when we did am’s headshots, her coat/shirt combo was so flattering, i had to get some shots with her wearing it, too. perfect for when she wants to submit for a role that mentions cold + wintry + brrr. email alej
environmental portraits showcasing the natural beauty of graduating seniors

while i’m posting photos of products, i thought i’d include what i call our “mini-albums.” these little 4by4 albums come in pairs, each with their own designer bag, and are intended for sharing your photos on the go. they fit perfectly in even a small purse so you’re ready to show anyone, anytime. or you...

a sneak from sn’s portrait session yesterday in the beautiful los angeles woods! we shot at noon so the light was really harsh and high in the sky which is normally not considered ideal for portraits. but i think using that light can be so fun! if you can believe it (which you should because it’s true)...
