one last shoot for the year 2009, and it ended up being a good way to close out the year. alexis’ father and i used to work together way back in the early 90′s at tower records in el toro. we have stayed in touch over the years and the salon he owns (salon platinum)...

twas the tween times post…
so, there is that time between thanksgiving and christmas day that can always get so hectic. the mad dash for the perfect tree, last-minute shopping, putting the lights up, and so on. in this time, i wanted to update my blog to give y’all something to gander at while you maybe sip on some egg...
holidays up north: vacation, wheaton style
i figured i would kind of give you all a break from family shots at the beach for a moment here. and in the spirit of giving thanks, family and the turning of the seasons… i offer you a glimpse (not that you asked…) into our little family vacation these past few days. we hopped...
mini-session day two: family love amore’
after the success of our first family session day (as well as picking up some people who were out with flu or activities), gillian and i were sure we needed to organize a second day. first of all, you remember gillian from the last post, right? she runs <a href=http://www.thewriteinvite.net/>the write invite</a> in ladera ranch,...
m & k: a lovelight through the fog
as i drove westward to the beach for this shoot, somewhere in laguna canyon, i entered this thick blanket of fog. a misty fog. behind me were blue skies and sunshine. i heard it was cold at the beach, but did not expect such a fog monster to gobble me up. i text my wife...

living is like this: sneak peek for the wheatons
this is sort of a peek for my brother and his family. i shot them a couple of weeks ago now and my sister-in-law is about to give birth, maybe any day/hour/minute now. i think if i had ever needed a push to my desire to be a father, that door was completely busted wide...
rachael & tim: a love that spans both coasts
i have known tim for quite a few years now, so when he and rachael inquired about hiring me to shoot one of, if not the most important day of their lives, i have to admit i got a little nervous. i mean, let’s get down to brass tacks for a second, shall we? i...
family at the arboretum
i had been to this location once before, meeting a hefty handful of photographers there a few years back. it struck me as a fairly diverse location, since there were so many different areas within it. i was excited to meet this family of four and to traipse around the arboretum with them. there were...
the busy time of the season…
with wedding season sort of slowing down at this time of year, family sessions start to really boom as people prepare for the holidays. christmas cards. family photos for grandpa and grandma. kids getting together for photos to give their parents as a christmas gift. all that good stuff. so i have been very busy...
