What I am Up to...

Re Visiting Michael Brooks

Thu, 9 Sep 2010 16:27:49 -0700

Back in May I photographed Michael and due to his show “Dance Your Ass Off” (a show in which contestants dance and lose weight as they go!!) which was filming at the time I was not allowed to disclose his images since he was a finalist. Michael was 1 out of many contestants that successfully lost weight and was able to keep it off!
Not only can this man dance, but he is the sweetest person ever!
Here are a few shots from our shoot!

Brian White's Wedding

Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:19:35 -0700

I had the honor of shooting a magical moment between two beautiful people who sealed their love! I am a complete sucker at capturing those glances, those cute looks, those moments that make you sigh, that come and go and may never be duplicated without its genuine intent!
To capture Brian’s love story, a story that will for ever remain immortal was a true honor for me! Images that will be remembrances of the beginning of a life together! I am humbled and there is nothing more beautiful than reliving that day and having pictures taking you back to those same feelings!!
I must confess that weddings are not my favorite lol BUT after my first shoot with Brian and meeting Paula (his now gorgeous wife) and becoming friends, well lets just say that those two when together its hard to not want to carry the camera with you and keep snapping! LOL So when I was asked I was flattered, humbled and excited. the rest is history! :)

Here are a few other shots...

Masiela Lusha

I had the awesome privilege to shoot Masiela Lusha who made her film debut in the 2000 film A Father's Love, as Lisa, the lead who reminisces about her experiences with her father. In 2003, she landed the role of Carmen Lopez on the sitcom, George Lopez. Since then she writes and produces! She has amazing surprises coming ahead!!! I am disclosed to secrecy AGAIN! sorry! But nevertheless you will hear her name and see her face everywhere very very soon! :)
She was a doll and soo much fun! She takes easy direction and then some! The above shot was naturally lit and used a reflector! She is gifted and gorgeous can shoot her wrong even if I tried! LOL every angle was fresh and filled with emotion! It was perfect!!
We shot at the Hollywood Towers (thanks Andi Wallace)

San Jose Group Agency: American Fam Insurance

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 10:33:38 -0700

I shot the print ad campaign for American Family Insurance along side the filming of the commercial at the Warner Bros. Ranch. I had the pleasure of shooting alongside a very talented cinematographer Declan Quinn who’s shot loads of films that we are all very familiar with!!! He is the cinematic eye behind films such as “Pride and Glory, Rachel Getting Married, Cold Creek Manor, In American, 28 Days”.....and soooo many more!!! It was a pleasure working with him!
This day was long but very insightful and the agency producers and creative directors are absolutely awesome! I can’t be thankful enough for being blessed and being so fortunately surrounded by great people all the time!!! :)
