I gave my hand at my first baby shoot a couple weeks ago and had a great time. Micah was an adorable and very well behaved baby. He is only three months old and has more than enough hair to get it cut! He was a great subject and very aware of the camera and his surroundings. Here is a shot of him after our shoot when he had just fallen asleep...kind of makes the heart break a little...in a good way of course:).
I had so much fun with Patrick & Michele! They celebrated their wedding last Friday, September 23rd. Besides the fact that they are very much in love with each other, they are two friends of ours, which made the day that much more special. They got married at Presidio Park in downtown San Diego, then we made our way to the Oceanside Pier to shoot some photos...which also happens to be the same place they got engaged!
The whole day was very special from start to finish, and I wish Patrick and Michele only the best!
Have I ever mentioned that I love my job! Today I got the chance to photograph this beautiful home in La Jolla, CA. There is a concentration of unique and amazing homes in this area, but this on in particular is worth showing. I personally love the modern feel of the home, and of course the added bonus of having the ocean staring back at you wherever you turn.
Growing up, along with sports, I always had a passion for creating art...namely I loved to draw, paint and charcoal. I also went through a phase when I wanted to be an architect. On days like today, when I get to combine my passion for art along with being able to see some amazing architecture, I feel especially blessed to be doing what I am doing.
Oh yeah...and by the way if anybody is interested in purchasing this home it is running a cool $7.5 million!
Chad and I went over to check out the progress on the new home and decided to take Emma along for the ride...it must be nice to be a dog and to have going for a ride in the car the most exciting event of the day...the simple pleasures in life!
This past weekend Chad and I decided to revisit our childhood and carve some Halloween pumpkins. The night went quite well actually. We broke out all the supplies, drew the faces on our pumpkins and proceeded to carve away. Much to our delight, our pumpkins came out quite nicely. We both felt good to know that our 'mad pumpkin' carvin' skillz' from childhood had not vanished over the years.
So we did the whole bit. When we were finished, we took the pumpkins out to the front of the house and even conducted our very own pumpkin lighting ceremony. Boy were we proud. And to make the situation even better a neighbor walked by and complimented out fine work.
Our smiles quickly turned to frowns as I discovered that after we had brought our pumpkins in for shelter from the fires, apparently extreme climate had caused the perfect scenario for a mold farm inside our pumpkins.
Needless to say the fruits of our labor was very short lived...there's always a bright side though right...well in this case I believe the moldy pumpkins have at least made for some interesting pictures.
