Well, today’s post officially marks a year of doing the 10 on 10 project with the other photographers all around the country!  Yay!

I’m happy to say that I have decided to continue doing the 10 on 10 post every month, as it keeps me motivated to do my own work.  Although, I’ll admit that I took lots of photos last month, nothing quite made the cut for today’s post.  SO, I’m showing you some more photos from my trip abroad to Amsterdam, Paris, and London.

Take me back. Someone just take me back.

Trash the Dress on El Matador Beach, CA

As a photographer, I’m obsessed with Pinterest.  I get so many ideas and inspiration from Pinterest, and here’s one of them.  I’ve been seeing a trend of Trash the Dress photo shoots pop up a lot on Pinterest lately, and I loved the idea of making a total mess of something pristine.  There’s a lot of beauty in that.

Surprise, not many brides are willing to destroy a dress that they paid so much for.  So I decided to take matters into my own hands and buy a used wedding dress off of Ebay.  I had asked my lovely friend, Amanda, to pose for me.  Serendipitously, the $5 dress fit her like a glove.

We took our shoot to El Matador Beach in Malibu.  We arrived at the perfect time at dusk, and Amanda dug into the sand, rolled around, and got dunked in the waves several times.  She did her job perfectly, and didn’t complain once even though she was soaking wet and covered in sand by the end of it.

I had so much fun doing this, it was something I had wanted to shoot for a while and I was so happy with how it all fell into place.  Thanks Amanda for being a beautiful model!

(PS. I did that hairdo!  I think I could make a second career out of doing crazy updos!)

Los Angeles Family / Newborn Session : Charlotte June

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!

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.
