I’m back from my trip to DC for Obama’s inauguration. It really was an experience! I was gone for five days and spent two nights in Baltimore and two nights in Washington DC.
I met my aunt and her family in Baltimore. We went to a friend’s house for brunch on Sunday afternoon where I took...

Before the Inauguration: Baltimore
Wedding: Kevin and Chris
Kevin and Chris were married last September, before the passage of Proposition 8. This was a beautiful ceremony in Pasadena at the Eden Garden Bar and Grill (formerly Holly Street Bar and Grill). I was crushed that Proposition 8 passed in California and will be following all of the legal action that attempts to reverse...
Portraits: Nicole
I took these photos of Nicole a few months ago; she recently graduated from high school and is interested in pursuing a career as a model. She certainly has the looks and the height! I’m not used to other women towering over me, since I am 5′9″ and taller than most women I meet.
Nicole was...
New Blog and New Website!
I’m very excited about my new website and new blog. I now have a custom-designed html site that makes use of Flash slideshows but is not an all Flash site. This probably doesn’t mean much to non-techy people – and a year ago I couldn’t have cared less about html vs. Flash sites – but...
Happy Holidays!
I went to the Mission Inn in Riverside with a friend to view their Festival of Lights. It was the perfect way to spend the day after Christmas.
Here’s wishing everyone a great new year!
Portraits: Jen and Richard Maternity Photos
I met Richard at AFI – the American Film Institute – back when I was an aspiring screenwriter. I was honored that Richard asked me to take maternity portraits of him and his wife, Jen. Jen was about eight months pregnant when we took these photos; since then Jen and Richard have welcomed a healthy...
Tips: Pogue on Photography
David Pogue is the technology columnist for The New York Times, and one of my favorite geek guys. I have a few books from his Missing Manual series and am a great fan of the way he makes technology accessible to the technologically challenged.
His latest post is about digital photography, and it has some helpful...
Portraits: Blended #17
I met Annemarie through Mike and Candice, another couple that I photographed for my multiracial portrait project. Annemarie and her husband, Adam, live in Sherman Oaks with their two very adorable sons. We took these pictures in Oxnard, California.
Portraits: Blended #16
Tanya is another friend from UCLA. She currently lives with Jacob in Berkeley, California. We took these pictures four months ago (yes, I am very behind in my blogging) when Tanya was about six months pregnant. She and Jacob have recently welcomed their new son into the world.
We took these pictures in the SOMA district...
New Logo – Third Time’s a Charm?
I would make a terrible interior designer – first painting the walls white, then dark gray, then bright yellow. But it’s so much fun changing the colors of my website!
I have experimented with different looks and color combinations, but I know this one is going to be it for a while. I love yellow and...
