the people: denyse ~ headshots

I met Denyse last year when she came with her sister to one of the first shootouts and modeled for us. She was a bit shy and quiet, but super sweet with big brown eyes. A few weeks ago, Denyse contacted me to do a few headshots of her as she would be trying out for the Laker Girls this month. I then asked her to model for the next shootout, as I needed a high school senior. She informed me that she was a junior in college (oops!)

Good luck Denyse with tryouts…and if you get on the team, I’d better be first in line for tickets!






the people: patronas family

This session started with a big hug and ended with a full belly and more hugs. That’s the Greek way. The way they embrace people – both literally and figuratively – is a part of what makes them so special. And of course, I wasn’t able to leave until I had sampled every delicious home cooked dish available in the house and some pizza too, in case I was still hungry. My kind of people and my kind of photo session!

The Patronas clan keeps growing and being able to get all their busy schedules together was quite the feat! And the family keeps growing. We had a great time at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, but this little one wasn’t really that impressed with me.

The rest of them thought I was just okay.

Until I made them climb a bunch of rock, baby and all, and stand on a narrow precipice while high tide was splashing in.

These guys didn’t mind climbing some rocks








Thanks for a great day and making me feel like part of the family!
