Most people would agree that the city of Los Angeles is not much of a city. There is no apparent center, no real pedestrian life, and to top it all off, within Los Angeles, there are a bunch of incorporated cities, the most famous of which is Beverly Hills, closely followed by Santa Monica, lesser known cities within LA to non-Angelenos are West Holllywood, Culver City and Century City. (Did I miss any?) I still don’t quite understand why some “neighborhoods” became cities. I understand that they then can control their own fate, but if you ask me it seems to me like a lot of redundant bureaucracies. Anyway, I recently shot in one such city, namely Century City for this recent family Holiday shoot.


It was great seeing them again, and seeing how big their baby daughter had grown. She was a very tall one and a half year old, walking up a storm. Mom had warned me that she might take a while to warm up, but she was game from the minute we said go and we had fun playing around Century City, which is also where Mommy happens to work. Mom is also expecting Number Two, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at her, she looked fantastic.


I have to say I’m a sucker for blue eyes and this little girl’s one are exceptional, which she definitely inherited from Daddy. My older son has slate blue eyes that change a little depending on what he wears, but this little darling’s eyes are blue through and through and couldn’t be more gorgeous! Don’t you agree?
