Santa Barbara Landscapes- Los Angeles Portrait Photographer

I love the outdoors. This was my first time in Santa Barbara, but I absolutely cannot wait to go back. They've got the mountains and the ocean-- the best of both worlds! I was on a retreat here with a group of friends. We went on hikes up to the top of the ridge to watch the sun set over the water. Here are some landscape shots I took from the top. What a wonderful experience!

I am just so in awe of the beauty of nature!

Seth Meyers at USC! Los Angeles Event Photographer

It's weekend update... with Seth Meyers in Bovard Auditorium at USC!

Okay, so maybe it wasn't the weekend. But that doesn't change the fact that I saw Seth Meyers LIVE last night at the greatest school on Earth!

You know on college tours, the tour guide always touts the great speakers or musicians who come to campus. As I sat in line waiting to get tickets to the evening's event, I felt like I had arrived at complete co-ed-dom. There I was, working away on homework on my laptop, wearing a USC sweatshirt and sitting with a group of friends to see events I only dreamed of attending when I was younger.

Yep, this is the life.

I was seated in the first balcony, but check out the picture-- the beauty of zoom! He had a strict no flash photography rule, though promised to pose at the end "like he was doing stand up", which he proceeded to do. What a goof ball! I managed to snap this without flash, however.

Seth did an hour of stand-up, covering a wide range of topics from politics, the economy, Europe, study abroad, towels (yes, you know the one-towel-for-everything idea), and his own life. A 20-minute Q & A followed where Seth was complemented for his pretty-boy appearance, which supplied him with the answer to the previous question: "What's the most awkward moment of your life?"

Seth is out on a college tour, and I'm so glad I was able to see him at his first show EVER in Los Angeles!

Fall Colors in April- Los Angeles Photographer

Hello hello!

Yesterday I had the college experience that high schoolers dream about. I found myself camped out in front of our school auditorium working on homework while awaiting the night's main event: stand-up comedy by Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers. If you know me, you know how much I appreciate witty humor. Needless to say, some of my friends and I were not going to miss this night! As we sat outside for over an hour to get seats, my friend Jodie commented on how fall-like the weather was. It's April in Los Angeles, but leaves are falling, the wind is blowing, and the evening air was rather chilly! Here's some fall color to fit the mood. Happy Wednesday!

And in case you're wondering, Seth Meyers was hilarious! Fabulous. Thanks, USC Program Board!
