As I do with every bride and groom I work with, I meet up with Jill Sager and Kelly Flickinger in Laguna Beach to talk over a game plan for their wedding on August 9th in Newport Beach and we then did some casual portraits to get to know each other with the camera between us as the sun went down.

Jane Fonda received this years 42nd AFI Lifetime Achievement Award. I worked for AFI and photographed her at a cocktail reception at Spago on Wednesday night and then at the Tribute Gala honoring her at the Dolby Theatre last night.

Long-time photographer friend, Steve Dawson and I had an historic opportunity to work with PSAV Presentation Services to photograph over 6,000 Chinese attendees at a conference for Perfect China outside the Anaheim Convention Center. I then photographed that same 6,000 as they enjoyed a sit down dinner and show one of the convention halls that night.

About a month ago I was contacted about my availability to be a part of the project. I meet with Steve at the Anaheim Convention to look at the location. When we first looked at the space I said there is no way all those people will fit. Then we started to walk it off – figuring how many people would fit across and how many rows we would need. To our surprise they would fit.

This is the largest group from China to visit the United States and California and it was an amazing sight to see and photograph. Read more details about the visit HERE
