Alice and I have worked together three times now, and I consider her a wonderful friend.

Some of you may not know this, but in addition to being a headshot photographer in Los Angeles, I am also a web designer. In fact, I am primarily a web designer. When I was about 14 years old, around the same time that my father gave me my very first camera, my mom had purchased a Gateway PC and our family got online! Out of school for the summer, I spent all of my time online, reading stories and exploring the newness of the world wide web. I started myself an Angelfire website (throwback! Anyone else remember Angelfire and Geocities?) and stayed up until the wee hours of the morning reading HTML...
