Steve & Melissa

Out of the blue, the weather changed & created a perfect day for Steve & Melissa. They met in the bar where Steve works. It was love at the first shot....(just kidding). A bagpiper played them into the marriage ceremony in true Scottish fashion.

Maureen- USC Graduate 2011

As Maureen is into old movies and the Film Noir era it made sense to use an art deco theater during her shoot. Thanks again to Lee for kindly letting us use the Warner Grand in San Pedro.

Barbie- High School Senior

Barbie's mom brought a beautiful traditional Korean dress for the shoot all the way from Korea. We are lucky to have the Korean bell here in San Pedro.

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!
