I was going through some stuff after I moved my office into the studio and discovered an old roll of 35mm film, so I took it in to get developed this week & had no idea what was on there… What a find- this roll was taken on mine & Stuart’s first date! He took me to the sandwich shop in La Jolla and then we went to the cliffs over Black’s Beach…. over 10 YEARS AGO! goldmine!
(these are straight out of the camera- no processing)

Be still me heart! Stuart when he was 24 years old… & he just keeps getting hotter…


Below is my fave for sure.




I love those two! They came all the way down from Canada to do this 2 hour session with me. Right before we started, Amey whipped out some tequila shots for us– my kinda peeps! We shot this mostly at Summers Past Farms in east San Diego- then drove around and did the rest of the session in the surrounding area.
** UPDATE ** We just got a mega rad feature of this session on Style Me Pretty by Emilia Jane! Check out lots more pics from this session here. 














I love this one below so much.








Reflected in the little mirror… magical.

Read Aaryn & Paul’s story:
“Paul and I met during Thanksgiving Weekend of 2001, quite innocently on a dance floor in Oxford, England. I was visiting a good high school friend [and future bridesmaid!] who was spending the semester studying abroad. Paul had recently moved from Oxford to London, and was back home visiting a friend for the weekend. He was a graphic designer and doing freelance photography; I was a student in Los Angeles studying both subjects. We traded email addresses and remained pen-pals loosely over a 5 year period. At some point when the stars were finally aligned our communication went from sparse to daily, and soon we knew that we had to be together. We applied for a Fiance Visa and waited over 9 months to get the green-light to have Paul come over so he could marry me and stay while he applied for a green card. On June 20, 2008 we had a tiny ceremony on the roof of my friendʼs
apartment building in West Hollywood. Kate, my bridal dress-maker and bridesmaid, was our minister
,The photos from our first wedding are here.
Things were blissful for months and we began planning a proper wedding ceremony for all our friends and family – when I married Paul neither of my parents had ever met him!! Lucky for me I have great parents, and Paul is a total catch. But then a few months later Paulʼs mother fell ill back in England. Unfortunately for our circumstances we made the compassionate, yet unwise, decision to return to England to try to see her before she passed. Sadly we were unable to accomplish even that, we missed her by only hours while we were on the plane. Due to the nature of Paulʼs immigration status at that time, even as my husband, he was unable to return to the states with me. Less than six months into our marriage I was having to apply for a whole new visa all over again, while Paul waited at his Dadʼs house in England. It took another 9 months and we had to postpone our big wedding / renewal / reception / party another year, but finally Paul returned to Los Angeles. Since then our lives have been happily drama free! Again the wedding plans resumed, this time to take place on our 2 year anniversary. Because we are both graphic designers, we wanted to do a lot of the projects for the wedding ourselves. Paul works in the web-print-game world of graphics and I work in apparel doing textiles and tee shirts, so we tried to combine our talents and create an event that was true to our styles. The invitations were hand printed on Gocco machines by the groom http://www.etchworld.com/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=prodshow&ref=61-3103A&mktsrc=googlebase.
The invitations were designed to have a few paper cards held together by string, which fit neatly inside fabric pockets, hand-sewn like tiny pillow cases, in a variety of 5 different floral prints. The colors for the wedding were purple and green, with the bridesmaids all wearing unique dresses in shades of purple. To save money we did two major things… 1 – I decided to take a community college class on floral arrangement so that I didnʼt have to pay a florist. 2 – Paul bought some digital music mixing software and we made mixes that we could play instead of hiring a band or MC. I canʼt say it didnʼt stress us out a little, but we ultimately averted disaster and saved a lot of money in the end. That way we were able to focus our investment on the venue, photographer and food!
Luckily I have an amazing husband willing to play such a big role in helping to plan the wedding! He designed and coded our wedding website, he designed and hand printed all the stationary in our invitations, and digitally mixed 6 hours of music for the event. And it was even he who picked out our adorable, and incredibly fitting cake topper.”
The morning after their wedding, Jenny & Luc set up a day-after session with me at this crazy-cool restaurant, the Saddle Peak Lodge in Calabasas, CA . She was inspired by a Twin Peaks sort of vibe and this place nailed it… (& I just keep falling deeper and deeper in love with these beauties…)
