Bright Lights // Big City: Jenna Jayne Cannon

Over the last few months, I've had the wonderful opportunity to work with some of my actor friends. First up is a gallery with shots from two shoots I've done with the one and only Jenna Jayne Cannon (or JJ as I know her). The first shoot was a fun little vintage number at the Santa Barbara train station. The second is a handful from our headshot session at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. We had so much fun doing them, what do you think?

Believers Never Die part Deux // San Jose

So my new bodacious job shooting is working for FriendsOrEnemies.com shooting concerts in exchange for the passes and the access and getting published on FOE.com. It's a really awesome setup and I love it. My first concert for FOE was shooting Believers Never Die Part Deux in San Jose, CA on April 7th featuring my friends in Hey Monday as well as Cobra Starship, Metro Station, All Time Low and tour headliners Fall Out Boy! I made a gallery for each, so check them out and let me know what you think.

The New Rosie//{Vintage Girls + Vintage Cars}

I had a great opportunity this past weekend to attend a professional vintage girls and cars shoot at Calumet here in Santa Barbara. We had the amazing talents of Courtney Miller {MAC} on makeup, Lee Ann Brittenham {Heroes, CSI} on hair and Jason Holmes guiding us with lighting at the hands-on workshop. The girls, Christa, Jessica and Michelle were fantastic and looked GREAT in the shots. I really had a great time doing this, let me know what you think!

A Taste of Provence in SB: Stella Mare's

Hey Monday @ The Knitting Factory

In addition to Kids and Travel, I also love shooting bands (and, heck, promoting good ones) and I've been itching for a while to shoot Hey Monday, a really great pop/punk/rock/awesome band from West Palm Beach, Florida. I've been digging them since August and they're catching on pretty fast thanks to their talent, their great album, and getting onto some really great Tour rosters (I caught them with The Cab in September and with The Academy Is... and We The Kings in October. They're currently doing an acoustic tour with We The Kings for Hot Topic and they've done some free shows for Myspace and Imeem with Metro Station here in Cali. I got to see them last night at The Knitting Factory for the Imeem/Mozes show, so here's my gallery of Hey Monday from their gig at The Knitting Factory! (And yes, that redhead is Travis from We The Kings!) So meet Cassadee, Mike, Jersey, Elliot and Alex who are HEY MONDAY!

Two Worlds, One City // Venice Beach + Downtown LA

This past weekend I got two distinctly different visits in LA, Venice Beach (for the family shoot below) and Downtown LA (for a walk with Remy.) Here are my two different views of Los Angeles, an amazing city with so many different worlds within one bustling city of concrete and sand.

January Kids

Kid/Family shoot for the month of January was PJ and Malachy with Mommy and Mommy's BFF T down at Venice Beach in Los Angeles. It was an exciting day with newly rescued pup Remy, new sunglasses, new friends, and dipping tiny toes into the pacific for a whole new world of exploring seashells and watching the birds. Oh, and don't forget the oversized cups of yum!
