The Happy Couple

When the husband interferes with decorating the living room for Christmas.

The Fam

Pasadena, CA -- We are family.

Modern Christmas 50s Style

Altadena, CA -- My wife and I had the great privileged of shooting our dear friend's Christmas card photos for 2013. Each year they have a theme. This year it's all about the 50s.

Merry Christmas Remembered

Pasadena, CA -- For the last decade or more, media, schools and other institutions have been substituting "Merry Christmas" for "Happy Holidays." We are told that by saying "Merry Christmas," it may offend those that may not recognize or celebrate Christmas. Yet I bet most that make that claim receive "Christmas presents."

I am now 52 years old and not once in my travels have I been asked not to mentioned the name Christmas. In fact, I go out of my way to say "Merry Christmas" to all strangers and business customers in Los Angeles.

This year in particular, I've noticed more and more department store employees using the salutation of "Merry Christmas." How refreshing! Those that do say "Happy Holidays," I will usually say "Merry Christmas" back or ask them what holiday they are referring to. In every instance so far..., they smile (as if I gave them permission), and say "Merry Christmas" back to me.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

A Christmas to Celebrate

Altadena, CA -- This year, Dave and Beth have a new addition in a red dress in their home. Truly a blessing. My wife, Amber and I had the honor to shoot their portrait this year.

Supporting Single Moms

Los Angeles -- While standing in line at the Pantry Cafe in LA, Vince was strutting his new, Christmas shirt for the passersby. I'm not a fan of what the shirt says (or it's meaning...) but I thought the photo was worth posting.
