Happy 24th Libby!!!

The 24 cupcake birthday cake

Libby! You're 24 now! How does it feel? The same? what!!? thats ridicules! You're a whole year older! You should at least feel more mature, more seasoned and now able to handle each and every scenario with ease. Libby, you're in your prime. Everyone envy's the primetime.

I will be photographing a wedding with Ira on Saturday (tomorrow) so I won't be able to attend Libby's birthday party/bash/dance off... I'm disappointed... but! I'm happy I was invited to the family party!

Want to see some pictures from last night?? Keep scrolling down, it'll make you feel 24 again and if your not yet 24...you'll get a taste of your future.

"Happy Birthday to Libby-Libb"

The wish was made, the blowing begins.

I love Noah's face here!

Thats my God son!

Couples! Notice how our arms are the same for both couples. WILD!

Putting the faces together.

Get wild

Yeah, she knows how to get the party started.

The ladies!

Libby and the men!

Yes, same boots all around... not planned I was told.

I'm 23!

I had an amazing time celebrating my 23rd birthday at the standard last friday Day/night/morning. So much fun relaxing by the pool, ordering cocktails while doing an impromptu shoot. Dancing all night and then sleeping good in the Standard's deluxe rooms.

Heres a teaser shot. the rest will be up tonight... or at least some of the rest.

Cheers!

Godfather on Melrose

I spent much of late tuesday doing just that... being a Godfather to Noah "Lil Jackson" Pacheco while his Dad Ceasar got a tattoo at LA INK.
I'd like to post some images of the tattoo, but then I'd get my legs broken by a few different people...its just not that worth it.
I will post a shot of Noah and his Nino between seeing Ceasar's half finished tattoo and dinner.(see above)


I like good graffiti like this, its one of my best friends.
Ann and I spent alot of time in limbo, relaxing and waiting for the tattooing process to be over.
I'll post a blog letting you know when the show will air and where to look for me carrying Noah onto the set for his first ever 3 minutes of fame. I have a feeling this kid is going to have alot more then 15 minutes of fame, but if thats not the case, he only has 12 more.

Ceasar's Tattoo turned out AMAZING! Hannah from TLC's LAink did an amazing job and anytime Ceasar's on camera, its always worth watching... stay tuned!!!

P.S. Ceasar is an amazing Make-up/Hair Stylist/designer. If you wanna look real good for some reason...hit him up, he's located in Huntington Beach. "The Vault" Ask for Ceasar.

I'm a GodFather! (Nino)

Noah Pacheco (I call him "lil Jackson" since I got hooked on the thought of naming him Noah Jackson from the start) Anyways, he was born to 2 of my best friends in the whole world (Ceasar and Anneliese) Born, November 8th (nearly 2 weeks ago!)
I feel bad I haven't posted him on my blog yet, I've been slow with the blog flow lately...I'll catch you up on everything soon, have no worries!

I was sooo honored to be asked by Ceasar and Ann if I would be Noah's Godfather, I'm so excited and thrilled and also nervous to have such responsibility. Being a Godfather isn't an easy task, so I'm reading up on it and making sure I'll do a good job.

This Baby is super cute too, I'm so happy for them!!!

Love you guys Ceasar and Ann!

Take a look at this strapping young lad.

The Artery @ The LAB

The show went well, I was happy with my piece, a great turnout added to the fun and I took a few fun pictures from the opening.
The show is up until the 3rd of November. Go see it @ The LAB (behind Urban Outfitters)

Alright children, enjoy your day.
