Be sure to pay attention in episode 5 - she is one of the campers in a couple of scenes with Kristin Bell. Congratulations, Madelyn! Alison Siegel Friedman

Beautiful Lauren C. Snowden is an accomplished author, director, artist, and professor. She needed images that reflect her caliber for IMDB, her website, and various professional work. Lauren recently wrote a story for the Hallmark channel, which just premiered last month! She's one to watch...and she nailed this shoot with her authentic and radiant smile.

I have the pleasure of photographing a marvelous annual awards event for local community theaters in Ventura County - we liken it to the Tonys. Several theaters were able to share their favorite moments of their seasons with the guests. Here are a few of the highlights. Rena Petrello

Meet my new friend Rachel Lindsay Sanchez. You know her (and her twin sister) as the youngest daughter Carrie on Little House on the Prairie! Crazy timing - I had JUST read an article about her and the cast this morning, not knowing she would be in my studio today (she had not yet revealed to me her childhood fame when she booked her headshot session a few weeks ago). Rachel is up to some great things - She is still an actor, a realtor at ReMax, and the treasurer of a nonprofit organization, A Minor Consideration, to give guidance and support to young actors. http://aminorconsideration.org/the-amc-team/
By the way, did you know Little House was filmed right here in Simi Valley?
