Seattle to San Diego
Back in the olden days (of college) Juliana was one of my professors for a couple of upper level psychology classes. Her role as counseling professor superhero morphed into general all around superhero when I started watching her then toddler-sized kids, and we began cultivating a 13-year long friendship. During my college graduation I was [...]
Portland to Seattle
A few shots from a trip up to Portland and Seattle; aka the place I like to gain weight and catch up on my rain intake.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS FROM THE MERCURY II
Sometimes you have to produce some crap to get to the good stuff (or simply call that crap “art” and call it a day). As I described in an earlier post about my Mercury II 35mm film camera, if I can’t take good pictures with this hunk of metal, it’s my own fault (according to [...]
Second Shooting: Condor’s Nest Ranch
Another fun-filled Saturday shooting with Colleen of Color Me Rad Photography (seen below as we wield our overcompensating-ly large lenses). Lucky for me, she books the big gigs at the prettiest venues in town, and I get to reap the benefits of said beautiful subject matter. If you scroll to the bottom video you can [...]
MT. HOOD WINTER WEDDING
On this particular morning, instead of a dress and heals, I threw snow gear, long underwear, and waterproof boots into my parents’ 4Runner for a trek up the mountain to shoot Amy and Ben’s wedding. From Milwaukie, Oregon (300′) to Timberline Lodge (6000′) to Silcox Hut (6950′) we were just under a mile short of [...]
Wedding @ The New Children’s Museum
Here are a few shots from another wedding shot with the fabulous Colleen of Color Me RadĀ at the New Children’s Museum in San Diego. You know you’ve landed a good second shooter job when you can make it through an entire wedding without passing out . . . while battling that awful first day of [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day to all . . . maybe so happy you land yourself with one of these in nine months! I’ve been looking through the archives and finding all these squishy littleĀ cheeks were hiding where no one could find them, so what better day than the Day o’ Love to highlight some of my [...]
First Wedding-ing of 2012
A few from my first wedding of 2012 with the fantastic Colleen of Color Me Rad, seen doing her signature move in image #1.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography – UC San Diego
These were a few side shots I took while doing a corporate shoot at UCSD last week (see: January and kids in swim shorts). One day, if I ever have to leave San Diego, I will probably weep.
DAVE + ANNA
One of the most awesome moments of this engagement session (aside from when I made Dave and Anna unknowingly act like the Brady Bunch) happened toward the end when the sun was just about to tuck itself in for the night. I was trying to get a cool backlit shot under the Dr. Seuss-like trees [...]
