The JOURNAL

Harry Potter Jargon and loooots of pictures to follow… beware… It was back in December 2009 when Christopher and I sat down one night to watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first of the very popular children’s series. As the plot began to unfold, Harry Potter experienced Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, […]

I was always the sassy troublemaking staff member at Junior Winter Camp. Alissa was the sweet one whom everyone loved to pieces. Billy Jack was the boss man. Every year Billy Jack’s March birthday fell during Winter Camp season and every year we, as good staff peeps should, threw him a birthday celebration after all […]

I get stressed…. I don’t know if you can relate. There’s so much I want to do perfectly, so much I want to accomplish. Life’s scary sometimes. I get stressed. Do you get stressed? I get stressed. A couple days ago, my stress got the best of me and I found myself out of breath […]

Two of my very good friends got married yesterday. After taking the morning to rest, I’m looking through all the images from yesterday and I have tears in my eyes. I had a conversation with Alissa’s mom yesterday about weddings… about how my job is to document love…. and how I couldn’t wish for a […]

Today’s my birthday. Birthdays are odd when you get older… it’s kind of like a bittersweet thing knowing that you’re not who you were a year ago. On one hand, you’re excited for what lies ahead in the next year of your life… and on the other hand, it’s scary getting older. This year, my […]

Larry’s been in the family since the very beginning of my mom’s career as a therapist. Way back when, he IQ tested my sister when she was like 3 to make sure she wasn’t dumb (Just kidding… he did it for a bit of research he was doing for work… and she’s a ridiculously intelligent […]

I used to be taller than him. Really though… at one point in knowing Chris Brown, I was taller than him. I mean, it was like 5 years ago, BUT STILL! It was a glorious time in life. But at some point, he grew like 10 feet over night and totally passed me up in […]

I know, I know… it’s been a whole week since I last blogged. I have lots to share in the coming weeks from the many different shoots I’ve been doing. But today I wanted to share something with you…. Last night I photographed The Good Kids in concert at the House of Blues in Anaheim. […]
