Beautiful Models, Most Eligible Bachelor and Ms. California

Although I don't show it very often, I do photograph a lot of corporate and commercial work.  One of my biggest clients is Westfield Shopping Malls and they put on some of the most interesting events around.   

Last Friday's event was a VIP fashion show at their UTC property with some extremely talented models, Adrian Elam (former Ms. California) as a walking Ivy plant, and the dude from The Most Eligible Bachelor TV show (I don't know his name).  It was quite a mix of cool stuff and I was very lucky to be part of it.

 






















 

Mission Inn Riverside CA

I photographed for MPI Southern California's annual Educational Summit at the Mission Inn in Riverside. 

It was an amazingly happy group of people in the perfect setting of the Mission Inn.  If you've never been there before then it is worth a day-trip!  Better yet, spend the night!!!  Each of the rooms is architecturally different from the next.

Here are a few shots of the historic Mission Inn in Riverside.  Can't wait to work there again!  

San Francisco Architecture

I stayed at the Hyatt Regency in the Embarcadero area of downtown San Francisco.  The architecture is amazing anywhere you go in San Francisco, but I must have just gotten lucky because my hotel had some of the most amazing lines!!!  

 

Professional Event Solutions event at the Beautiful new Sheraton Hotel in Carlsbad

I was hired to photograph promotional photos for Professional Event Solutions last night at the Sheraton in Carlsbad.  

While I had almost 2 hours to photograph the decor, things didnt come together until just a few minutes before the event started.  So, most of what you see below is the result of about 15 minutes of photography.  Yes, that includes lighting set-up too!!!

A big hats off to Pierre at Professional Event Solutions and Debra Ayala at Sheraton, Carlsbad for pulling this one off!!!

AW2 - Wounded Warrior Symposium - Indianapolis

I had the extreme honor of working with the U.S. Army's Wounded Warrior Symposium in Indianapolis; it is an annual program that puts the Army's wounded soldiers into a room for 5 days to discuss areas in which the Army can improve treatment.  Most of the participants had pretty severe injuries, including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, loss of limbs, burns and mental problems.  I photographed the program last year as well and was happy to see that they invited the soldier's children this time around. 

Soldiers sat side-by-side with their spouses as they discussed the positive and negative things that the government is doing to make things right for the sacrifices they all had made.  The positive energy in the rooms made me truly emotional and excited to see the progress they were making...and made me proud to be an American!!  It gave new meaning to 'No Soldier Left Behind.'
