Sneak Peek: The First Look

The first look is probably the easiest time to capture genuine and natural images. I love that moment when the bride is a few steps from the groom: The anticipative butterflies of the groom, the sweet smile of the bride. It's almost like walking down the aisle twice.


The First Look - Angel and Daniel, Pasadena

And a bonus sneak speek: I loved the idea of having orange trees on the Caltech campus. How convenient when you need your vitamin C's.

Laguna Niguel Eshoot with Liz and Bob


Laguna Niguel, California.

I could not ask for more beautiful skies in Southern California for a photoshoot. The rain came and went, and so did the sun. In the end we were left with amazing clouds and gorgeous blue skies. Having traveled from Boston to do the shoot, Liz and Bob wanted to show the best of Southern California and I think we captured it that day. Here are a few of my favorites:










This was the most difficult shot to get. It was handheld on a slow shutter speed to capture the motion of the water streaming in.

Jahliz - R&B Singer

I recently worked with R&B singer songwriter "Jahliz" for her promo shots and album cover in Newport Beach. When Juliette first called me over the phone, she was so excited because she was finally taking the first steps towards her dreams. She was just signed and was already working on tracks for her debut album, "Transformation," a title describing the improvements she has made and continue to make to both of her physique and state of mind through hard work, dedication, and self-belief. After doing some research, what impressed me the most about her was her appearance on Showtime at the Apollo where she impressed the notoriously critical audience and had them dancing on their feet with her amazing vocals.

This photo of Juliette was recently published in the popular Filipino newspaper Balita.
