Under the Pier in Santa Monica, CA

I had my first getaway to California in more than 2 years this past weekend. It was an incredible time with family and friends in Palm Springs, Santa Monica and Venice. I even got out to the famed Joshua Tree Park for a few hours. I can't wait to get back there and shoot again soon. I'll post more photos in the coming days. In the meantime, here's a few out takes from an impromptu photo shoot I did with the beautiful Fanny Richards, at the beach and pier in Santa Monica, CA.
