Elliott DeCrumpe II

We had a fun session with Elliott and to help inspire him with posing, his good friend Raymond came along.

Steve & Melissa

Steve is a (superb)) bartender and met Melissa at his place of work. So, what better location to start their engagement session! They had requested that we end up at the Santa Monica pier and it was a perfect evening at the beach.

One World at Alva's

Frank Unzueta's band One World performed at Alva's dance studio to a packed house. The concert was kind of a reunion as past members are now back in the band and sounding as great as ever.

"Miss California Teen USA- Most Photogenic"..Alexis Orozco

Here she is!!! Alexis Orozco has won the title "Most Photogenic" with the Donald Trump Pageant "Miss California Teen USA". We photographed her for her High School Senior portraits and she was just outstanding. Alexis was out at sea on her senior trip when her images were needed by the Trump Pageant guys, so we got a frantic phone call. We had 12 minutes to get 2 pictures to them and I was out! A couple of phone calls from Madonna to me and we made the deadline. It paid off! Congratulations to Alexis Orozco!!! We are so proud of you!

Frasier- High School senior

Glenn, Frasier Glenn (as in Bond). Frasier likes the sophisticated dressy look and also owns a kilt (not shown). He loves to show off his Corvette and demonstrated some athletic talent by jumping over a Mustang.

Conner- High School senior

Conner lives within walking distance to the beach so that's where we ended up having started at his house in Manhattan Beach.

Darby- High School senior

Darby had some great ideas for her session such as "trash the dress". So, we had her lie down on the beach and waited for some nice big waves!

Ryan- High School senior

Ryan had some unique numbers associated with his session. It was on October 10th at 10am. Therefore the date was 10/10/10 at 10am.

Max Tufeld - High School senior

Max is into movies, and classic ones at that. In keeping with his theme, we found a great film strip metal sculpture in Culver City.

Joe Waybright- High School senior

Joe & horses go hand in hoof. Joe also scored a touchdown recently for his school. So we have "Cowboy Joe" & "Varsity Joe".
