Portraits: The Hamilton Family

I took these photographs of the Hamiltons last summer – in the spirit of spring cleaning I am finally posting them to my blog! It was a lot of fun photographing Richard, Jen, and they’re very happy baby. Who, for some reason, was much more interested in leaves and grass than taking photos. A botanist in the making! We took these photos at Griffith Park in Los Angeles, CA.

Wedding: Jessica and Ramy

I photographed Jessica and Ramy’s engagement party in June and was an assistant photographer for their wedding in July. I mostly helped photograph the bride getting ready, as well as some photography during the reception. AAcreation was the main photographer.

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 baby boy into the world. These photos were taken at Jen and Richard’s home in Los Angeles.

Kelly and Scott were the very first people I photographed for Project Blended back in April. Kelly had a little bump when we took those photos – now her due date is only a few weeks away.

These pictures are from two different sessions, one in late June and one in late July. The photos were taken at Kelly and Scott’s home in Los Angeles.

Portraits: Blended #4

I photographed Mike, Candice, and their son Blake at their home in Los Angeles. As you can see by the pictures, they will soon be welcoming a new member to the family! I met Candice through a friend from Cal Poly Pomona, and took photos at Blake’s first birthday party.

Portraits: Blended #3

Annie and Adam are the third installment in my Blended photography project. I met Annie through a friend several years ago; Annie and I were both in the drumline at UCLA. Her first year was just after my last year, so we never played in the line together but had friends in common and eventually became friends in our own right.

We took these pictures at Annie and Adam’s home in Los Angeles and at the Los Angeles California Mormon Temple.

And their dog, Bella.

Portraits: Blended #1

Kelly and Scott were the first people I photographed for my interracial project, which for now is called Blended. We took the pictures at their new home last Saturday. I’ve known Kelly for, oh, going on 14 years now. Kelly and Scott are expecting their first child, so it’s a very exciting time for them!

Here are a few pictures from the afternoon.
