FUN @ LACMA

One of my favorite parts about where we live in LA is our close proximity to LACMA and the new BCAM. The gang and I have a lot of fun hanging out and taking pictures in their outdoor installations. It's such a big part of our lives in LA that Aaron and I had our engagement photos taken at LACMA.

Anyway, here are a few photos from our most recent trips...


LACMA & BCAM


From inside the URBAN LIGHT installation.


Me and the hubs.


Coco! My most fabulous (and adorable) second shooter.

Raki inside the exhibit.






I think this was one of the most awesome LA sunsets.




And then it was dark.


My friends also play jazz at LACMA.


Kathleen Grace is such a bad ass singer.


My best friend Erik playing bass, Perry playing guitar and Matt on the drums.

the many sides of Andree

Here are two of my favorite, VERY DIFFERENT photos from my photo shoot with Andree Belle in Oceanside the last week...

Gorgeous ain't she? 

We're working on the rest of the photos from that shoot. They're all pretty amazing! It's been hard to choose our favorites.

Keep checking in with the blog to see more pics from that shoot. And to check out more from Andree you can now find her album on iTunes!

Recording session @ Paramount Recording Studios

My incredibly talented piano playing, song writing, friend, Alan Chang, asked me to come photograph his recording session for what will (hopefully) become his solo album. I mean, the guy writes all these amazing songs for other people (like Buble's "Home" and "Everything") that it's great to see him performing his own amazing songs! And what's even greater is that I got to hang around and experience it!


Studio C in Paramount Recording Studios.





These are my amazingly adorable friends, Alan, Erik (you may remember him as my Man of Honor) & Matt
Wasn't it nice of them to dress alike?


They are also still cute in black and white! ;)


Alan playing piano.


Erik playing bass.


And Matt on drums.


Listening back.


Alan's piano playing is so dreamy. :)


I love this shot with Matt setting up in the background.


And this is Matt's setup.


Alan coaching Erik through a song. And by coaching I mean, yelling the notes at him!


I love this shot.

The Airborne Toxic Event

The Airborne Toxic Event’s fall tour started at the Fox Theater in Pomona last Thursday with the Henry Clay People and Red Cortez. I came in at the end of the Henry Clay People, unfortunately, but at least I got to see a couple songs. The Henry Clay People is one of my most favorite bands out there right now. Seriously, this band will rock your ASS off, I love them so. It also doesn't hurt that my friend/old band mate Jonathan is playing with them too...


Henry Clay People rocking out. The photo on the right is they new keyboardist celebrating the fact that he just quit his job and my buddy Jonathan clapping for him. Love that photo.

Then i was time for Airborne Toxic Event. I can't even tell you how amazed I am by the crowds they bring. I was there for their very first show when it was just me, Aaron and a few others at the Tiki Lounge in LA. Let me just tell you, I never suspected that this was in their future. Daren (their drummer and one of our closest friends) hooked me up with a press pass and here is some of the magic that I captured...

Mikel and Noah -- I love this shot.

 
I also love these shots of Anna and Steven


I forgot how much I love concert lights.




Anna on keys and Anna on violin.










My favorite part about the night is the t-shirt that one of the fans had made for Daren...


"It's all about the 'stache" indeed. And I can't wait till he shaves it off!!! :)
