This past August Orsi PR introduced me to my beloved client, Sanrio. We did our first photo shoot together for Wal-Mart's 2011 Back to School adverting. Always a fun filled day with the Orsi & Sanrio team. A day filled of pink, sparkles, bows and Hello Kitty will bring the inner little girl out in everyone!!

AKA Mom Magazine Photo Shoot with Jodie Sweetin

I recently had the pleasure to work with one of my favorite people for AKA Mom Magazine; Jodie Sweetin. I shot Jodie along with her amazing and wonderful family. You won't find more humble, caring, loving and down to earth individuals as Jodie and husband (to be) Morty. They raise their girls, Zoie and Beatirx with laughter, positive discipline and endless love. This family is rooted with sweetness through and through... I just adore them!
