Boudoir Shoot at Palms Casino Resort with Brittney Palmer

While in Las Vegas for the annual Wedding Portrait Photographer International WPPI Convention & Trade Show I had the opportunity to participate in a Boudoir photo shoot hosted by Pixels 2 Canvas, After Shutter and Flo Sites at the amazing Palms Casino Resort in the Celebrity Suite. One of our subjects was the stunningly beautiful "X"Burlesque dancer and model Brittney Palmer of Las Vegas. Brittney kept all our cameras working overtime capturing her amazing eyes and flawless skin. She was a good sport dealing with all of us photographing her so many hours and a true pleasure to work with.

Thanks Brittney for being so AWESOME!

Vine Bar Party

I got to photograph a Birthday party that Chef Daniel of Flavors with Love was catering, and got to meet some really great people. Marjorie Goldman was celebrating her husband Larry's birthday at the Vine Bar in Hollywood. They had this amazing jazz band there playing. Ethan on the Bass, Tommy on the Drums and Marty on the keyboard.

Here is a slideshow of some of the images from the great evening I was honored to be apart of, I hope you enjoy them.

Tammy & Spooky Dan Slideshow

This was the most unique weddings I have ever photographed. Tammy and Spooky Dan were married at the Houdini Mansion in Hollywood, CA. The mansion was so incredible, it would take you at least a weekend to truly be able to see it all. It has so many levels and yes that does mean a lot of stairs! But the good thing is my legs are looking much slimmer since the wedding. HA HA! Tammy and Spooky Dan's family and friends we all so great! It was awesome to see so many there to celebrate their totally Gothic union!.

They had corpses sitting in chairs greeting the guests as they arrived, skulls for centerpieces, Guitar Hero set up for all to play on the big screen TV, body parts in the pool, Frankenstein and his bride were on the cake and what made the cake even more unique was. . .it was created by Spooky Dan's Mom!

I had to add that Spooky Dan's Grandma was just too cute, she really got into the whole Gothic wedding thing also and wore all black to the wedding. NOW HOW COOL IS THAT!!!

Here is their slideshow!

Spooky Dan & Tammy's Wedding

Okay, I can't seem to come up with the words to explain how much fun I had shooting Tammy and Spooky Dan's wedding, which was held at the Houdini Mansion in the hollywood Hills. Tammy, Dan and their wedding coordinator Tiffani Sullivan really did an amazing job making this a truly spectacular Gothic wedding. Every detail was covered, the location, decorations, lighting, music, food and of course the totally awesome wedding cake made by Spooky Dan's Mom.

Here are a few images that we took of Tammy and Spooky Dan's wedding where I had the pleasure of being assisted by my husband Bear and the very talented Ricky Mia.

I hope you enjoy them.

Tummy Face

My dear friends Lori & Ed are having a baby, their first child this coming January and I had the honor and great pleasure to be invited to their last 3D ultrasound. Now mind you when I had kids we had nothing like that. This was so TOTALLY COOL to see and be a part of. Lori and Ed are going to be wonderful parents with a great sense of humor as you can see by the special drawing that they put on Lori's tummy prior to the ultrasound.

Lori and Ed I wish you all the best with the arrival of your beautiful baby boy this coming January! I will definitely will be here if you need a babysitter or anything at all.

I love you both so much!!

HUGS & KISSES

Chef Daniel

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of going to Chef Daniel's kitchen and watching he and his staff prepare a wonderful Asian lunch. The wonderful aromas that were filling the kitchen were just amazing. I only wish my images could pass on the amazing smells and flavors that he puts into his food. His company name is rightfully named "Flavors with Love".

Here are a few images from my mouth watering afternoon with Chef Daniel and his staff.

We recently had the pleasure of photographing some of the most sweetest little girls and their Dads at Edison Elementary Schools Father - Daughter Dance.  We had such a great time seeing all the Fathers eyes sparkling as they watched they're daughters and the joy all the girls had having their Dad's all to themselves for one fun filled night.

Here is a little slideshow of a few of the girls and their Fathers.

Hope you enjoy!
