one of my best friends in the whole world turned 26 a few weeks ago and we treated him to a surprise make-over and photo session. ashkan and i have been friends for 18 years. we met on the handball court of our elementary school, ash in his huge green jacket that he wore even when it was 100 degrees outside and me with my frizzy, curly hair. we weren’t exactly the coolest kids in school, but to each other we were the coolest! well fast forward to today, ash has some awesome style and my hair is no longer frizzy, through good times and bad times we have stuck by each other and of course we are still the coolest! i love you ashdoggie, thank you for being the best friend ever :).

a few weeks ago i had the pleasure of shooting with my good friend meghan of meghan aileen photography. we have been so lucky to meet such wonderful people in the wedding photography industry, who we feel secure sending clients to when we are booked; and of course if anything should happen to me or eric which would prevent either of us from shooting, we have some awesome back-ups! meghan and i started our day super early, 6:30am early! it turned out to be a beautiful wedding, an adorable couple, and i am so glad i was able to help out.

boudoir is a wonderful and surprising gift you can give to your significant other. it can be scary, and overwhelming but you will always have these photos to look back on and go, “damn, i am hot .” if it takes all day to get the perfect shots, then that is fine with us. if you have any questions about boudoir or would like to schedule a session, send us an email and we will give you all the information you need. we will never post boudoir images without the permission of our clients, but here is a small teaser of some of stephanie’s pics, with her permission of course, shot at el matador state beach in malibu. i met up with stephanie early in the morning, to avoid any crowds. when we arrived, we were the only ones on the beach! we quickly took advantage of having no one around, and got some really sexy photos, which will not be posted here . boudoir is usually done in a bedroom setting, but i thought the beach was an awesome idea and stephanie being the perfect california girl really worked it!
