This month in review //  Here are a few of my instagrams from around town.  I particularly love the first image of the old man taking in his flag.  You can check out more of my Instagrams HERE.

I just had a great lifestyle shoot with Koko Allen who recently started her own company luv RATCHET, selling her hand made jewelry and hand bags.

Photographed a home for BETTER SHELTER in Silverlake a few weeks ago, and they really did an incredible job.  They are a boutique real estate development company who provide affordable housing using sustainable construction methods, and a design aesthetic rooted in southern California modernism.  Steve Jones runs the Los Angeles branch, and is always a pleasure to work with.  Check out their work here.

I was just featured on my FAVORITE blog of all time!!  Check it out at Something Turquoise.

Recent portrait session with friends Shane and Taylor: styled by Shane and Taylor.

My beautiful wife put together this amazing Valentine’s Day shoot, and I was just lucky enough to be there to photograph it.  We did three different looks for Jaymi, and decided to keep things very simple with minimal props unified by the same color scheme RED.  I love what we did!  Thanks to everyone who made it happen;  Styled by Jen Carreiro of  Something Turquoise (beautiful wife mentioned earlier);  Hair by Jen Carreiro of Something Turquoise;  Make Up by Abril Lizette Beauty;  Florist: Floral Design By Jacqueline Ahne;   My awesome assistant Emily Dahlen;  and our amazing models Jaymi & Will Hainlen.
