    2018-02-15 22:21:00 UTC

    Felicia and I first met via Instagram and we set up a coffee date. We hit my favorite spot Joe and the Juice, so of course after we met for the first time, Joe was our forever meeting spot. The best part about swinging by Joe is a lot of…

    2018-02-08 14:00:00 UTC

    Casey is SO CUTE and SO SWEET! I couldn’t have asked for a better day with her! She was such a trooper, too! We had originally planned to shoot in San Clemente, but due to traffic and other crazy things that happen in CA, we had to move the shoot…

  5. Caroline // Dragonfly Agency Dallas

    2018-01-22 17:00:00 UTC

    It has been a while since I worked with such a young new face. I work with new faces all the time at Bella, but most of them are actors and still have some sort of experience in front of a camera. Caroline was very fresh - first shoot ever!…

    It was so great to finally meet and work with Rene Grincourt! We met up for coffee on the rainiest day, so we primarily shot at the coffeeshop and around the area. We rescheduled shooting 3-5 times due to rain, so we decided to just make it happen even amidst…

    Thanks John Philp for linking me up with Jacq! While in Chicago, I needed someone to help me on a social media project for Origins and asked one of my only Chicago friends, John Philp who recommended Jacq. She was so awesome and I loved working with her! While I…

    Remember when I shot the brand Egard Watch Co? Well Ilan, the owner of Egard started a new watch line called Gentleman Warfare and he was kind enough to ask me to photograph the new line! I was beyond stoked to get to work with two awesome friends on this…

    2018-01-04 22:16:00 UTC

    Darren came to California from Dublin/London and of course Mr. Rutherford made sure to connect us! It was such a pleasure working with Darren. He wanted to hit all the typical Los Angeles must do’s, spots that made it very obvious we were in LA. We met at Mel’s Diner…

    It’s always a blast working with Noah! I was so stoked our schedules lined up a couple of times while I was in New York. We had the chance to grab coffee, shoot and even workout together! It was obviously snowing the day we shot, so I was basically frozen,…


  14. Nelson // Malibu

    2017-11-24 22:09:46 UTC

    Another fun shoot with Nelson in the books! I love return clients like Nelson, especially when every shoot is so unique. Our first shoot was in New York followed by a shoot on the Irvine Hills with his sister. The last one was in his neighborhood at sunset. This time…


  15. Karah // Laguna Blogger

    2017-11-22 03:03:13 UTC

    2017-10-27 19:20:51 UTC

    I absolutely enjoyed spending the day with Cody! He’s super sweet and really wonderful to be around. We explored downtown for some cool locations. Since I’m not from SF, I’m always lacking in locations, but thankfully he knew a good area. He also knows all the good spots to hit…


  19. C+R // Point Dume Malibu

    2017-10-04 19:09:15 UTC

    Chris, Rene and I headed out to Malibu for a killer shoot at Point Dume! I’ve worked with them separately, so it was a blast to work with them together. Rene actually referred Chris to me when Chris was on the search for a photographer. So fun to get these…


  20. Gregory // LA Models

    2017-09-30 02:19:00 UTC

    Gregory Zarian! What a handsome and rad dude! I had no idea what to expect when I met him. I knew he was friends with Eric Rutherford so he had to be cool, but man he was super cool. It only took us a year to actually shoot and we…

    Valeria has been to LA a few times, but she’s usually so busy, we’re never able to get together. I was so stoked to finally hang out with her and explore Beverly Hills with her. If you’re looking for rad style and beauty tips, follow her youtube channel. Enjoy what…


  24. Gabe // Laguna Beach Blogger

    2017-08-15 19:13:28 UTC

    Finally reunited with Gabe! I can’t believe it took us 3 years! He’s lived in LA for a while now, but it’s nothing like when he lived in south beach. I was at his apartment every single day. We always hung out, but now in California I’ve seen him ONCE!…
