matthew brady

matthew brady is a comedic writer and actor who lives in LA. i met him through a mutual friend who was looking to help both of us out: i am always looking for more shooting practice, matt was in need of some new headshots. i had a blast running around town with him for this and, as someone who used to live in LA attempting to get into the film industry, it was interesting to get his take on it since he just moved out only a few months ago.

 good luck with everything, matt!

solomon family

rich, my old co-worker, has been such a huge supporter of my work since day one that i first decided to pursue photography as more than just a hobby. we've been trying to set up a shoot for what feels like forever and during my most recent visit to LA, we finally got one together! rich and his wife, faye, just had their second child a few months ago, so family portraits were more than fitting for this photo session. i can't believe their daughter has gotten so big - the last time i saw her was about a month after she was born. now she's almost three and they have another tiny human in their house. so strange, but very exciting for the family :)  

i really enjoyed getting to spend time we these guys, but photographing children is hard work...

why don't they just do what you tell them to?! :-p

derek viveiros

derek viveiros is an actor in los angeles. he is also the first friend i made when i moved to LA six years ago. aside from being so darn pretty to look at, derek is such a blast to hang out with. i had a great time just playing around while getting some promotional images for him to use.
