Here are photos from my shoot with agency model Ashley Clark for Stark Swimwear. We drove all the way to Malibu this time since I was getting tired of shooting in Santa Monica and Venice Beach all the time. It was totally worth the drive. The beaches in Malibu are a lot cleaner and less crowded.…
Linda (@ltnda) and Amy (@ammish) asked me if I was down to do a desert shoot. I was like, “yes, totally, count me in!” Then Amy mentioned that the sand dunes were at Imperial Sand Dunes, three and half hours away! I was not very happy at how long the drive would take, but I…
I met the owners of Ivy Swimwear (Linda and Linda) at BeScene/Nikster’s hair session last month, and Linda (@ltnda) and I decided to do shoot together for Ivy Swimwear. Kerstyn @_dippedinblack was the perfect model for this. I also found the perfect rooftop with a pool in KoreaTown (thanks Sam!) to shoot in. I did mostly…
I met Priscilla (@priscillax103) with her friend Julie (@misssjoolie) at the 7 Leaves Cafe grand opening in Chino Hills just a couple of weeks ago along with tons of other bloggers/Instagrammers I have not met before (click here). I told them that we should do a shoot together, and they said they’ve never shot with…

She’s half Spanish, half Filipina and is super photogenic and fun to hang around. Just last week, Samantha and…
This was one of the amazing locations in the Island of Oahu that Ally Chen and I visited. Special thanks to her sister Jenny for showing us around! This place is called Kahana Bay, and has a really cool swing that is perfect for photoshoots. Be sure to check it out if you’re visiting Oahu in…
Arika Sato and I wanted to shoot someplace out of our normal shooting spots (i.e. Melrose Place and Melrose Avenue). So I suggested Venice Beach and she said, why not! She brought in several swim pieces from Lisa Blue Swimwear and Ami Club Wear and we took our shoot along Venice Beach. Of course we…
I’ve never been to Paradise Cove in Malibu Beach. Ariana Lauren, Christina Aguayo, and I came upon this perfect beach cove because we were hungry during the drive and the Paradise Cove Cafe seemed like a great idea! I am so glad we all went here! The food wasn’t so bad, and the location was…
Is it summer yet? I’ve grown tired of watching all the snow and winter looks on my Instagram feed that I thought I would heat things up with these photos I took of my favorite Brazilian model Paula Newlands. We shot this in the Shore Club, the hotel I was staying in for Miami Swim…
