Save the Date Card Samples from Minted

As some of you know I have a Minted site.

Now that Trisha and Jason have their engagement photos, I can help them create a Save the Date card.

Here are two Minted samples including one of my favorite features about this stationery company.........their minibooks. They are just adorable.

Trisha and Jason's Engagement Session

Last week I teased you with a Polaroid image from Trisha and Jason's engagement session.

I have collected over the years a list of over 50 engagement session location ideas that I allowed Jason and Trish to view. The couple chose a street filled with pink trumpet trees in Los Feliz (which I learned about from an article in the Los Angeles Times years ago) and Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House in Barnsdall Park.


Here is another Polaroid image from the shoot.

Sneak Peek - Jason and Trisha

Trisha and Jason were one of the couples that won an engagement session with me.

Here is a sneak peek of an image I shot of them with my Polaroid camera.

Hank & Jordan's Engagement Session

I met Hank through my dear old entertainment biz friend Doreen Thorson (who escaped the business and now lives in North Dakota).

I'm so glad Doreen introduced me to Hank and Jordan.

We immediately clicked and had a great time shooting under the Hollywood sign, Griffith Observatory and their favorite restaurant Greenblatt's, where they treated me to a yummy lunch.

In Honor of Valentine's Day - A Special Kolo Essex Journal

As many of you know I'm a big fan of Kolo products. I especially love using their Essex journals.

In honor of Valentine's Day I created a special Essex journal.

The journal includes images from an engagement session I did with Heidi Jo and Matthew along with some vintage Valentine's Day postcards, some of my Through the Viewfinder (TTV) images and a quote from George Sand.

This journal can be given to the couple and they can add mementos that have special meaning to them (movie tickets, a pressed flower, a book of matches, photos from a wonderful day spent together) along with notes to each other.

The possibilities are endless.

Working with a Beautiful New Stationery Line

I am now working with a gorgeous new stationery line, which includes wedding invitations, save the date announcements, baby announcements and holiday cards.

While I don't have my new samples yet, I wanted to share with you the some of the proofs they sent me. Both of these samples are with my images.

To see larger views of the samples, just click on each card.

I will be sharing more samples with you in the next month or so.

Guest Book from Collages

Collages.net makes these fantastic guest books for wedding guests to sign on the day of their wedding. I made one for Jennifer and Woody with images from their engagement shoot in San Francisco. Coincidentally Collages had a color leather almost identical to Jennifer's invitation. I can't wait for Jennifer and Woody's wedding guests to sign it this coming weekend.

Jennifer & Woody's Engagement Session in San Francisco

I had the pleasure of shooting Jennifer and Woody's engagement photos in San Francisco last fall and totally forgot to blog about it. I've known Jennifer for over 20 years and am thrilled she found Woody.

2007 Was Another Great Year

I created a 2006 Year in Review Slideshow and I decided to create another one this year. It was another great year. Thanks to everyone who made it so successful.

Kristofer and Ali's Engagement Session

When I was a talent agent I had the pleasure of representing Kristofer McNeeley as an actor and he was always one of my favorite clients. Talented, gracious and just fun to be around.

Kristofer is getting married to a lovely girl named Ali Spuck and I feel so honored that they asked me to shoot their wedding in Rosarito, Mexico this coming November.

Kristofer and Ali decided to take a couple of days of R&R at the beautiful St. Regis Resort, Monarch Beach and it turned out to be a beautiful place to shoot.

Ashley & Scott's Engagement Session

I shot Ashley and Scott's engagement photos recently in Malibu. Scott is an F16 pilot in the Air Force stationed in Arizona and was in town for the weekend. I can't wait to shoot their wedding next May at the Fenyes Estate Garden at the Pasadena History Museum.

Julie and Craig

Julie and Craig asked me to shoot some photos of them before they moved to Tennessee. Julie has a fabulous invitation company called The Invite Girl. They wanted to remember the great times they had in Southern California and thought the beach was a great venue. Humphrey, their basset hound, wasn't always cooperative, but we did ultimately get some great photos of the three of them.

Jennifer & Cory Engagement Shoot

I am looking forward to shooting Jennifer & Cory's wedding in a couple of weeks and over the Christmas vacation I shot their engagement photos. Jennifer and Cory both live in Illinois although they are both originally from California.

Jennifer is currently in medical school and Cory is in law school. These are my two favorite shots.
