Angie is an high school senior and an aspiring photographer. She has also been assisting me this year. Thank you Angie! For most photographers, being on the other side of the lens is different and sometimes uncomfortable. We like to make them but not take them. Even though Angie shared this with me, I think we captured some nice shots of her. Congrats Angie and thanks again for all your help!
Elissa is a bright and lovely young women with aspirations of becoming a museum curator. And might I add that she know how to dance. During her session we headed to Oak Glen. I absolutely love, love, love Oak Glen. It’s a little bit of country about an hour away from the desert. My family normally visits this area during our yearly family apple picking trip in the fall. But, it has been years since I ‘ve seen it in the spring. The trees were filled with fragrant apple blossoms, the grounds were lush and green, and wildflowers were in bloom. I love Spring! It was a beautiful backdrop for Elissa’s senior portraits. Also, during her session we visited Highland Springs Resort. Check out their website www.hsresort.com. In June, the resort will be hosting their Annual Lavender Festival. I can’t wait! Congratulations Elissa and may God Bless you on your new journey!
James celebrated his 40th birthday at one of my favorite venues in Palm Springs, the Viceroy. He invited 20 of his closest friends for an evening of cocktails, conversation, and of course food. One requirement he asked all his guests was to wear white in order to capture timeless photographs that would not be aged by the current wardrobe trends. The result was an evening that was intimate, fresh, and fun. Hope you had a fabulous birthday James!
Susan G. Komen Inland Empire held their first annual Survivor Brunch. The event was held at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage. It was such a lovely afternoon filled with great food, conversation, and a slew of raffled goodies donated by many local businesses. I was honored to be asked to photograph the event and to be amongst the beautiful women who attended.
