field of dreams

 

Did a ton of looks for this four year-old girl who just signed with Stars.  Don't you love the flower dress from Nordstrom's?

lights, camera, action

 This high school sophomore has been studying acting and dance and would like to get an agent and get into tv and film.  I loved working with him and feel like he could do it all!

oh brother

Had a session yesterday with a cute little 3 year old boy from Stars. Big brother came along and acted as my wrangler. So, of course he couldn't stay behind camera for the whole session.

the palace

How could anyone go wrong shooting in this iconic San Francisco location?  And with such a lovely and fun model (to book contact Stars Agency)?

rainy day cancellations

Heavy rain today, two shoots rescheduled.  But of course, some photography still happens.  Same tree, different digital filters, all shot through the moon roof of my car.

into the wood

Did this shoot in Stern Grove with a young actress (signed with JE Talent).  She wears glasses, so we did some looks without, some with, and some with her glasses down on her nose.   Glasses are tricky.  Even anti-reflectives pick up some reflection/color cast. but without glasses, people sometimes get a kind of unfocused, faraway look in their eyes. If anyone has any good tips, let me know.   It's interesting how different this girl looks with/without glasses.  She reminds me of the character Hermione Granger in the shots where she has pigtails and is wearing the navy blue cardigan.

pinch me I'm Irish

This was my second shoot with this young actress.  Half Irish, half Filipino, and not an inch to pinch. Despite the chilly SF weather, she was a real trooper for the shoot.
