Thanksgiving with family and friends

Thanksgiving was spent this year with my brother and his family at my parents house in Henderson, NV. It's always good times when we all get together. We ate too much, laughed too much, didn't sleep enough and left way too early.

We also had some visitors from North Carolina come and have dinner with us one night. My good friends Jeff, Lori, his dad Larry and Anne were in town and it was so great to see them.

I have so many things to be thankful for and one of the biggest things are the people in my life, family and friends.


This one is for Jeff's mom... See! Jeff actually got up from dinner and started doing dishes!

Houdini Mansion Wedding - Spooky Dan and Tammy

I have the honor of shooting with Karen and Craig for probably the most unique wedding I've seen yet. This is going to be such a fun wedding and the bride and groom are so awesome! Spooky Dan and Tammy are the sweetest couple from North Hollywood and they're getting married at the Houdini Mansion in Los Angeles.

We were in North Hollywood this past weekend to meet with them and to shoot some engagement photos. The details of this Goth wedding are amazing and so is the setting in which it will be held but I won't go into the details right now so you'll just have to wait and see on their wedding blog post!

Check out the wicked awesome tattoo on Tammy's leg in the last picture!

Here are some of my favs!

Ghost Village Road in Montecito for Halloween!

I went to Coast Village Road in Montecito for Halloween with beautiful little Abigail. Her parents Dan and Kara are really good friends of mine and a few months ago I had the pleasure of shooting a portrait session for little Abigail.

Coast Village Road in Montecito turns their road into Ghost Village Road for Halloween. All the shops decorate and get all festive for Halloween, handing out literally tons of candy. It's such a great thing and families from all over go here to trick or treat in a safe, super fun environment!

Abigail has gotten so big over the past few months and now she's walking! I wanted to hold her the whole time so she didn't get a chance to do much walking, sorry Abby. Right from the start, she put a bag of whoppers in her mouth, a snickers bar in one hand and some licorice in the other. She didn't let go of anything, including the whoppers in her mouth until we got back to the car where she crashed hard and went to sleep. She's was way too cute in her bunny costume.

Here are some favs.
