Naveen came by the studio early this morning for a few corporate portraits. The photos needed to match photographs taken of other employees by other photographers. When we were done with the corporate photos, I asked her if she wanted a few more photos done in my more contemporary style; that’s what we ended our session with today.

The Walker family asked me over to their home again for a family portrait session. The boys are sure getting big! Look for one of these photos on a holiday card coming soon!

This morning I met Joe, Robin, and their two boys at the Santa Monica Pier for a fun beach portrait session. And although it was super foggy, I think we captured some great images. What do you think?

VaNisha contacted me recently about a Los Angeles portrait shoot for East Cleveland gangsta rapper T.L. For those of you who follow my work, you know I’m all about photographing happy smiling people. But when T.L. told me he wanted to look hard, I put aside my jokes and shot him … hard.

Although it’s been several years since their last visit, Renee and her family returned to my Los Angeles studio for another portrait session — this time with a new addition! Although family portraits with very young children can often be challenging, this session was a treat!

Matt Sullivan came by the studio early this morning for a few fitness model photographs. Matt is the General Manager and a fitness trainer at Fitness Together in Pasadena, California (155 West Green Street, Pasadena, CA 93132). Matt needed a portrait for their new brochure and I was happy to take a few snaps for him. The first photo below is for the corporate brochure. The second photo is for his mother. Isn’t Matt a considerate son?

Robin came by my studio bright and early this morning for a few casual portraits. As a Los Angeles portrait photographer, my job can sometimes be difficult. That wasn’t the case today. Robin was a real pleasure to photograph and super sweet. And I was really pumped to discover that she’s a "real" rocket scientist. She’s actually working on an x-ray telescope project for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena. But for me, that translates to "rocket scientist." Check out these portraits and let me know know which one you like best!

Carmen Perez came by my Los Angeles studio this morning looking for a few fresh headshots. And boy did she come ready to look mad hot! In case you didn’t know, Carmen’s red hot dance single Emergency is currently #10 on the UK’s pop charts. It also hit the Top 40 on the Billboard Club Play Dance Chart and made it to #5 on PerfectBeat.com in its second week. As her headshot photographer, it wasn’t difficult to get a few great photos!

Jeni and Monica dropped by the Los Angeles studio today to check out our space. Since they were here, I talked them both into sitting down for a few minutes for a quick portrait. Here are THEIR picks from our brief session. Although I’m primarily a wedding photographer, I always enjoy grabbing a few fabulous portraits on Fridays.

Anne is awesome! And I feel privileged that she came to my Los Angeles studio last Sunday for a casual and relaxed portrait session. Here are a few of my favorites from our session.
