Meet Pinot & Grigio. I met these cute pups recently while photographing their family for a Christmas card. After being rescued from a puppy mill, they were adopted by Sean & Pattie.
The pups had lots of energy for the photoshoot & did a great job! I'm sure they will enjoy Christmas in their new home.
The holidays are fast approaching! For those looking for a one of a kind gift that will last forever, a new trend in photography fits the bill. Printing photographs onto canvas is one of the hottest new trends.
Your image will be printed on museum-quality canvas and hand stretched onto a custom-built, 1.5" thick wooden frame. The image will be gallery wrapped, continuing around all sides of the frame for a beautiful print. Canvas prints are ready to hang on your wall, no additional framing is needed.
A variety of sizes are available to fit your needs. In addition to standard sizes, any size you desire can be produced. Custom sized canvas prints are a great way to fill a large wall space in your home.
Canvas prints make great holiday gifts for family members! Contact the studio for more information.
Recently I photographed Lisa & Frank. Lisa has been a commercial client of mine for several years, and I was honored to take their portrait. What a great couple! There were lots of smiles and lots of laughs during the session. Here are two of my favorites from that morning.
My latest assignment for Urban Animal introduced me to Laura, Mike & Victoria along with their three dogs Rusty, Sam & Praline. As you can tell from all the wagging tongues, the photo shoot took place on a hot afternoon! You can read about their family in the Fall issue, which is out now.
I always enjoy working with Urban Animal. The families I photograph have adopted animals from rescue groups & share their heartwarming stories with me. Urban Animal always features lots of furry four-legged friends looking for their forever home. If you are looking to adopt an animal check out their latest issue.
Recently I photographed Kady & Ethan. Here are two of my favorite pictures from that afternoon. They are great kids and always so much fun to photograph!
When I received my latest assignment for Urban Animal which involved photographing a family with 4 dogs I'll admit I was a bit worried. With animals you never know what will happen so I figured the chances of all 4 sitting still & posing nicely at the same time were slim. So I came up with Plan B, and a Plan C, just in case. Turns out I didn't need a backup plan! Holly & Don were prepared with peanut butter hors d'oeuvres that the dogs just loved. Ferne, Squirrel, Buster Keaton, and Trooper are all such sweet dogs. They did a great job sitting still & posing for the camera. You can see them in Part of our Family in the summer issue of Urban Animal.
I have been meaning to post this for a while. During our visit to Santa Monica last year I persuaded my reluctant husband to visit the Camera Obscura with me. He wondered what on earth I was getting him into as it's located in a senior center, but in the end he admitted it was pretty cool. It is a pitch dark room with a large, round white table in the middle. There is a periscope on the roof of the building that captures the scene outside. The reverse image of the scene is projected onto the table. The periscope can be turned with a crank, allowing you a 360 degree view of outside. It is located close to the pier, so the projection of the beach was really cool. We both ended up taking some pictures of the projection. The camera obscura was originally used as a drawing aid.
