A small teaser of what’s to come in the next few days. 

Thank YOU Myrna & Juan Carlos for allowing me to document this very special day!!!

Sometimes on the wedding day it’s hard to get those images inspired by high fashion, fine art & creativity – due to different factors such as time constraints & being worried about getting dirty.

I like to do what I call a “Spunky Bride” Session. You may have heard of these fun shoots by other names such as; “Trash the Dress”, “Fearless Bride”, “Bohemian Bride” and many others. Regardless of the name they all have one objective in common- to have fun & create beautiful images!!

This session allows us to let loose and be super creative without all the constraints of the actual wedding day. They can be as safe or risky as you are comfortable with. A simple dry cleaning of the wedding dress in enough to restore the dress to like new appearance. Of course I cannot guarantee this if we go and paintball with the dress on. ;-)

Here are some images from a recent Spunky Bride session:

Wow! I’ve been pretty busy lately.

Last week I had an urban outdoor photo shoot with Elyce. She’s a naturally talented up and coming model. Giselle, Kate & Heidi better watch out! The shoot was coordinated by fellow photographer Steve Smith. We teamed up to give Elyse two completely different sets of images to enhance her portfolio. We met downtown and went on a stroll. This girl was a trooper- it was pretty cold but she didn’t complain at all. She was even adventurous enough to hang out in a very grimy doorway.

Here are the Photos! I had so many favorites there are a ton. I might even post a few more later..





Hey Tyra!! You should call this girl I’m telling you she rocks!!! She’s definetley America’s Next Top Model!
