I was so truly honored to be a part of a Wedding Bee GTG last Sunday with a bunch of Bees, Bride2bes, readers and the creator, owner, main blogger, wedding star, wedding guru…(should I continue? I could go on all day) of the Wedding Bee site.

I feel completely embarrassed because I had sent Bee the images straight out of my camera with no processing, retouching or love and with a dinky copyright line that my image viewer does in pink. Adi was like, “How could you!”
So, when I saw the images posted on her blog, I was like, uh oh. So, here are a few of them with a little Next Exit love and cuddle.

Also, I need to add that Bee and Miss Glitter went to the same high school as me!!! Weird small world!

Adi and I had the pleasure of photographing emerging artist, Kristie Fujiyama Kosmides, for her new PR kit and other media resources at her studio in West Hollywood. It’s always nice to be hired to do this type of creative work and we jump at the chance whenever it comes our way. Kristie has a show coming up on April 5th in Culver City and I encourage all of our blog readers to stop by and see (or purchase!) some of her amazing work.

As you might have read here on the blog, my brother, Jeff Krantz, is an upcoming singer songwriter about to take over the world. Adi photographed him on the streets of Hollywood for his PR kit and wouldn’t ya know, the prestigious Billboard Mag decided to publish one of the killer images with a killer article all about Jeff! OMG
All of the music on our wedding and portrait websites are written by and crooned to by Jeff. Make sure to check out his myspace page to listen to new songs and the read latest info on his amazing and growing career.

I met Cynthia Vuong at a recent Next Exit wedding and we got to talking. Adi and I are always interested in community fundraising efforts so we invited the entire Asian Pacific Coalition at UCLA to help them fundraise here at the Next Exit Studio! We started with a few board members to go “Tyra” in our space and we’re hoping to get all 200 graduates in here next week! A portion of all of the funds will be donated to their club.
If you belong to a club or charity that needs to raise money (whether it be a senior class in high school going on a trip, a swim team, a drama club or a school orchestra, you name it!) Let Next Exit help you raise the cash by getting your photos snapped!! Your families will all want to buy (trust me) and it’s as easy as that.There is no fee or any financial commitment. Just a commitment to have fun!!

Just contact us at the Next Exit Studio for more information.

Wedding planning isn’t easy. (I should know!) That’s why it is so fabulous for all brides and grooms to hire a pro for their wedding day. Whether you can afford somebody for the day-of, month-of or full service wedding coordination, Adi and I are happy to refer you to a list of wonderful coordinators that we love working with.
Rebecca Stone of {duet} weddings is one of those gals. We had the pleasure of working with her at Lauren and Eddy’s wedding at Firestone Vineyard last year. We can’t wait to work with her again on Amber and Mike’s wedding at the same fabulous location! We are so honored that she wanted Next Exit Photography to shoot her new bio pic for her brand new website debuting any day.

I was so excited to shoot a new headshot for an extremely talented actress and Saturday Night Live alum, Melanie Hutsell.
It was such a pleasure getting to know her, as I have been a long time fan! I’m sure all of our blog readers remember her killer impression of Jan Brady”¦ Well, now she’s a smokin’ hot mom!

My new actor’s headshot website should be launching soon, so STAY TUNED!

To launch the opening of the new West Los Angeles Next Exit Photography Studio, I offered a promotion to a few of my actor friends (and their actor friends) that could not be passed up. Word spread so quickly, that I had every space filled within 6 hours, as well as a 60-person waiting list! Don’t worry, I promise that I will be having several specials over the next few months.
I love shooting actors. A few of my blog readers know that I worked in the theater for many years. Some of my fondest memories are from directing children’s theater in my early twenties at the Santa Monica Playhouse, where I also preformed in nearly 20 musicals from the age of 8 until I left for college. Of course, I ultimately chose a different path”¦
Anyways, if you are interested in a headshot, please email me at cat@nextexitphotography.com for rates and to schedule an appointment. If you are a manager or an agent, let’s talk! My studio is conveniently located by the 10 & 405 freeways.

Two actresses, one mission”¦to get a great headshot!
Monica is a working actress and singer. She is such a sweet girl and she’s getting married later in 2007 to a very lucky guy.
Katie is still in high school and will be performing in an upcoming production of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” one of my favorite shows. She totally reminds me of “mini-coop.”
I loved taking advantage of our new dual-purpose portrait studio, which allows me to shoot through the barn doors with gorgeous natural light and also on the other side with soft boxes and gizmos for a controlled light scenario.
Have I mentioned how much I love our new studio!???

This morning, we had the honor of shooting a headshot for the Regional Account Executive and Head Trainer of Peter Thomas Roth, Mehrak Safajoo. PTR is a clinical skin care line with the very best products on the rack. Mehrak totally hooked me up with a gift bag of goodies (a girl’s dream!) because she was so thrilled with the results. Our good friend, Michael Zokai, from the Printing Depot in Westwood, referred us. Thanks, Mike!~
