I had the honor of shooting our friends’ maternity photos. I’m so excited for their little miracle to be here!

It’s been busy! I have a fresh new outlook on the business and it’s paid off with some awesome shoots with amazing people. Quarantine has made me realize how much I need to be around creative people to fuel my soul.

All smiles as we get close to shutting down for the holidays! Do you look forward to the break or do you feel like it stops your momentum? I always dread stoping the momentum but I find that a break filled with love and time spent with the ones I care about give me a chance to put in perspective what really matters. We artists love our work and it really doesn’t feel like work so why do we need a break?! I hope YOU enjoy your break and spend some time making relationships stronger with people you care about. Work will always be there.

Kids are people too! Here’s my favorite lil Moxy girl hamming it up for the camera. Does she make you smile too?

Hunter McIntyre is competing in the CrossFit Games today! He’s one of the most polarizing figures in sports and if you don’t know the story about how he got into the games, you should look it up. It’s pretty amazing. He’s the first wildcard entry, which caused quite a stir. I’ve know Hunter for a few years from Spartan races and we both competed on Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge on NBC. This photo was taken for a project @diazhp is working on. To say that I dislike cocky ...people is an understatement. If you’ve ever heard Hunter speak, he is the definition of cocky. After you get to know him, you realize the guy just loves competition. He doesn’t like to compete to crush other people, he just loves to push himself to see what his limits are. That is so inspiring. When he’s smack talking, it’s always with a sense of humor and if he gets beat, he’ll shake your hand and then want to spend time with you to learn how he can get better. Thats a true athlete. As many haters as Hunter has, I won’t be surprised if he walks away from the games with those same people loving him. Best of luck at the games, Hunter. The sport should be happy to have you. See more

12 years in business! Most famous for being in that legendary scene with Long Duk Dong in Sixteen Candles, Debbie Pollack is one of my favorite people in the world. We actually became friends and I love this woman like family. She’s a fantastic actress, acting coach and (free plug) an awesome Airbnb host! And ... she’s finally on Instagram! . . . .... . #laphotographer #laheadshots #actorslife #actorheadshots #auditions #headshotsla #talentagent #headshotphotographer #actingheadshots #headshotphotography #actorheadshots #celebrityphotographer #publicityphotos #publicist #hollywoodagent #makeportraits #hollywood #celebrities #sixteencandles #lumberjack #debbiepollack #deborahpollack #actresslife #actingcoach #actingteacher #actoradvice #airbnb #childstar #wherearetheynow #beautiful
