Lizzy, Natalie & Victoria: Long Beach Lifestyle Photographer

Lizzy emailed me several weeks before her birthday asking if I was available to take pictures of her on her actual birthday, she wanted to do something special. When you’re the photographer in the family, like Lizzy is, it’s rare that you’re actually *in* the pictures. So for her birthday, Lizzy wanted some photos done...

I met Katie through Twitter several years ago, we were both going to a SoCal Photog Shootout and through the wonders of hashtags we connected. ;] We hung out that afternoon, I was definitely terrified of spending the day with other photographers… and was likely really clingy, but we became friends anyway and not too...

Umm..I’ve found two new places I need to check out in LA. And I love her tattoo :) And I love this whole session.

Katie is one of the most beautiful people I have ever had the opportunity to meet. We met on a “Will of God” moment…both of us lost someone that meant a whole bunch to us. And one day after she had been gone for sometime Katie and I posted something to the same person – I noticed she had a similar close friend of mine – so I asked her how she knew him. Come to find out we were at the time part of the same church…for months we chatted by Facebook…and then we finally met! I know God had our paths cross for purpose! She is a beautiful soul and these photos truly capture her soul! I have worked with so many photographers for years – and its a rare quality for a photog to capture something so pure but you have…and it is truly amazing!

When I was a junior in high school I took photography 101 with Mr. Talley. We shot with 35mm black and white film that we developed and processed ourselves in the dark room. It is one of the few classes I remember *loving* in high school, but there was one part I absolutely hated: every...

Francisca: Palos Verdes Lifestyle Photographer

Almost 2 years ago I wandered on to the campus of Da Vinci Science, I knew I was in for an adventure but I didn’t know how great of an adventure it would be, and let me tell you– it has been great. My favorite thing about Da Vinci is having the opportunity to get...

PASS: the shoot and share revolution

Yesterday morning when my alarm went off and I realized what day it was, my heart skipped like, 16 beats. I would say my heart stopped… but somehow I still managed to get out of bed and go to my class at the gym so it wasn’t *quite* that dramatic. ;] But throughout the morning...

Hello Stacee,
First, I love your photos!
Second, I too have caught wind about PASS. It really looks exciting! I am in the process of revamping my photography studio. If possible, could you send me an invite to PASS?
I need to do some research on the print options available to clients with PASS before I can commit.
I would greatly appreciate your help,

Jean Wines owner/photographer at JGW Studios
