Jazzy Holiday Slideshow


I took Rachel and Angie out to some of my favorite locations on Saturday to take some photos for a holiday slideshow. This year I'm sharing the slideshow with friends and family instead of sending out the usual photo card. I wanted to do something that captured a lot more fun and holiday spirit than is possible with just one photo. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Make sure you turn up the volume for the full 'jazzy cheer' effect!

Old Town Monrovia










Did a little street photography through Old Town Monrovia yesterday morning. It was a cool, gray morning which made the fall colors of the trees stand out that much more. Tough economic times have taken their toll in this beautiful little town as I noticed at least a half dozen vacant stores along Myrtle Avenue. I've always found Monrovia to be a nice alternative to trendy Old Town Pasadena. It's more relaxed with fewer hipsters and has plenty of easy parking. Hopefully it will bounce back.

80s Birthday Party... Like, Totally!









Photographed an 80s themed roller skate birthday party for Ming-Na and Michaela last weekend. So much fun! The retro event was held at the amazing Skateland in Los Angeles. Lots of big hair and spandex. BIG fun for kids and adults alike. I love the 80s and I loved shooting this party. Happy birthday, girls!
