  • September Family Sessions 2016, Los Angeles Family Photographer

    Whenever I tell people that I take pictures for a living, they ask me, “What do you photograph?”. I have the same answer every time for them, “I photograph humans”. I started taking photos when my age was still a single digit, when the world felt huge and didn’t have just seven wonders, it had…

    I’m very proud to announce that my work was published in another magazine, this time, in “Where” Los Angeles magazine, in their March 2016 issue, “L.A. By Design”.

  • AC Knotts, Los Angeles Fashion Shoot

    Allishia (or AC as she is known professionally) was referred by my stylist, the amazing Eve Esquire. AC is an up and coming actress and a very cool young lady. We started with a basic headshot session, then went into a full on fashion shoot to better capture AC’s talent and personality(ies). In a headshot,…

  • Taylor Ann Marzullo, Los Angeles Glamour Photography

    This is Taylor Ann Marzullo. These are glamour shots. The word “glamour” means attractive or exciting. But it’s origin comes from the Scottish word roots of “enchantment” and “magic”. Glamour began it’s ascent in the 1930’s and 1940’s, at the height of Hollywood’s elegance. George Hurrell, a former painter turned shooter, helped usher in this new…

  • Thank You, Mr. Alberts

    The people in this photo are my parents, Stan and Donna Freberg. They are both dead. But they are not forgotten. My memories of my mother and father could fill oceans and span galaxies. I can remember the way my dad would hug me (like a bear) and the way he smelled, like Aramis and…

  • Sweet Light

    I was down in Fallbrook, California last week, visiting my partner in crime, Amy Boring. While I was there, she asked me if I wanted to go visit our mutual friend Skye Hardwick, who happened to be teaching one of her signature “Sweet Light Collective” photography workshops. Though I have been a long time admirer of…

  • Grae Drake Is A Magical Unicorn

    Grae Drake is my favorite movie reviewer. There, I said it. If Roger Ebert were still alive, he’d get the nod, and my dear family friend Leonard Maltin (see also: Grae’s frequent partner in popcorn) gets a very close second. But Grae takes top shelf. You may or may not be aware, that I am…

  • Whip It

    My best friend Marisa Viola was in town recently from NYC. More than a friend, she is family. We’ve loved each other through thick and thin for 30 years. An actress, a director, a writer and a producer, she is also one of the most brilliant performers I have ever seen, and one of the…

  • Tessa Ferrer, Los Angeles Headshot Photography

    I’ve known Tessa Ferrer since she was born. I was the ring bearer at her parents wedding. Her mother, Debby Boone and father, Gabri Ferrer, have both known ME since I was born and I have photographed Tessa more times than I can count.  Her grandmother, Rosemary Clooney, was like a godmother to me and her grandfather,…

  • Snapchat-Los Angeles Corporate Headshot Photography

    I am often asked to shoot corporate head shots and I always find it a fun and thrilling thing to do. I worked in the corporate world myself, as a creative at Chiat\Day, so I know the game. When I got a call from Rylee Ebsen, the Creative Director of original content at Snapchat, I…
