cheese, and the most delicious sun-dried tomato garlic spread. Not pictured: juicy blackberries that we already demolished (with our mouths).

I can’t believe it has already been a month since the first 10 on 10 post! So much has happened since: I drove up the coast, turned 27, photographed a wedding, went to a family reunion, helped on some fun photo shoots with Oh Joy!, did a juice cleanse, and even made time to see The Conjuring.

The 10 on 10 post for this month is from my family reunion. My grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last month (top that!), so we all got together in Florida to celebrate. Since I live on the opposite coast from my entire family, I don’t get to see them too often. It was so nice to have everyone together, especially in a sunny place where my plate was never empty and the Pina Coladas never ran dry (did I mention the cleanse?).

You get a bonus picture in this 10 on 10 because I like to break the rules. I break rules like I break… dance. I’m also bad at making decisions. And I don’t breakdance.

(I should also mention my Grandma’s name is Rita. That’s why my Grandpa is holding a cocktail napkin with booze on it near her face.)

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.
