Rena + Geoff

I had a fabulous time playing with Rena and Geoff for their engagement session! We started out at the Taj Cafe in Ventura because that is where Geoff proposed to Rena. We wanted a urban feel so we walked around downtown and explored some alley's. I just love the new Watermark Resturant. The architecture is AMAZING! I grew up in Ventura and every time I head back downtown I'm surprised by all the new improvements. Ventura is getting so hip!

I just love the reflection off the old windows











I loved how the shadows fell and could see the shadows kissing :)







And of course we had to go visit the rail road tracks!











The sunset was beautiful! And of course, another reflection!

Image Boxes

I'd like to announce that all new Chelsea Elizabeth wedding packages include image boxes in them!

• Image boxes included in contracts signed after 01.20.09
• Available to current brides with previous contracts for 30% off retail price
  

Your wedding package will include a custom image box with 150 artistically edited 4x6's from your wedding. Below are some samples of what the boxes look like. These are sample images from the vendor. I have my sample on order and as soon as I get it I'll be putting some images online.

These also make great gifts for your parents and can be purchased a la carte.

The champagne package comes with a complete set of 4x6 prints. Here is a sample of inside of a full set box.

Corporate Headshots

I'm doing some headshots for Wellpoint. Steve, being the fabulous husband that he is, helped me out with some prep. Yeah! So I headed out today and scouted the location. Here are some of my favorite pictures of Steve. Some obviously not corporate, but since I had him there I had some fun! Isn't he handsome :)

And here's the final version for the corporate headshots!

Jenny + Pakin Album

Jenny and Pakin's wedding album design is ready! I had such a fun time designing this album. They had the brilliant idea to get married in Maui and have their reception at home. This album is just for the reception. We did some amazing portraits at Pasadena City Hall and the headed over to 888 Seafood resturant for the reception. I love clean simple album design. No keylines or crazy colored backgrounds. Just something classic that will still look good 25 years from now.

Very fun cover! This cover is designed with a femme noir accent leather and the metal armour cover.



I love the Armour covers!



The accent leathers are AMAZING too!
