Shoot Shop

I was down in Oceanside, Ca on 10th and 11th for a photography workshop. It was put on by the Image Is Found, which is run by Nate and Jaclyn Kaiser. They are super talented wedding and portrait photographers. I learned so much in such a short amount of time and I’m already starting to apply things that I learned to my own biz. I also feel pumped and ready to shoot. I can’t wait for my two weddings that I have in January. If you’re a portrait or wedding photographer I would go to one of their Shoot Shops in a heart beat. Here are a couple of images of Nate at work that I took with my 24mm tilt/shift lens and a link to the shots he got.

First Day Of The Season

So today was my first day of the ski season. It only snowed a couple of inches at my place, but up on the hill it snowed about a foot. So I went up to Sierra at Tahoe and skied for 2 hours. My legs were like jell-o by then and it was time to go back home to do some work. It was super fun and I got to ride some powder which is always good on your first day. Here are a couple photos that I took with my I-Phone.

Alia

On the same day that I photographed baby Jake I also got to photograph my cousin's new born baby girl Alia, which was also 3 1/2 weeks old. This was my first time seeing Alia and she is just as beautiful in person as she is in all the photos that I have seen on my Aunt's blog. I love taking photos when babies are this young because they grow so quick from week to week at this stage of their life. It's always nice to have good photos of your kids taken when they're this young. Click here for the slideshow.

Jake

Hi there, I've been M.I.A and now I'm back. I was down in So Cal for a wedding workshop and I'll be blogging about that later. But when I was down there I was able to photograph baby Jake. In the photos he was only 3 1/2 weeks old. I always forget how small babies are at the age, as they say they're just a bundle of joy. Which was no exception with Jake. Click here for the slideshow.

Avery & Campbell

I spent Thanksgiving down at my cousin’s house in Orinda, Ca and had dinner over at their friend’s house, which was spectacular. I got to spend a couple of days down there relaxing and taking photos of their two girls Avery and Campbell. Yes, they are sisters and from the same parents, you’ll understand once you see the photos. I love to photograph kids just being themselves; it makes for some great photos and brings the true nature of their personality out. We had a couple meltdowns during the X-mas card shoot but with the help of Mom we pulled it off. I never knew that threatening kids with calling up Santa Claus to tell him that they’ve been bad could turn them into angels so quick. I have to remember that one and put the big man on my speed dial list. I also got to photograph the girls getting their haircut at a kid salon. Click here to see the slideshow.
