About Alisa Rigolin

My work primarily focuses on behind-the-scenes photography, event coverage, and portrait photography for artists and brands. As an insider in the creative community, I have the privilege of capturing those intimate moments of artistic expression that often go unseen. When it comes to events, I strive to encapsulate the energy and excitement of the city's ever-changing landscape. In my portrait photography, I aim to reveal the heart and soul of each subject, crafting images that reflect their stories and aspirations.

When working with beautiful and talented Carla Hasset, inspired by a sudden coffee craving, we made an emergency stop at Jane Q, a stylish Hollywood coffee bar with a touch of Hygge. We were hoping to take a break from the labors of modeling and portraiture, but overcome by the ambience and the affectionately soft lighting, we ended up taking some of our best photos there. Our oat milk lattes might have gotten cold, but the session was a definite success.

Carla Hassett is a Los Angeles based session singer, guitarist, songwriter, recording artist, producer, and music educator. A native of São Paulo Brazil and schooled in the recording studios of Chicago, Carla has appeared with Billy Idol, Sergio Mendes, Flora Purim and many more.

From popping in to the Original Farmers Market to sampling Ladurée’s French macarons on the freshly cut lawn, The Grove has a lot to offer anyone longing to get lost in what looks like a Pleasantville movie set.

"Ten years ago, Caro Pierotto took a big chance. She ditched a steady corporate paycheck, left behind family and friends, and traded her native Brazil for Los Angeles.

Caro had it in her heart to write her own songs, to sing and perform. She put together a band and called it Marbella. First song collection of fiery sounds found audiences hungry for Caro’s world music in faraway places like Indonesia, France, and her new home, America.”

We all need a pick-me-up once in a while. Well, Dominique Ansel Bakery at The Grove has a lot of those to offer. My advice? Start with something simple. Like cannelé de bordeaux. Polish it off with some madeleines. Really work your way up to that double chocolate pecan cookie. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
