UMBRELLA SHOT

It was a rainy day in California everywhere but Malibu. Miraculously, when I arrived it was a clear sky but super windy. Adrianna and Blake came on time and I immediately fell in love with Adrianna's dress. It was my favorite color and just perfect for a windy evening on the beach.

Yana is my darling friend and a fellow photography enthusiast. Her son Timothy is a friend of my boys and we wish we could see each other more often.

I often have to deal with tension and shyness among my clients. It's a matter of time and skill to take it away. Sometimes I use music when I can

The most flattering thing for me as a photographer is when people come back for a service a year after year. This means they love what I do and there is no better reward than that. I feel like I'm on the right path. Last year I shot Amy and Stephen and their lovely dogs Skyla and Hailey at a park. This time they decided to try something different and go to the beach. The choice was Malibu pier. Those who love ocean will agree that it's a magical place and the sunset makes it
