It's the city of glitz and glam and home to notable Hollywood celebrities. It's also one of the most glamorous places in the world for beauty, fashion, and shopping.
This week's iCapture gives you a taste of Beverly Hills, where I'm currently staying to cover the upcoming 3D animated film The Lorax. Here are just a few photos I took on a leisurely Sunday afternoo... Read More »

Having lived in Los Angeles my entire life, I'm always amazed when I happen upon a new activity or destination. Yesterday, we explored our inner artist at Zimmerpalooza, a celebration of the arts presented by the Zimmer Children's Museum. The charity event was held at the Annenberg Community Beach House, which is the only public beach club in the US. Built in th... Read More »

On the surface, it seems quite simple and straightforward. Take one photo every day for an entire year. Since smart phones are now equipped with up to 8 megapixel cameras, it's easy to photograph those beautiful, unexpected moments...the ones I never managed to capture ... Read More »

It's been a little quiet around here hasn't it? But with good reason. I'm in Santa Monica this week, covering the soon-to-be released film Big Miracle, inspired by the book and true story of Operation Breakthrough, which was an international effort to rescue three gray whales trapped near Point Barrow, Alaska. The film is phenomenal and I can't wait to share details a... Read More »

It's 5pm in LA on a Saturday night and I'm hanging in a 10,000 square foot art exhibition space/cafe with Japanese cosplay maids dressed in French maid outfits and pink earmuffs serving cookies and lollipops. Did I mention that I'm at an art exhibition...for children? Or that Tobey Maguire just might have made an appearance? Only in LA!
Royal/T's latest exhibit is TA... Read More »

Over the past few years, I've developed this incredible passion for photography. Since purchasing the iPhone earlier this year, I've come to rely on it's 5-megapixels camera for those brilliant, unexpected moments when my official camera is at home. Surprisingly, the iPhone camera takes some incredible photos...photos that I've actually used on this site because they ... Read More »

As for New York City, it is a place apart. There is not its match in any other country in the world.

It's one of my favorite cities in the world...glitzy and glamourous...whimsical and sentimental...contemporary yet historic. There are not many cities I'd want to live in, outside of Southern California. But oh how I'd love to spend a year or three in... Read More »

Over the past year, I've sat in on numerous photography sessions while attending social media conferences. One of the tips that seemed to be shared repeatedly was the importance of taking pictures daily. If I don't have my DSLR in tow, I'm capturing my children's silly, adorable moments or the beauty of the US via my mobile phone. And while the best photographer... Read More »

About a year ago, I really started pursuing my passion for photography. I invested in an SLR camera (and some other equipment), read some books, and gleaned wisdom at conferences and informally through photographers I know and admire. And then I did what is probably the most important part of learning to do something...I practiced...a lot. In fact, I'm still pract... Read More »

Over the last year or so, I've become extremely passionate about photography. It was probably meant to be, considering my father's line of work involved photography. With two young children who are growing and changing quickly, you'll almost always find me with some type of camera in tow to capture their funny, adorable, and sometimes messy moments.

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas

My husband and I love to get creative with photos we've taken. We've done a ton of projects together including a digital photo scrapbook of our eight month trip to Europe and our own wedding invitations (yes, that is what I said!). So when I was recently offered an opportunity to test out HP's new web-based interface for home and small business printing projects c... Read More »
