Abigale :: Children's Portrait Session

Say hello to this cutie. Abigale was a very small portion as subject of my lens a few months back when I had a commercial branding session with her Mom and Dad. This time however, it was the Abigale show. :)

She was so delightful. Such a fresh face. I think the backdrop for her was perfect for her. The yellow truck was such an awesome find. Contrast on her polka dot dress and red bow was perfect. Lisa & Jonas, I offer 16 of my finest elephants and 7 of my best giraffes and 2 hand made, flower dyed rugs for your daughters hand in marriage to my son Ethan. ;) Hey, it could happen.

Happy Tuesday.

Seconds after we got this shot, the balloons slip out of her hands and flew away. She even waved goodbye. :)

Brittney & David:: Wedding in Lancaster Pennsylvania

Thoroughly enjoyed my time shooting this one with my great friend Tony Hoffer. Though, I've been to Pennsylvania before, (was very young) I'd never seen it during the winter. What a breath-taking place. You and Amy are the best of people Tony. Thank you for making me feel so welcome. He took me to Philly steaks, (no not cheese-steaks. Only non local noobs say that. It's just "steaks". Oh, for all the locals, Pat's KILLED Ginos. Yes, I had both. No contest.

Wedding took place in the city of Lancaster. To me it felt like I was on the set to Little House on the Prairie. Everything is still very green and though the leaves had fallen off the trees, there was still a lot of color. Bride and groom were awesome. Genuinely in love and made Tony and I feel like a million bucks. Also helps to have a fun bridal party that is up for ANYTHING. :)

Enjoy the set guys. Have a look at Tony's set when you get a chance. Cheers and Happy Monday!

While in Philly, we met up with some local photographers. Tony took this of me and Jason Presant as a parody to a shot he took that landed him inside Rangefinder magazine. So funny:

Serena & Andrew :: Engaged

Not too often do I get to shoot for friends. These guys actually attend the same church as my family and I, (First Church in the houuuuuse). Serena & Andrew will be marrying in just about a month.

Had a great time with you two. Wedding looks to be grand! Did their session in downtown San Jose and to our surprise, (mine anyway) we ran right into a Sharks tailgate. Being the only ones NOT in teal and black we had to get a shot. ;) Congrats again. Friends and family, feel free to leave your well wishes to the couple. Happy Thursday!

Our love is like....an...airplane! Okay so that quote didn't work but the shot is still cool.

I love this 1,000 times.


You guys are great sports. Thanks for putting up with me. ;)
