Chance Barber: Welcome!

Sunday I had the honor of taking photos of the newest addition to the Barber family! Chance was born on April 16th, so he is exactly 2 weeks old today and is such an adorable newborn. He was a little sleepy by the time I got to their house so we had a little trouble keeping his eyes open, but we managed to get a few good shots in. It is going to be so exciting to see this little guy grow up, and you can be sure that there will be many more blog posts about him!

Congratulations Lori and Tom! I can't wait to take the next set of pictures when he is a little more awake ;)

Claremont Engagement

Yesterday I had an engagement session with another one of my amazing couples! They decided to do the shoot on the campus of Pomona College in Claremont, which is an awesome location. It was pretty hot but we managed to stay cool enough in the shady areas of the campus. These two are getting hitched in June of this year and I am super excited for their wedding! They were so easy to work with which makes my job just that much easier, and it doesn't hurt that the bride is a total knockout! Take a peek....

I hope everyone had a great weekend, thanks for looking!

Long Beach Engagement

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with a great couple down at Shoreline Park in Long Beach. They must be an awesome couple because I am shooting their wedding on the most important day of the year....my birthday!! These guys are great though...it had to have been in the upper 80's yesterday and they stuck it out for me for an hour and a half and went along with everything. they were very laid back and easy going, which makes for easy photos!

We had a great time working with you guys and I look forward to your wedding and my birthday! hehe :)

Santa Barbara Engagement

Sunday afternoon I headed up the coast to beautiful Santa Barbara for an engagement session with an awesome couple. These two got engaged up here so it seemed fitting to do the shoot here as well. Driving up it looked almost like rain, but by the time we arrived it was nothing but clear skies. Check out some photos from the last shoot of my busy, busy weekend!

This was the exact spot where the magic happened!

Congratulations you guys and I can't wait for your wedding in June!

Sunday portrait session

Wow, what a busy weekend! Yesterday I shot a wedding in San Diego, Sunday morning I had this portrait session in Manhattan Beach, and Sunday afternoon I had an engagement session in Santa Barbara (check back soon for these)! I am finally back home and relaxing now...whew.

Stefanie is a singer/actress and she was looking for some new headshots to add to her portfolio. She is so beautiful and photogenic that it was impossible to take a bad photo of her! Don't believe me? Take a look!

Having a little fun...that's allowed right? I mean modeling must be hard work....these girls need a break sometimes!

Another break....yea she must be union :P

Torrey Pines Wedding

I was so excited for this wedding I shot today that I just had to blog about it ASAP! The wedding was held at The Lodge in Torrey Pines which is such an amazing location. The event was coordinated by the lovely girls over at Red Letter Days, and they did an amazing job and were such a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a great coordinator, look no further! Ok, lets take a look at some of my favorite photos from the day!

Note to photographers: This wedding was shot entirely with my brand new 1D Mark III. Oh how I love this camera!

A few of the details:

The beautiful bride looked stunning!

I had to get one last shot of the bride before the day ended, she just looked so amazing!

Well that ended an amazing day with an even more amazing couple. Congratulations you guys and I wish you the best of luck!
