Marc Allison Jeans shoot

Jules — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 08:47:18 +0000

Chris Jaros, owner of The Zoo FX, hired me to photograph and collaborate on creative concepts for this amazing new jean company, Marc Allison Jeans, that’s about to launch next month. The Zoo FX will be creating their website and handling all of their marketing campaigns and design. Today was the shoot for their new website! I loved how many different styles they had for us to work with!

Los Angeles Headshots

Jules — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:47:00 +0000

Many of you have met or spoken to my lovely assistant, Jessica. You know she is a smartie, but you may not know that she is also a gorgeous and very talented actress. This afternoon, make up artist Nicki Alkire dolled her right up so I could shoot her headshots. It was really fun! Living in LA, you’d think I might do this a lot more often.

I love how she can make herself look so different!

Hollywood Headshots

Jules — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 02:01:00 +0000

When you live in Los Angeles and you’re a photographer, the request for headshots is bound to come up sooner or later! Eric is an actor who came to me with such a request. Today we shot in my backyard for an hour or so and got a few different looks. It was fun to shoot something new for a change!

Are you an Actor in LA??

Jules — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 01:24:00 +0000

If you are an actor in Los Angeles, then this is the site for you!! My lovely and talented assistant, Jessica, along with her partner, Jamie, has started the very innovative business, Line Runners. Actors themselves, Jessica and Jamie created their company when they realized that actors needed to find other actors to, well, run lines with! Available practically ANY time of day, (you never know when you might get sides for an audition tomorrow!) you must check out their site if you have lines to run!

I was more than happy to spend an afternoon with Jessica and Jamie to shoot fun portraits for their new website. They are both such a crack up. Click here to check it out!

Wanda Wen

Jules — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:14:00 +0000

I have known Wanda for a long time. She is the founder and owner of the amazing paperie, Soolip. Wanda and I are working together on a book that she has written. I will be shooting all the images for it next week. Yesterday we went out to get a great shot of her for the dust jacket! Isn’t she beautlful?

Maison 140, Beverly Hills

Jules — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 18:50:00 +0000

My super talented friend, Robert Evans, was allowed to release one image to the press after he shot Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wedding. That’s kind of how I feel today about the cool boudoir shoot I did this weekend at Maison 140 in Beverly Hills. As a matter of privacy and also because the shoot is an anniversary surprise for her husband, here is the one image I was allowed to release!

Hair and make-up were done by my FAVORITE make-up artist, Jacey Cosentino of Pro Beauty to You.

Some Sexy legs…

Back in the Bay Area!

Jules — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 06:22:00 +0000

My twin sister, Joy, is an incredibly integral part of my business. She and I are best friends and lead about as opposite lives as you can imagine. (I’m single and live alone in West Hollywood. Joy is married with two beautiful children and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.)

I’m at her house now because tomorrow’s wedding is in Sonoma. I love shooting weddings in the Bay Area because it not only means Joy is my second shooter, but it means I get to play with my cute nieces, Penelope & Millie!

I used my “jb low red” preset on both of these images. I just love the look.

Maison 140, Beverly Hills

Jules — Wed, 23 May 2007 01:32:00 +0000

I love doing boudoir shoots at funky, cool hotels! Yesterday’s shoot was in a bright orange room at Maison 140 in Beverly Hills.

Most of the images were a little too racy for the internet, but here is a little sneak peak.

Boudoir

Jules — Sun, 13 May 2007 05:31:00 +0000

Today I was in Westwood at the W for a boudoir session with Stephanie. Although boudoir sessions are popular, the shoot is usually a surprise for the fiance. This means I don’t post any images. However, because Stephanie’s man knows about today’s shoot, she gave me permission to post a few of my favorites! I think she is so beautiful.

This was the first time I’d actually met Stephanie since she hired me over the phone months ago… but we hit it off immediately. She is really fun, and I’m looking forward to the engagement shoot I’m doing with her and Jeremiah tomorrow.

Stephanie’s hair and make-up were done by the very talented Jacey Jean Costentino. I have worked with Jacey many times now, and I highly recommend her.

I also invented a new xmp file JUST for Stephanie: “jb vintage red.” I used it on almost every image below.

Casual portraits

Jules — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 23:19:00 +0000

Today I had the opportunity to photograph a very interesting woman. Lori is a producer, and she needed some promotional headshots for a new documentary she is working on. She really wanted a more natural, casual look, and we were both very happy with the results.

Here are a few of my favorites:

my beautiful mom

Jules — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 21:12:00 +0000

Recently my sister and mom came to visit. The first day we spent having fun and going to the spa… the second day they worked in my office to help me get organized for the new year. My family rocks. Mom needed a new headshot for the Bear Valley Music Camp that she runs every summer, so we shot one in my living room against my favorite blue couches!

isn’t she pretty??
