RAW Hollywood Photographer of the Year

It’s official! I can now call myself RAW Hollywood Photographer of the Year. Quick shout out to anyone who voted and got me into the top 5 . Semi-finalists were judged, narrowed down to 3 and winners were awarded on November 21st at OHM Nightclub in Hollywood. It was a fun night full of fashion, art and music!

What does a gal with a bump wear to such an event? “Comfortable” was on the tip of my tongue. No heels, no confining fabrics… I was in for a long night and I needed to feel as good as possible. I went with a high wasted, simple, clean dress that had a bit of embellishment around the collar, threw on a pair of boots and headed to the show!

RAW: Hollywood presents Translations

I was honored when I was asked to shoot the latest RAW show in Hollywood. They’re always a fun-filled evening full of art, fashion, music and so much more. I’m not an event photographer. This was my first time diving into the craziness that is a live event and it kicked my butt! I learned a lot and had a lot of fun in the process, not to mention I got to work with a lot of lovely and talented people.  Below are a couple of beauties from the album…
