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!

The groom relaxing waiting for the first look with his gorgeous bride. The guys have it easy don't they?

The bride and her entourage heading down for the first look. Look how excited she is!

Feel the anticipation?

Some relaxed portraits of the two....this one is my favorite!

Ceremony time....I love this shot.

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

The first dance.....

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

Devin Richards: 5 months

Well I am back from WPPI and it is soo nice to be home! The show was amazing and I met so many great photographers and I am definitely looking forward to next year.

So I am a little late on posting this since Devin is now 6 months, but better late then never I suppose. We did these shots at my brothers house using my favorite type of light....natural window light. Stay tuned for 6 month shots soon!

I just realized that I have been shooting an awful lot in portrait orientation...no idea why! Hope you liked them!

Cheers

Off to WPPI

Well folks, I am off to WPPI in exactly 12 hours! This will be my first time attending and I think it will be a great opportunity for me to network with other amazing potographers and learn as much as I can from all of the various seminars. It should be tons of fun and I am definitely looking forward to it!

To all clients: I will have limited access to my emails, so if I do not get back to you right away please be patient. If for some reason I cannot get any access then I will be returning home Thursday and will promptly return your email then.

Walling & Maertz Engagement

Engagement season is upon us, so expect many engagement session posts in the near future! Yesterday I headed down to Laguna Beach to do a session for a really great couple of mine. We had access to a private beach, so we took advantage of it and avoided the crowds on such a beautiful day. I love Laguna because of all the cliffs and rocks they have....I can't find anything like this where I live! Check out a few of my favorites from the day.

Lori + Tom + baby Chance: Pregnancy

Sunday was a beautiful day here in southern California, so we decided to take a stroll to my favorite local beach to do a portrait session for my girlfriends sister, Lori. Lori is almost 9 months pregnant, so they wanted to get some photo's taken before she's due. Be sure to check back for pictures of the little guy once he arrives!

We started the session off at their house
