NEW BLOG UP & RUNNING- DECEMBER 10, 2007



I have been wanting to add a comments option to the blog and the easiest way was to update my blogger account. The link to the new blog is here. Feel free to comment on the latest post. I am curious to hear what you all think. Please update your links as I will be posting on the blogger account from now on.

More photos of Ally will be posted tomorrow on the new blog.


ALLY- DECEMBER 9, 2007



In order to make up for my lack of posting last week, I will be posting images this week from today's photo shoot with Ally. She had contacted Rob a few weeks ago in regards to a photo session. I mentioned last month that Rob and I were working together more with our photography. Working with him pushes me even harder than I normally push myself. Rob is one of them dudes that is just naturally good at whatever he decides to pursue. About the only thing I can beat him at is Madden on XBOX 360 (it probably helps that he usually chooses Detroit but hey, he's making that decision for himself). Anyway, not only does this make me push myself, it also gives us some time to hang out.

So Rob calls me the other day and says that the photo session is still on with Ally in spite of the weekend's rainy forecast. The weather was perfect today for some location shots. Working with Ally was a complete pleasure. I wish everyone I met was as nice as her and her dude, Joe. They were great to hang out with for the 4 hour session and Ally just worked the camera! It's a different ball game when you are working with someone who has experience modeling. She would tweak her pose in between shots which gave very subtle differences to ensure just the right look, which meant very little instruction from me on the posing. This allowed me to concentrate on the composition and get the shots I was looking for.

This image was taken in La Jolla and is one of many that will be posted this week as I work on the post-processing. I hope you enjoy.

Ally was great to work with and I hope to arrange some more photo sessions with her in the near future.


JAYDEN'S 1st HOLIDAY SEASON- DECEMBER 9, 2007



Sorry for the delay with last week's posts. I have been busy as ever. This is the first time I have been on the computer all week. I'm gonna start this week off with a photo of Jayden dressed up all pretty. We had "Breakfast with Santa" last weekend and the kids were dressed up. Of course I had to get some pix of my baby girl and here she is...

Isn't she a doll? She's getting ready to crawl so I should have some new pix sometime soon of that. In the meantime, I will be posting some photos from a photo shoot today with Rob...more to follow soon!


MASON'S 1st BIRTHDAY- DECEMBER 2, 2007



I can't believe how fast time is going by. Christmas is just around the corner. We went to Vegas a while back to see some friends we haven't seen in a long time and also to celebrate their son's 1st birthday. It was a wonderful weekend and it was a chance to photograph the party so the parents could enjoy the event. Craig and Christie were so kind to let us stay in their sweet pad for the extended weekend. Craig and Christie went all out for this party. The Harley theme set the mood for a good time for everyone invited.

Mason had a blast digging into his cake. I'm just wondering how much cake he took in for this look (I think I looked like this after Thanksgiving).

Here's Mason's cool little VANS. It's all about the details during these times. They grow up so fast.

Thanks again for a wonderful weekend. It was great seeing you all and we are looking forward to another trip.

For those keeping track, I set a record in November with the amount of posts! I hope you all are enjoying the photos and the write-ups as much as I enjoy posting them. 2008 is just around the corner and I can't wait to update the new offerings for clients!
