AWESOMETIME

Such a fantastic day on a hill with amazing light, and an incredible couple modeling like professionaleee, oh yeah spelled it with a "alee"
Ooh awesome glow of the sun~
The fantastic couple
I just heart this photo~ (you must see this big! click on it, click on it!) :D
Using some off camera flash for some drama~
And the power of the fantastic 135mm smokin lens~

Gentleman

Hey all! Sorry it has been quite a while since the last post.
This time I was able to take pictures of a guy not being part of a couple, which quite frankly is not a common feat! W you were really awesome modeling through pretty much the wierd visions I had which later made sense right? right? Starting off with one of my favorites near a freeway...
Some nice portrait shots to warm up...
I asked W to pretend he was looking into a mirror and adjusting his tie, or hair etc. I guess he has the natural model in him posing this way...
and that way
I asked W to jump around ALOT on this hill to catch this perfect moment: (the hills, his leg, the shadows all line up in parallel)(thanks again for all the moving around!)
Onto calmer settings loved the light in this room:
The mood in this one is a definite fave:

AQUARIUM

I got to visit a awesome aquarium which was a camera taking dream come true. There were so many folks taking pictures and you can see why right? Ocean life is so interesting...
Even this kelp looks so cool~
A school of fish taken just as they hit the beams of light from the surface...
The jellyfish area was quite incredible to see...

One of my favorites taken from the day--I love the blue tones:These guys were so-o cute, about the size of a penny...ok I think it probably would have been more interesting to state some facts about these creatures but I was so busy oohing and ahhing how awesome they were, I kinda didn't get a chance to...
How cool are they? There was this area where an jellyfish display was within a hallway with entire wall to wall from floor to ceiling showing of jellyfish. Quite an incredible thing to see.

REUNION

I got to attend an old high school friend's wedding as a guest, and yes though I was a guest I couldn't resist bringing my camera. It was a wedding but also a reunion among a couple of old high school buddies. It was great to see you guys kickin' and well! Check out this beautiful location, very private surrounded by stunning victorian houses that I believe are used for banquets.
The cute ring bearers, (going the wrong way! Maybe they just didn't want to miss a good photo op? ^_^)


While alot of phototaking was going on, I had to take a picture of my friend since she was decked out and looking so lovely!
An adorable kid
The happy bride and groom! (N and C) You guys look fabulous! Congratulations again guys!

FIRST

I had a great session with a wonderful couple expecting their child very very soon! We got to go to a local park with S and D. The couple recently passed their recent 5 year anniversary ! Exciting times are ahead for their cute daughter to come !
As with any park, there are alot of geese and duck and of course with that came poo, but that didn't faze the couple one bit on lying on the grass and getting some awesome shot. (we did find some patches of grass that were clean!)
Check out the hot bump!
Enjoying a peaceful moment:
Just a nice portrait moment--or maybe D is just tickling S's belly? hehe
S and D having a wonderful conversation next to a beautiful lake, with the beautiful golden light! :)

FRESH

S and I went and had a awesome day of photographic fun! I remember when I was initially talking with her and she was asking what kinda theme we should work around. Without a moments hesitation I knew she could completely pull off an urban edgy shoot.
She was asking, could I? Am I able to? Check out below to see!

We were rolling around the garage floor, going under the stairs admist good ol' carbon monoxide...but oh so stylishly..at least for S
The garage is fantastic with so many neat crooks and crannies to go to. Absolutely beautiful light featuring a beautiful model!The light in the garage is neato...
Ooh, so then we went to the rooftop of the garage to capture this smokin' shot! (side note with a smokin' car)


Thanks for rolling around the lovely garage floor and putting up with the crazy ideas! And thanks mucho to V for helping out and coming along on the shoot! It was fun!

SUPER!

J is a very talented celloist, and back when I was scouting for volunteer models I was happy to find out that J would be ecstatic to volunteer. Not only that, but she also wanted to bring her cello for the shoot and oh did my mind wander with a frenzy of ideas. It was so cool to hear her play the cello as it echoed through the hills:This was when it started to sprinkle a bit, but we didn't let it deter us from taking pictures, we took some shelter under a tree
I actually found a wonderful field of yellow flowers I wanted to do some pictures in, unfortunately it was almost all plucked and cut, but we found a little bit left

J found a cool pile of wood to sit on, hey anything can be a prop!Mostly though, we had alot of fun and though we did get some good moody pictures it was all about having fun! woot!
