2011 ESPYS

For the past few years I've been fortunate enough to shoot the ESPYS preparties in L.A. This year was a little extra bonus as I got to shoot the red carpet/award room for the actual event. It was a great week! I love this event because I've had the opportunity to see some of the same people over and over and build some really cool relationships. One of my favorite moments was a conversation in a club with LeAnn Rimes...
LeAnn: "Have we met before?"
Me: "I don't believe so."
LeAnn: "Are you sure? Cause you look really familiar."
Me: "Yeah, I'm pretty sure."
LeAnn: "Well, I guess you just have one of those familiar faces."

If she wasn't standing next to her new beau, Eddie Cibrian, I'd think she was hitting on me! (ok, not really) Anyway, both she and Eddie were very kind and allowed me to take a shot of them (see below) even though they've been keeping private lately.
