A couple of months ago I collaborated with the beautiful and talented Jennifer Berk to get some images for both of our portfolios. Jennifer is a former pro tennis player who is making the transition into modeling and recently signed with one of the top sports modeling agencies in the country. Here are a couple of images from our session:

I spent a long day in the studio yesterday doing some stock and portrait work and ended the day by having some fun with my friend Kalynne and a new acquaintance, Toby. I have a lot of editing yet to do on the hundreds of images we made, but here is a quick look at one. Toby has a gun in his hand (don’t worry – it was a mock Beretta) and many of the images have the gun in frame, which obviously gives the photograph a much more ominous feel. And this one, with the sharp contrast between the light and dark sections of the image, could be seen the same way. But to me, it also has a sense of longing or even heartbreak. I’m not sure, though. What do you think?

I have known Emily since she was in high school and have always thought the world of her, so it was a pleasure and an honor to be asked to photograph her wedding this past weekend in Newport Beach. Although it has been a rainy winter in Southern California, the weather was perfect and the celebration went off without a hitch. Here are a few images of the lovely bride with her new husband, Bryce:

Over the weekend I did a portfolio shoot with a friend who performs with CONDER/dance, a contemporary dance company in Phoenix. I was amazed both by her gracefulness and by her athleticism. One moment she was jumping to what felt like NBA level altitudes and in the next she was in complete repose. I read a recent article in which a photographer said that one of the reasons he loves his job is because it allows him to hang out with amazing people who do incredible things. I feel exactly the same way.

I spent part of the day on Saturday at a lighting workshop in Phoenix and had the opportunity to photograph these two beautiful models. Meet Gwen and Ginalyn.

Several years ago, my friend Kimo and I, on the spur of the moment, drove up to Lone Pine, California and hiked to the top of Mt. Whitney and back in a day. He was very patient with me, but essentially hiked me into the ground. He now has a clutch of mini-hikers that he is trying to train in the ways of the outdoorsman. They arrived in Phoenix yesterday for the Thanksgiving break and I had a chance to photograph them at a nearby park this morning. Here are three of the five minis:

Seven kids, all as sweet and fun as they are cute. After spending so much of my early career in the cutthroat and confrontational world of Wall Street, it is a joy and a privilege to spend my days photographing families like this one.
