Ashley: Acoustic or Electric? Both!

Sooooo, Ashley loves guitars. She even knows how to play them. ;) Seriously, Ashley rocks, and she wanted to get some cool pics with her guitars since she didn't end up getting Senior pics taken with me. Check it out! And then, after the pics, click here to view the album I put together for her from these shots and more.

Engaged: Crystal & Mark

Woohoo! Another e-session at the coast. I love doin' these. Every time I go over there I find a new place to shoot so it's easy to keep it fresh. Speakin' of fresh, check out this smokin' hot couple........meet Crystal and Mark. We started in downtown San Luis and then made our way over to the pier in Pismo to finish it off at sunset. I'm lookin' forward to their big day for sure. Check out some of my favs from the day. Enjoy!

'09 Senior: Kyle

So Kyle flew all the way from Arizona for me to photograph his Senior pics. Alright, so it wasn't all for me. His Dad's wedding was the same weekend and we just so happened to plan Kyle's Senior session at the same time. Pay attention for his Dad's wedding blog post soon too. Anywhoo, Kyle was kind enough to let me use him as my subject so that I could try out my new Canon 5D MkII and some new lighting techniques that I've been itchin' to implement in some Senior sessions. Soooo, many thanks to you Kyle for that. It was really cold and foggy the morning of the shoot but that didn't dampen our spirits. Check out some of my favorite shots.

Engaged: Stephanie & Jared

Whoaaaa! Two blog posts in one day. Can you tell I'm tryin' desperately to play catch up? You know it!

Stephanie and Jared are gettin' married, and I was fortunate enough to be chosen as their photographer. So, thanks guys for that. You both are soo sweet, and yeah, I can say that to a guy. :P I mean Jared writes love notes in the steam on the shower door....doesn't get much sweeter than that right? It's so obvious you guys are ridiculously in love with each other. I can't wait for the wedding.

Expecting: Brooke & Michael

So yeah....first order of business. It's been waaaaaayyyyyy too long since I've made a blog post. Almost 6 months to the day. Well, it's not because I haven't been shooting. Just the opposite actually. I've been shooting lots and the last priority was blogging. Seems clients actually wanted to get their images for their walls rather than see them on the blog. Go figure! Pffft!

Anywhooo, it's a new year and I figure I'd start thigs off with a bang and show one of my latest maternity sessions that I dig. Brooke and Michael are cousins and the family has long been harassing them about havin' some babies. Well, guess what, it finally paid off because they're going to be havin' a little one any day now. These were some of my favorites.
