Ethan’s Balboa Bar Mitzvah

September 26, 2008 – 12:18 am

Last weekend I photographed Ethan’s Bar Mitzvah.  I’ve done portraits of Ethan a few times in the past so it was fun to be a part of such a big day in his life.  He did a great job of speaking and reciting his Hebrew during the service.  It always impresses me to see a thirteen year old get up in front of a crowd with such confidence.  

Ethan did a great job and it was quite obvious how serious he was about this sacred rite of passage.  His mom and dad were beaming with pride!

After the service, it was on to the party which was held down in Newport at the Balboa Bay Club, right on the sand.  It couldn’t have been a more beautiful evening to be outside and on the water.  The DJ’s were from H2H, who never disappoint!  I heard more than one person say that this was one of the best parties they had ever been to!  So I put together a slideshow below with some highlights of the celebration.  Congratulations Ethan and thanks for letting me be a part of your big day!

Alex In Old Town

September 21, 2008 – 1:23 pm

The other day I met up with Alex to do a portrait session in the Orange Circle.  Along with being a soccer player and a black belt in karate, she is also a song writer!  Which is where I come in.  Some of her music has been recorded and is being shopped around a bit, so she needed some shots of her to go with her publicity package.  As you can see from the photos, she is a total natural in front of the camera.

I didn’t notice at the time, but her eyes match the background on the right perfectly!

I had a blast hanging out with Alex and learning more about her music.  You get the feeling that there are big things ahead in her future!

Amy’s Senior Portraits

May 19, 2008 – 8:42 am

Last week I had the privilege of photographing a true celebrity.  At least she is a celebrity in my daughter’s and millions of other kids eyes in the near future.  Amy is a senior in high school and she has recently started a new job as Ariel at Disneyland!  With her smile, perfect complexion and green eyes, she is going to be a great mermaid!  So I met Amy and her mom and we headed down to Laguna and took some shots around town, and ended up down on the beach.  

This was the very first shot out of my camera.

  Thanks Amy and Ann for making my job so easy!  I had a great time hanging out with you guys and I’m looking forward to showing you the rest of you photos.

Bailey in Laguna Beach

April 29, 2008 – 11:27 pm

This afternoon I headed down to Laguna to meet up with Bailey and her mom to take some nice portraits.  I am shooting Bailey’s Bat Mitzvah this summer, so we thought it would be fun to have some new pics of her before her big day!  

On the left, Bailey with some new friends, and then catching up on some light reading…

Such a great natural smile :-)

The sun peeked out for about 5 minutes!

It was great hanging with you today Bailey!  You did an awesome job and I’m really looking forward to the big party!
