Jaclyn's Headshots!

Jaclyn is an actress and model in LA. Here are some of my favorite headshots I took for her.

Red Rock Canyon & Calico

Love taking day trips to shoot. We went to Red Rock and Calico, such a great place to relax and take pictures.

Bridal Fashion Shoot!

Erica needed some additions to her portfolio, so we added some bridal fashion for her. My wife totally rocks and helped with the accessories... Kristi Klemens (the soil and sea) gets all the credit for making Erica look amazing. Here are a couple of favorites from today!

Shannon Rocks!

Shannon is a personal trainer in LA and she needed some headshot / fitness pictures of herself for marketing, etc... She is awesome to work with and the camera definitely likes her! Here are some of my favorites from her shoot-

When we ended at the beach, there was a beautiful sunset and I had always wanted to take a picture like this one. A great ending to a great shoot!

Celeste Fitness Shoot Teasers!

Here are some teasers from a fitness shoot for Celeste.

Newport Beach Sunset!

One thing I love about being a photographer is that my wife and I both enjoy it. Even when we are not working we can still go shoot together and create some amazing images. My wife also makes a great model to shoot when I need! We went to the Balboa Peninsula on a weeknight this week and had an amazing sky at sunset.

San Juan Capistrano Engagement!

April Smith (April Smith & Co. Photography) invited me to show her around a couple of places that I love to shoot on one of her engagements near where we live. We started at Mission San Juan Capistrano and then headed to Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach. Both places are awesome to photograph and she had an amazing couple for us to work with. Here are some of my favorite pics from the day.

The last shot I wanted to take was a long exposure with the waves rolling up while our couple stood there very still. I love the way it makes the water just melt together. I did have to use a neatral density filter to be able to lower my shutter speed enough to make the effect work. My settings were ISO 200, F22, shutter speed 0.5 seconds.

Thank you April for taking me with you on the awesome engagement shoot!

Naples, Florida

After the search in Miami for our wedding location we had the chance to travel to Ft. Myers to visit Kristi's mom for a couple of days. While we were there we went to Naples to see the awesome beaches and sunset. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

This would make a great postcard... The dolphin and sailboat were great additions to the picture!

I love the blue sky and the color of the water in the Gulf of Mexico!

Can't wait to visit again!

Our Wedding Location Search Continues!

We travelled to Miami to check out locations where we want to get married. We love Vizcaya in Miami. The architecture, gardens, statues, etc... Here are some pictures we took on our search!

And while we were there I had to take advantage of the opportunity to get a skyline shot of Miami. I woke up at 4am to make it to my photo spot to get the best light at sunrise.
