I photographed a wedding in India. I blacked out in Vegas (twice). Toured wine country with my girls. Road tripped from Arizona to Georgia. Helped capture my best friend’s wedding. Moved to Los Angeles. Worked with celebrities. Participated in my first editorial. Oversaw my first editorial. Flew to DC for an amazing corporate opportunity. Photographed amazing weddings. Was featured in a magazine. My Photographs were featured on NBC and Discovery Channel. Almost destroyed Seattle’s nightlife. Explored Los Angeles with my family. Made amazing friends. Almost died in Alaska. Changed my business. Made amazing contacts.
It has been another incredible year. Full of changes, new beginnings and lots of cupcakes. I started my 2011 in India capturing some of my best images to date and ended it with good friends (and bottles of alcohol) in my new city of Los Angeles.
I could really write a HUGE post on all the things that have happened to me this year, but you are going to have to take my word for it. It was an amazing year and I can’t wait to see what 2012 will bring me.
Here are some of my favorite images of 2011 that come to mind.
















































I am excited for 2012.

When I first moved to Los Angeles, Andre was one of my first clients. Not only was he a client, but he has turned into a great friend. So it is awesome to turn on either the television or Youtube and see his face in a commercial. This year he has done commercials for companies such as [Corona], [LG] and [XBOX Live].
Congrats Andre! You rock!!

STRAYA!
Photographing a comedian is hard. Why? Because it’s difficult to keep the camera from shaking from laughter. [Lowie] is one funny dude. Which is good since it is what he does for a living. Originally from Australia, he now hosts a radio show and does stand-up comedy all over the place, mostly notably here in Los Angeles.
We played a word game.
I would say a word, and I told him to make a face in reaction to that one word (i.e., politics, confusion, sad, naughty, religion). The pictures captured were hilarious. We walked the Santa Monica Pier and took shots in secret (since they are so finicky there about photography). I think my favorite shot was the one where I was forcing him to get on a little kids’ ride, but a little girl beat him to it.
So he got on the mini carousel instead.

I’ve been lucky. People always hear horror stories on actresses (and actors) having horrible personalities here in LA, but honestly, I have yet to meet them.
This is a good thing.
I worked with Samie on a video shoot and she told me she needed new headshots. We set a date and she (and her AMAZING hair) came over. She is proof that natural light is the best for a headshot. It just makes them stand out so much more in my opinion.
Samie is gorgeous. Not only is she gorgeous, she is incredibly nice and humble. She was nice enough to stick around and help me create some model shots for her, but those are for another day
Thanks Samie!

You guys have seen Justin on my blog before. His agency told him that he needed new looks for his headshots, so he contacted me and had a fun little session before I left for DC. As you can see, Justin is a looker, but he is also one of the funniest people I have ever met.
I probably missed a lot of good shots because I would have to stop from laughing.
