eWomen Network & Homes for Troops

This year I photographed "Fearless Women Portraits" at the eWomen Network convention in Dallas, Texas again. I had an amazing time mingling and getting to know a whole group of new faces and catch up with old friends from attendees who came to the same event last year.

This year at the conference, I became involved with a great organization called "Homes for Troops." Their mission is to build specially adapted homes for our severely injured veterans.

Magazine Covers

It was fun to create these magazine covers two for the holidays. The Glow Magazine is a new magazine. I photographed the CEO of eWomenNetwork with the sword as a "Fearless Woman" portrait. I have done several covers for LA Parent this year. I particularly liked shooting the Holiday issue. The article inside was about teaching your kids how to give back. We also videotaped the photo shoot and will have the "making of an LA Parent Cover Shoot" up on our website sometime soon.

I have photographed two covers this year for Westlake Magazine. The first issue featured the ex-bachelor, Andrew Firestone and his beautiful bride Ivana. We had so much fun shooting all over the historic Corral Casino in Santa Barbara, right on the beach. What a gorgeous couple and extremely gracious and down to earth.The most recent Westlake Magazine Cover of Leeza Gibbons and her children was from a family portrait session we did last year. The article about Leeza honored her Mother who recently passed away from Alzheimer's. You can learn more about Leeza's dedication to her mother and foundation at www.leezasplace.org.
