Tabitha and Sean are so much fun to be around, they are so goofy with each other and that really came out in some of these photos. We started our session at a park in Beverly Hills and then we headed over to Westwood for some phenomenal rooftop photos. Sean works in the building, and after jumping through all the right hoops, he got us access to the roof! A change of clothes, and a little attitude later, we had the scene set for some LA flair. Tabitha & Sean are doing an awesome choreographed dance at their wedding and they practiced it on the helipad for me. Check out the triptic below, It’s the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers of 2008…I love it!

Hey everyone, heres another quick biscuit. I’ve had several people ask about good font management software, and for all you designers out there, you know this is a staple. I switched from Extensis Suitcase a few years ago after I found Linotype Font Explorer X, which I absolutely love. Aside from it’s inability to operate in a server setting, it’s proven to be better than Suitcase in every way, including the fact that its FREE!

Once installed, it will automatically monitor what adobe apps you have open, and will activate fonts for each seperately, as you active them in the Explorer. You can organize the fonts into groups that you use regularly or by style. This will allow you to keep your system running fast and smooth. Most people don’t know that fonts are one of the main reasons why applications like Photoshop start to get bogged down (photoshop load screen takes forever).

Tip: Keep the number of fonts in your system folder down to a select few, and this will help speed up both your operating system, and your graphic programs! (You can do this from within FontExplorer)

Go to their website and grab the lasest version for free before they change their minds and start to charge for it!

Thoughts or comments, we’d love to hear them!

Aubrey & Jett are getting married at the lovely La Venta Inn, and so we thought we’d do their engagement session in Palos Verdes. I met at their place in Hermosa Beach, (which has an awesome rooftop terrace that I was really jealous of) and then we headed over to Palos Verdes to find some locations. It’s rare that we get good clouds in So Cal, but we were blessed with a dramatic sky that day and I took full advantage of it. After working with some architecture, Jett wanted to go down to the beach. He took us to this gorgeous cliff and we discovered the hillsides were covered in yellow daisies. It was so unexpected and so perfect! I love the image with the two birds flying overhead. It was one of those images you know right away is amazing, almost as soon as you hear the shutter click, because everything just fits, it just falls into place.
