Yup, she is a dead ringer for Jennifer Aniston, but it is Megan. She is a friend/past bride and fabulous comedian. We did some headshots and portraits at the Brand Library and Griffith Park. Here are just a few of my favorites.. Check back for more next week.

Santa Clarita has little treasures everywhere. Off to the hills, by the Golden Oaks, we did our little shoot out.
Brienne Michelle, photographer and Santa Clarita native (like myself) had so much fun turning the lens around and getting some photography for our websites/headshots. Really a fun time, and terribly hard to be in front of the camera. I have a whole new understanding on how hard it is … I promise to amp up my jokes, and have better distracting stories from now on for my clients.

Such cuteness…

This one is one of my favorites because it is very Brienne. Carrying equipment, her camera and her favorite Starbucks drink… (If you want to bribe her with anything, I heard that gift cards works wonders.)

Playing with the infra-red camera again…. So much fun.

Here is part one of our adventure in Placerita Nature Center.

Brienne Michelle, is usually behind the camera. We got out of our comfort zone and shots some photos for each other. We also decided to shoot some with our ShootSacs (which is a fancy pants lens bag for photographers.)

I will be posting the portraits we did later in the week.

I wanted to shoot some fun shots with my new infra red camera. It is a converted digital camera that shoots all black and white. It is cool beans.

Here is a special little portrait session I did for a very important family. Each of them is super talented artistically and totally got behind my crazy ideas… Like laying down at Griffith Park Observatory to get some fun shots.

I love how everyone has there own personality in this one… And the texture of the bricks is so perfect.

Everyone took their shoes off for this grass shot, and of course the grass is just too long to tell… So I think that the expressions are far more interesting than tall grass.

Yes!! I found an amazing little patch of “fuzzy sunshine” flowers. We rooted around and found a great spot to take photos. This is my new favorite spot. I think I might take all my portraits here…

Thank you so much for sharing your morning with me, and allowing me to be a part of your family reunion for a moment.

Thank you so much for being the best and including in each and every milestone in your life. I can’t wait to take photos of him when he arrives.

So many beautiful portraits to choose from, and I will be posting more later. This lady celebrates all of life and what nature has to offer. I am so grateful for her spirit and insight on this portrait shoot. We were delighted to have a perfectly cloudy day at the beach to capture the true essence of her beauty.

This is just a quicky for her family and friends in Columbia.

Thank you Noelle for the gorgeous hair and makeup.

Both  Vanessa Brooke and Shannon Lee are amazing photographers. I am so lucky to have them in my life for support and friendship… We did a little shoot for each other, and then we broke out the Shootsac, and had a mini model session.

Yay us!
