Animals in Disguise

Last night I attended my friend (and fellow photographer's) art show in Venice Beach. It was a cool, quaint, intimate setting with his close friends and family, and jalapeno-infused margaritas!

You can check out his work here.

Of course, I also took a few shots of the event myself and here they are:

and of course, what shoot would be complete without a quick bathroom session?

 Great work, J!

Alright, I know I've been talking for a while now about changes to Lady K Photography including a new name and logo. I was waiting for "the right time" and the "perfect presentation" but let's face it, that could be never, right?

So here it is!
See, I often slip into a slump where I feel like Im at a stand-still between rut road and accomplished alley. Last night, I came home after a long day, made a cup of tea, and did my usual bit of blog-following. I scrolled through and saw yet another gorgeous post from the oh-so-talented Emma Case and well, let's just say I headed down depression drive.

Her photos are always stunning and Ive watched her business boom in such a short amount of time. 'What the hell am I doing wrong' was all I could think.

Just as I felt like throwing my hands up and closing the doors on my little business due to massive envy and frustration, I told myself to knock it the eff off and made a quick turn onto highway 411!

I wrote out a lot of questions I wanted to know the answers to regarding success in this field and sent them off to Emma.

To my delight, she wrote back on her blog within a few hours!

After reading her response and really searching through my own soul, I channeled all my energy into changing my attitude and making this happen for me. To hell with slippery slumps and rubbish ruts! I am goal-driven on a oneway street to SUCCESS! I am going to do whatever I have to do to go from "dreaming a dream" to "living the dream"!

That being said, why wait to reveal the new name??

So... (drum roll please) here it is!

I am so excited about this and I am so ready to head off this new chapter in my career. There are still a lot of changes to come: a new blog look, a cool new logo, a website!! But hey, it's a work in progress and you gotta start somewhere.

I have to say thank you so much to all of you who have supported me and helped me out thus far. I couldnt do any of this without you.

Please continue to follow and watch me and my little photo business blossom!

Carolina and Simone: Home Cookin'

You may remember this cookin' couple from their sneak peak posted before I left for England.

Simone and Carolina are a lovely couple from Northern California who asked me to take photos of them at home, doing what they enjoy most; cooking.

Here they are, happily cooking up lunch, clinking glasses, and kissing the cooks

and here are the happy chefs with their friend and my dear Aunt Irene who has been more than amazing at helping me book jobs, including this one!

Bon Appetit!
