Devin Roy Richards - 08.29.07

Today was a very exciting and special day for my brother Dale and his wife Stephanie as they gave birth to a healthy and handsome baby boy (their first I might add)!! Congratulations you guys, we all know you will be great parents! Check out some photos of the little stud:

Have you ever seen a cuter newborn?

I have 2 other nephews and 3 nieces, but they are all up in Washington state with the rest of my family, so I only get to see them a couple of times if year if I'm lucky! My brother Dale and I are the only ones who live down here in California, so I am excited that I get to see Devin grow up, which is something I unfortunately do not really get to see with my other nephews and nieces.

Gotta love it!

Today was a beautiful (and very hot!) day, so we decided to take our dog Sadie for a stroll down at the beach during sunset. I gotta tell you, California really is the place to be. Most of us that live here take it for granted, but when you think about it we really do have it good. Every time I travel, I always look forward to coming home. I have traveled to many different states and countries, and after all is said and done I would rather be no place else. Picture below from my iPhone.

Crystal and Shawn Wedding

I've been so busy that I haven't even had a chance to blog about the last wedding I shot with Rob Holley! This wedding was shot a few weeks ago at Biola University. Biola University is a private Christian university located in Southern California. For nearly 100 years, Biola has stood out as an institution grounded on biblically centered education, intentional spiritual development, and career preparation, where all faculty, staff and students are professing Christians.

I have not posted nearly enough photos of the guys recently...so here are a few for ya:

The happy couple:

The tunnel exit!

Random Friday Post

Pirate ships are cool! I was going through some old photos and I ran across this shot of the Black Pearl that I took. They were filming the 3rd movie down here last year off the coast of Palos Verdes, but when they were not filming it was docked in the bay of Redondo Beach, which is where this was taken. It was so cool to see this thing in person...it was huge!

Happy Friday everyone!

New Blog up and running!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a minute to promote my good friend Rick over at Rick One Designs. Rick is a graphic and web designer based in Souther California, and he did an awesome job modding my blogger page. I am stoked because I wanted to be able to post really big images, and now I can do that! It also now fits with the style of my main website.

If you have a blogger page and want to mod it then shoot him an email and he will be happy to help you out: rick@rickone.com

KISS Wedding Book arrived!

After only 2 weeks of anticipation I received my KISS Wedding Book studio sample, and let me tell you this thing is sweet! The quality is amazing, the prints look great and the leather is so supple. And the best part to me was how easy the ordering and upload process was. I had my spreads uploaded and the album ordered in 5 minutes, literally. I would highly recommend this album to all wedding photographers!
