Center Theater Group

 

April 26th 2011, Center Theater Group hosted a mixer for English Teachers in the Los Angeles area to open up the option of introducing Theater and the Arts back into their studies sponsored by Chase and CakedLA at the Kirk Douglas Theater in Culver City. Since California's huge budget cuts, there is no room for creative learning and so that's why I was very greatful to be a part of this event.

      

Immediately following the event, The Cripple of Inishmaan play had begun! All actors were from Ireland and the accents were heavy and true to spirit! (click here for more information on the play)

Silly me of course! Adios!

SLS Distributors Fashion Show

This was my 1st Men's Wear fashion line I ever shot and it was definitely different from women's clothing. (very low key, with snacks and a hand full of staff preparing the models)

The designer Stefan and I decided to do a mini shoot before the show to catalog the looks for his website (http://www.slsdistributors.com/)

Some of the male models for SLS Spring line 2011

Love the clothing, great models and staff! I had a blast at Micky's Nightclub n West Hollywood!

Our team was fantastic!! Kami Shade's daughter helped change the models for the catalog and website images.

Tala is a true model, in attitude and professionalism! She's one of the few Persian models in LA and not to mention, an eye catcher!

My Favorite 

Thank you Kami, Jeremy, Dari, and Tala! We created some beautiful looks.

Benjamin's 1st Birthday

April 3rd 2011 Jennifer and Mark celebrated their son's Dohl with family and friends in Pasadena, CA (http://www.korean1stbirthday.com/ for more information regarding "doljabi" a Korean 1st birthday tradition)

This day was perfect! After all the rain storms had passed, the sky and grass were insanely vibrant! A couple hours into the party, it was time for Benjamin to decide his future!

He instantly played with the rice even though there was a lot to choose

As many of you do not know, I have a sweet tooth (like a fat kid and cake). This cake was the BEST I've tasted in a while. French Butter Cream! I hope Benjamin had some too

Attempting to blow out the candle while guests gather around 

Eventually Benjamin started to get tired so I had to bug him a little more before he could pass out. Thank you so much Jennifer and Mark! I had a great time being a paparazzi with all the babies and children candid shots  :)

I had his rice cake, I'm sorry Benjamin!!

One of my favorite models

Wednesday I shot with a great model! Sarah Beck has some of the most interesting features (huge green eyes!) and shes a delight to work with, very modest and laid back which makes fantastic images. I know it's spring time but I've never shot a autumn look and thought the location was perfect for the mood.

This weekend I have a shoot Saturday morning and a 1st Birthday Sunday morning and a Men's Fashion Line later that day... very excited to shoot something different for a change (wish me luck!)
