This is one of those events I look forward to photographing all year long.  We’ve been photographing this event from its inception 7 years ago, and each year it gets bigger and better.  Helmed by Sunny and Anamika Tara and their daughters Samika and Samira, this is one family event that brings together the local […]

As summer comes to a close and the temperatures settle down, we hit our stride for warm sweaters, boot season, and hot chocolate.  This Fall, we have a very limited availability of appointments in October and November, before the December 1st Holiday Deadline.  Make sure you book your Fall session early to get the dates […]

It’s always a pleasure to have past clients come back into the studio for new or updated portraits.  So when we heard our friend Nami was back in Las Vegas for a few days from Hawaii, we made sure to fit her in for new headshots. Nami is in the fitness industry, and started in […]

Earlier this year we photographed Sahana for her pop album cover, and now she had her album release and graduation party.  What a pleasure to see her celebrated not only for her academic achievements, but her creative achievements as well.  She has overcome many obstacles throughout this past year, but that didn’t stop her from […]

We recently photographed another Arangetram featuring 14 year old Nikita.  An Arangetram is a debut performance of the classical Indian dance Bharatnatyam which dates back as far as 3000 years.  And what an amazing accomplishment for Nikita, especially because she had only trained with her guru for 2 years, whereas it normally takes 7 years, and […]

Boy, do I love photographing my South Asian clients and events!  This time around it was a huge celebration for Kanika and Bharat on their engagement and upcoming wedding.  This engagement was no surprise as Kanika and Bharat have been together for 10 years.  Having met at the University of Pennsylvania, they have been by […]

You may recall the post I made sharing portraits of horseback riders on the beaches of Oregon from a trip I took in April.  The trip started at the far north of the state at Fort Stevens State Park where I met Holly and her husband Graham, who were each riding Arabian horses on the […]

I was recently invited in to photograph the graduation celebration of Sophie as she leaves her alma mater, The Meadows, for UCLA.  It was a pleasure to photograph this family again, following along as the Ahmad family marks off these milestones in their lives.  A few years ago Sophie’s parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary at […]

I recently took a 6 day, exploratory trip down the Oregon Coast.  (You can see a full blog post of that trip on my travel photography website).  I’ve been fascinated with returning to that area since I made a quick day-trip from Portland about 2 years ago.  So when the opportunity arose to return and […]
