Dawn | Portrait | Stockton, Ca

Wow, it's been a while since I've seen my friend Dawn from high school. I think it's been six years since I've seen this future psychologist/super model. hahaha. It was good to see you again Dawn. Anyway, we had a little photoshoot around downtown Stockton. My home town--Woot woot!

May Anne

This shoot was with the lovely May Anne who is graduating from UC Davis. It was hard to take a bad picture because May Anne was so pretty. We walked around the UC Daivs campus and I think I wore her out. :-) I had a lot of fun with this shoot. Here's some of my favorites from the day:



















Congratulations on your graduation May Ann! Good luck with grad school!

Model Status: Belle

I've been in Nor Cal for the past two weeks where I have no access to the Internet. Here's a quick one to satisfy those who visit my blog often.

This was a senior session for Belle shot in Davis, California.






Many awesome things have been happening with me, but I'll tell you more about it on my next blog when I get back to L.A.

Studio 239: Redefined

After two years of struggling to find my identity in the photography world, I've made another development towards my growth. I am proud to present a new fresh look to my logo that Sophie Taylor designed for me. I am also excited to announce that I will be launching my new website by the end of next week. So stay tuned in for the launch.

Check out the new branding on this photo of Jeanne:

In the next few weeks, expect to see some cool new work. I am continually searching for and redefining my style. You will be seeing a lot of experimenting. I hope that I can find a style that will distinguish me from other photographers and something that will awe my clients. Thank you for your much needed love and support.
