Hunter Mariano | CD Release Concert

It's been an absolute blessing for my family to know and develop relationships with some of the most talented musicians in our church community, including Hunter Mariano. His new CD titled "Blink Of An Eye" was released this past fall. I was happy to photograph the release concert in our home church at Harvest in Riverside, CA.

Shoots | Gino + Yvette

Besides a good sushi roll and perfect hair color our conversations come back to photos and how fun it would be to get in front of my camera. Yvette is my fabulous hair stylist, storyteller, and friend. We spend hours together throughout the year talking, laughing, and dreaming...one of them being a photo shoot and I have been looking forward to this day ever since.






Aren't they CUTE? I love the chemistry between them...so much, we're already planning on a double date soon.




We stopped in at their favorite spot for drinks. It's where they like to visit and catch up by the cozy fire after a long week. So fab.

We ended the afternoon in an outdoor mall area where I snapped this shot of Gino looking swag...

Thank you both for the pleasure of working with you and a day to remember, cheers!

Senior Session | Justin

Off to downtown LA we went to capture some fun senior portraits for my good friend, Justin, who is a student at Ontario Christian High School. The weather behaved perfectly with a warm 70 degrees and to my surprise, hardly any traffic.


We looked for gritty urban backdrops...



...along with landscaped courtyards and fountains. We also came across an interesting Bansky art sketch in an alley only to find parked cars blocking most of the view for our use.

We ended our shoot by seeing who could eat the hottest buffalo wings. I lost.

All in all, we had a good time seeing LA with all it's colorful sides.

Justin, thank you for being a good sport. I know your future is bright because you have many friends and family cheering you on!
