High Fashion Shoot - Julie


Well, I decided to do a spontaneous high fashion shoot. The lovely Julie was kind enough to oblige and as you can see, we had a lot of fun.

I think this is something that will definitely be happening again. I would love to get into fashion photography, but my recent move from Los Angeles to Denver doesn't really look like a step in the right direction. Who knows, maybe I can help make Denver a fashion capital? ....stop laughing, anything is possible!

Abigail's 1st birthday party!

Well, it's hard to believe my little niece is already 1 year old! I'm sure going to miss this little peanut when I move to Colorado, but I'm sure there will be lots of visits.

The food was great, the weather was absolutely gorgeous, and Abby had a great time! See for yourself...

I love the Beach

DSC_0015-EditTree


I went to Laguna Beach on Saturday. My wife and I met up with our cousin and a few friends for brunch at Las Brisas (which I highly recommend).

I spent the rest of the day bumming around the beach until later that night when we went to celebrate a friends birthday and see the band Upstart play at Mozambique. If you've never seen them play, you're missing out!


Enjoy the images!

Jody & Kate

DSC_0755

I was really looking forward to this wedding. The groom, Jody, and I were in a performing group together a while back and when I heard he wanted me to photograph his wedding, I was honored to. It was a bonus having it at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel! What a beautiful place. His bride, Kate, was beautiful and so great to get to know better. This couple really knows how to have fun (as you'll see further down).

Kate's dress was really stunning!

And of course the shoes and flowers were great!

Jody was looking sharp. I really dug his suit!

You've gotta love the little things. Those stories between two people that bring back memories of times together.

When you put these two together, they sure know how to have fun and laugh. It was so fun being with them on their special day.

It had been overcast the days leading up to the wedding. That day the sun came out literally minutes before the ceremony and we were blessed with a beautiful sunset while we were taking pictures.

So, we went down to the beach to take some pictures. These were on the way down.

On our way back up, we saw some surfers and one of them graciously lent their surfboard.
