I’ve had a pretty crazy number of visitors these last couple of weeks. I love it because it means I also get to explore this new city I live in. There is a lot of first times for me as well still in Los Angeles. The other day we took a drive too Malibu and we happened to drive by The Getty Villa. After scoring some tickets (without making reservations) we drove up to the hills and took in some spectacular sights before watching the sunset in some Malibu beaches.
If you are ever in Los Angeles, I would definitely recommend a trip to visit both [The Getty Center] and The Getty Villa. Stunning.

Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in all of Vietnam. So you can imagine how we spent most of our day walking around trying not get run over by the millions of mopeds and motor scooters on the streets. Crossing the street in Ho Chi Minh City is an adventure that you have to experience. I would just close my eyes and walk hoping for the best.
We went the presidential palace, got yelled at for taking cartwheels in the wrong place. We also went to museums were Americans were not talked about in the most positive light (a regular occurrence in Vietnam; which makes sense).
After a full day of walking around, we enjoyed the evening with some bubble tea and AMAZING food.
Take a stroll with us.

I know I know that I have neglected to update in a while. Its been a pretty extremely hectic recently. I’ve had an insane amount of friends visit LA recently (with no end in sight, Thank God); I got really sick there for a good week; lots of photography projects; lots of assisting other friends and photographers; basically, enjoying LA to the max.
Here are a few snaps from my phone.

I love when I can make my clients happy (who doesnt?).
Lyndsay and Adam opted to have both an engagement album made as well as a wedding site when they picked out their package.
I love Lyndsay’s response to both things
“These are $%^&*(ing awesome!”
If you are still thinking about booking a wedding in 2012. Ask me about albums and +sites that I can offer you!
