For today, I present another shoot from my archives – my first experiment with photographing indoors.  All lighting here is natural.

My lovely girl Trisha moved into an exquisite vintage apartment recently and outfitted the whole place with shabby chic furniture that she found on Craigslist.  The place is about the size of the shoebox, but it’s certainly the shoebox with the most character that I’ve ever seen.  I got so carried away photographing the interior, that I forgot to shoot the moody hallways and urban exterior!!  I guess that means that I’m due for another trip to Pasadena to finish what I started…

This past weekend I spent a clear and breezy afternoon in Malibu with my b-school friend Carlo and his gorgeous wife Joanna.  This is my first attempt at a maternity photoshoot, and I got to work with an Elle Macpherson lookalike – how lucky am I?!  It was truly an honor to get to celebrate this milestone with Carlo and Joanna through photography…

Here is a photoshoot from a few weeks back, with my friend Valerie.  I had the privilege of singing with Valerie in an a cappella group while we were in graduate school together.  Valerie is a talented musician with a rich, emotional voice; you can check out a video of her singing here.  I photographed her in Woodland Hills, overlooking Topanga Canyon at sunset.  She has a fantastic wardrobe for photography, wouldn’t you agree?

Santa Monica with Carmen and Elena

Finally, we’re moving into recent shoots!  I will still post older shoots from time to time, but I am so pleased with this photoshoot from the weekend that I really couldn’t wait to share it.  Originally I had wanted to capture my lovely friends Carmen and Elena on the Santa Monica Pier, but “winter” decided to come this weekend.  There was so much fog that we literally couldn’t see the beach from across the street!  I thought the chances for good photography would be nil, but with beautiful subjects something decent was bound to result.  I hope you agree…

As always, please contact me if you’re in the mood for some creativity!!  Any makeup artists and stylists that want to collaborate, I’m waiting… ^_^

Mini Umbrellas

For today, here is one of my first photoshoots from the fall of 2011, in a park by Topanga Canyon.  This time I ended up in front of the camera instead of behind it, with Karen as the photographer.  I don’t know why but I only own mini umbrellas.  The lace one is broken, the pink one is pretty worthless for hiding from the rain, but at least I found some use for them with photography!!


As always, don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re interested in doing a shoot together.  🙂

The inaugural post – An Afternoon with Trisha

To kick off the blog, I will be digging through some archives of shoots from the past year.  First up is a shoot with my dear college roomie Trisha, in a neighborhood park in east LA.  The pollution in this town has the upside of creating a dreamy glow in the late afternoon.  Don’t let the soft light fool you – Trisha is probably the spunkiest girl I know.

As always, feel free to contact me if you are interested in doing a shoot!

Love,
Lily
