Five Years of Manhattan Beach Family Portraits

Sunday we participated in the Thanksgiving weekend tradition of family portraits for the Krantz family. We started this when their daughter was just 1 years old--now she's 6. We look forward to keeping this going for at least another 12 years. We met at Manhattan Beach early on a Sunday morning, which was crawling with photographers taking family portraits. Get those cards crackin' folks!

Manhattan Beach Photographer | Manhattan Beach Family Photos

The Jones family headed west from Texas to bring their kids to Disneyland--and stopped by idyllic Manhattan Beach by the sea to meet with us for Manhattan Beach family photos at the Manhattan Beach Pier.
It was another amazing sunset evening, and the Jones gang was a whole lot of fun to spend time with. Call us local chauvinists, but we're betting they don't have summer nights like this back in Texas.

Another Rave Review from Long Beach Bride | Thanks Rose!

This just in from our beautiful June Long Beach bride, Rose! Thanks for the Yahoo Local writeup!
"I can't say enough about Jeff's work from Graham and Graham Photography. He captured all of the fun of the day (and night) and we now have so many fantastic shots to choose from--I'm blown away. He was professional and great to work with. We had pictures the next day, and a full album, framed photos and over 2000 pictures almost immediately. The quality is amazing. Thank you Jeff!"

Los Angeles Bat Mitzvah Party | The Mark for Events






After her Pacific Palisades Kehillat Israel Bat Mitzvah, Maddie and co. traveled across town to the Mark for Events, a really cool party facility on Pico., next to Factor's Deli, for a rocking Bat Mitzvah bash. How about that grand entrance?

Pacific Palisades Bat Mitzvah | Kehillat Israel

It was back to our most visited 2011 temple Saturday, Kehillat Israel in Pacific Palisades, for Madeline's Bat Mitzvah. She did a stand-out job, singing "Micha Mocha," and "L'dor V'Dor," chanting from the torah and wittingly talking about becoming "a woman," in a terrific speech. "Mazel Tov, Maddie!

Pacific Palisades Portrait Photographer | Bat Mitzvah




We met with Maddie at our all-time favorite Los Angeles portrait setting--Temescal Canyon Gateway Park, for this "sign-in" board session for her upcoming June Pacific Palisades Bat Mitzvah. Who could believe we're in the middle of a city with this amazing backdrop?

Pacific Palisades Bar/Bat Mitzvah Photographer | Kehillat Israel







We first met Brooke in Pacific Palisades at Temescal Canyon Gateway Park, one of our favorite hiking spots, to photograph her for the Bat Mitzvah reception sign-in board. It was a magical spot with perfect lighting, and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. We then met up again a few weeks later for her Pacific Palisades Bat Mitzvah at Kehillat Israel, our home away from home in 2011, our 6th visit of the year–with two more on the books in the coming months.
As always, lighting was amazing in the KI sanctuary and everything went perfectly–well, almost perfectly. There was a power outage moments before the service was to begin, but luckily KI had a generator they were able to drag into the sanctuary for amplification, and everyone got to hear Brooke and family without a hitch. And by the time the reception began in the social hall hours later, power was back to normal.

New Zealand part 2--Lyness cottage Kerikeri


Our second stop on the tour was to the Bay of Islands section of the North Island, about 3 hours north of Auckland. we enjoyed our stay at the Lyness cottages so much, we extended our visit for another two nights. A lush property on 2.5 acres overlooking the inlet, with sheep right outside the room, it was just hard to leave. Check out the video tour.

New Zealand holiday | Auckland | Ascot Parnell bed and breakfast


We open the New Zealand tour at the Ascot Parnell bed and breakfast in Auckland, run by the fun couple Bart and Therese, who played nice sports with us when we shot this video of breakfast time at their lively bandb. Ascot Parnell is in a great part of town, the Parnell district, a great walking area and did we mention that Bart picked us up at the airport?
thanks Bart and Therese for a great time!

Manhattan Beach Corporate Headshots | MIB Insurance

The folks at Media Insurance Services in Manhattan Beach had us over the other morning to do Manhattan Beach corporate headshots of all the staffers, hauling over our blue backdrop paper, Alien Bees and light and backdrop stands. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="600" caption="Headshots of Media Insurance Services"]Manhattan Beach Media Insurance Services[/caption]
We love the results, and so did they. Jemelia, from MIB, called us "awesome" on Citysearch!

Graham and Graham Photography and the Jewish Journal !

We're in the Jewish Journal this week, in the annual spring Los Angeles Bar/Bat Mitzvah issue, with a new ad designed around recent Bar Mitzvah subject Dorian, and that most iconic of shots from Leo Baeck Temple a few weeks back.

This is the first of four ads that will be running in the print edition of the Jewish Journal, the number one source of Jewish news, information and arts coverage in the Los Angeles area. Look for Ally from Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills and her big party from the Mark for Events next week.
Meanwhile, we're also seen in the online edition of the Jewish Journal, at JewishJournal.com, with ads featuring Dorian and Ali (not to be confused with Ally!) from our recent shoot at Culver City's Temple Akiba.

Culver City Bat Mitzvah | Temple Akiba | Bat Mitzvah Photographer

Ali's mom hired us for the Temple Akiba Bat Mitzvah back in...ahem, 2007, after Jacob's Culver City Bar Mitzvah--so we had lots of time to plan for this event.
We brought our reds and blues to have Akiba shine for us, and had a superstar in future supermodel Ali as our Bat Mitzvah. And as always, the amazing Rabbincal and Cantorial talents of Temple Akiba's Rabbi Zachary Shapiro and Cantor Lonee Frailich.
