Family/Preggie Shoot- Field of flowers!

Awesome time shooting Kristen and her amazing family with my wife, Kristi Klemens (KLK Photography). For about a month each year we are blessed with a field near us in San Juan Capistrano that blooms what feels like a million yellow flowers. We love taking advantage of the flowers every year for pictures. Here are some of my favorites-

Amber Family Shoot!

When I was in Michigan, Amber asked me to take family pictures for her. I love shooting in MI because of the colors. Her baby was awesome and they even brought their dogs to the end of the shoot. Here are my favorites!

Laguna Beach Engagement!

Gabriel works for Beco Baby Carrier. Kristi and I shoot all of their products for marketing for them. When Gabriel and I were talking during our last Beco shoot, he wanted to have some professional pictures taken of him and his girlfriend. I met them in San Juan Capistrano to start the shoot, then we went to Laguna Beach to get some nice beach shots. Gabriel & Dionne were great, such a fun couple. Here are a few of my favorites from the day!

Laguna Beach Engagement!

I was referred to Giovanna by her sister, Maryela, a model that I have worked with in the past. Giovanna & Anthony were great to work with. They were great in front of the camera and it showed how much they love each other. We started in San Juan Capistrano and then went to Laguna Beach to enjoy and photograph the sunset. Here are my favs from the day!

Jaclyn's Headshots!

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

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.

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!

My Loves!

Kristi & Max!
