I recently had the pleasure of photographing David Benning for some portraits he's using in his political campaign. Mr. Benning is running for congress in the district that I live, and grew up in. One of the things I liked about him was that he grew up here too and wants to make a difference in our community. You have to admire someone that commits to something like that. You can check out his policies here.

I thought I'd do a quick post of some of the headshots I did this past month. Some are cooperate headshots, some actors, some are just because. And I love promoting those in my community so please click on their link if they have one to learn more about them. In no particular order...







Efrem Bergman: Composer, Piano Teacher (great, nice guy if you need a piano teacher for your kids)

Aaron Porter: Dancer, Dance and Theater Instructor, Dance Competition Judge

Shawn Burns: Talent Agent/Owner of Rocket Science Talent (specializing in visual and special effect artists)

Rhonda Gunner: Visual Effects Producer/Consultant for movies such as 'Where the Wild Things Are', 'Star Trek' and more!

Jason Cohen: Lawyer/Partner in Vaughn-Cohen Law Firm (amazingly nice guys and family men)

Barak Vaughn: Lawyer/Partner in Vaughn-Cohen Law Firm (see above)

Sheree Knuth: fabulously sweet Aussie... just because

Some of you may remember Krysti from the maternity shoot we did a few months back. Well, their healthy, little baby has finally arrived and is as beautiful as her mother... and dad! These were taken when M was just ten days old. (Photographing newborns is best done at about 7-10 days, in case any of you are considering it.) Miss M was already so alert and strong. By the way, dad is a kick-butt DJ so any one out there planning a special event, check out Bino's web site! He is the best and such a great guy too!











Here are some of my favorites from this newborn session...



This one was for daddy

How cute is this little guy?

One of my favorite little angels that I get to photograph... Miss O. I photographed her here at four months, here at eight months and again just a few days ago when she turned one. I am so excited to do series like these and I look forward to the Three-Edition album they are planning to put together with photos from each session.









This little princess is so loved, not just by mom and dad but by her two big brothers as well. What a lucky girl to have so many hugs and kisses from everyone around her. Here is our latest little adventure. We got a great day after another rainstorm.



Boys will be boys when there is a cool tree around, no matter how old they are!

Loving your work more and more! The little one is just a cutie, way to capture her!
