365 (15 of 23)

A few weeks ago I went out to dinner with some friends downtown. Here I am ruining a perfectly good night by dragging said friends around the Walt Disney Concert Hall at night and taking silly pictures.

Remember how in love with this building I am?

Remember I told you any inquiries would probably result in me suggesting we shoot here?

You guys! I can’t be within six blocks of this place without wanting to go there! It’s a sickness.

What I love most about this building is that it’s never the same twice. Because the walls are made out of reflective metal the color of the building is always changing depending on the time of day and the weather. The night we were there it had this ethereal peach glow from the lights of the city reflecting off the low clouds. So beautiful.

Anyway, enough about my nerdy tendencies. Just wanted to share!

Jessica’s Quinceanera

I think this is quite possibly my favorite picture ever. Last month Jamie and I headed to Downtown LA to do LBW’s first ever quinceanera.

You have no idea how excited I was to get to shoot in downtown LA. When you live in the Los Angeles area your whole life you eventually take it for granted. But the city is so beautiful. If you’ve never been to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, GET DOWN THERE IMMEDIATELY.

The building is just stunning and I know exactly nothing about architecture. There are all these nooks and crannies all around the building. It’s like it Frank Gehry designed this place for photographers. You are my hero, Frank Gehry. Please marry me. But marry me, like, 40 years ago, because you are 80 now and that would be creepy. Of course, I wasn’t born 40 years ago, so it’s possible this relationship will not work out….

*Ahem* Anyway.

It was just my luck that Jessica turned out to be a fantastic model! She’s beautiful and we had so much fun with her and her court. Shooting with a bunch of teenagers, while challenging, is totally fun.

I am really hoping that this was just the first of MANY quinceaneras and just the first of MANY shoots downtown! Seriously, if you call me anytime in the next six months, I’ll probably suggest we shoot downtown. :)
