month: July 2009




I was really happy to hear from an old friend living in Italy last week. We ended up connecting for a fun family session in Seal Beach under the pier. It was a blast chasing Christian around trying to capture some great expressions!

Enjoy the images!

It has been a few months since I have photographed a little ones birthday party. That ended last weekend when I had the opportunity to capture Little Noah’s first birthday in Huntington Beach. I really don’t have to say it, but I will. Noah is crazy cute! You will probably think so too. Kids crack me up. They all react to their environment in different ways. Noah cried when it was time for cake with the group watching and singing happy b-day, but the images are priceless.
Hope you like them too.

I just finished processing the images from Casey and Charles session and had to go 2.0 on the blog. I thought these images needed to go up. They really captured Casey and Charles fun dynamic.
Cheers!

These are a couple of my favorite people in the world about to make another one of my favorite people. I had a great time taking a couple “prego shots” as Christine puts it. We had a incredible BBQ dinner at The beachwood BBQ in seal beach, then set off to capture the bump.
I’m Looking forward to photographing the baby in the hospital very soon!

Enjoy the images!

I must say I’m really looking forward to Casey and Charles Big Day next year! Their wedding is going to rock. Our urban engagement session in Long Beach was a blast! Thanks Charles for bringing some cool Props! Love the boom box. Also I can’t take credit for the blur shopping cart shot….It was Charles idea. Just happy I was there to capture the fun!

Enjoy the images!

After talking on the phone a couple times with Kristen last week, we decided on an engagement session with an urban feel. I really find it interesting how we (as humans;) paint a mental picture in our minds of people we speak with on the phone. Actually, what’s really cool is when the person in no way fits your image. Yesterday was my first time meeting Kristen and Dave, and this was one of those times! I was definitely digging their style, and felt their connection instantly. My favorite kind of engagement session.

Enjoy the images!

This session was a blur. Ilana and I had a brief window of time to shoot a casual session with Jenny and Rob on Friday up in San Francisco. Rob was scheduled to meet up with all his groomsmen for the Giants game (It was a no hitter!) so we had to double time it around the city. Our speed photography session was a blast! Enjoy the images!
