Kyle, Chelle & Jeremiah

Shot my annual family photos of Kyle and Chelle and their son Jeremiah. Remember M&M's when photographing anyone under the age of 2 (or any other potentially cranky subjects). Actually, Jeremiah was a perfect subject and was rewarded with playtime at the park. Thanks for making it such a successful shoot, M, K & J. :)

Kristen & Kyle 11/1/08

Just a last minute update for a very fun couple who are getting married November 1st. Almost there. :)

Holiday Table

This is what your holiday table could look like if you bought one of the homes in Newport Coasts Tides Model Homes. I did a shoot for Coast magazine featuring The Tides which overlook Crystal Cove beach. Amazing homes, you think you were transported to Tuscany. All the crystal came from South Coast Plaza and check back for all the cool people that helped with the shoot. The holidays are coming. Enjoy the weekend!

I was hired to shoot some portraits at local charitable food banks and kitchens. Giving is way down and the need is way up. Hopefully, with exposure will come awareness which will lead to increased giving. I tried a couple of new techniques to make dramatic and eye-catching portraits. I'm happy with my results so far. The first photo is of the director of the Second Harvest Food Bank. The second image is of one of the area managers. Thanks for looking and enjoy!

BlueBoy

Trying out another new technique that I'll be shooting on a freelance gig for Coast Magazine on charitable giving. Thanks to Sean for being my model, plus he uses the good ones for his Facebook.
The technique turns the background from a gray lifeless sky into a cool blue dramatic one. Then a simple snoot makes a mysterious portrait. I was hired to photograph some portraits for an upcoming story on some of the soup kitchens and food banks in the county. I'll post the website when it runs in November. Have a great rest of the weekend.
