Recently I worked with Draya Michelle, designer of Mint Swim to create some new public relations images. We shot a few headshots for her acting, which is taking off. We also shot some images that were requested specifically for People Magazines style section.My Cousin Chase Deville was in town so I had him come to the shoot to assist me. Most of the images were shot with wonderful natural light that was available in her and Orlando Scandrick's house in the hills, all other lighting was crafted with Profoto lighting. I had a great time working with the team to create some great fall looks and a few timeless looks for Mint Swim. 
Tasting Leona...
Before the Grand Opening of Venice's Hot new Restaurant Leona my friend Miriha took me to one of their three tasting events.
We got to taste a variety of delicious items from their Brunch menu.
We also go to sample some stunning sweets.
I definitely suggest visiting next time you are taking a beach day in Southern California.

Recent work with swimwear designer and actress Draya Michelle featured in New York Post.
Goldilocks
In January, I shot a special project with a close friend, Kay. We set out to create images that reflected the journey of a young woman finding herself in the wild world that is Los Angeles. Our inspriation was the story Goldilocks and the three bears, and with Destini Rogers, Kelle, Mugs Opus, and Samara, we created a classic look. Due to some unexpected circumstances it took longer than expected for me to finish this project, more photos to come, and i am also creating a limited edition book of some of my favorite images.
