Portraits! …updated.

March 25, 2008

So… the portrait trade session out in Pasadena is over. We didn’t have much of a turn out, unfortunately. I think that it was tough for most to make it out on a Moday @ 3pm with work, traffic, etc. We still had a good amount of fun though. Araxi stopped by for a little bit before anyone else showed up and said hello. I loved talking with her about how things are going with our lives and businesses… she is so nice! A little bit later Mark Christensen showed up followed by Conrad Lim. We got to talk quite a bit and joke around quite a bit more. Oh… and YES… we took some pictures too! =)

Below are some of the shots that I took while I was out there…

- This little guy was hanging out with me while I waited for people to arrive. He walked up to like 3 feet from me and starting chowing down on acorns…

-Here is shot of Mark Christensen (photographer)…

- A couple of Conrad… (I love the light in these)

-This one cracks me up. Mark got Conrad to attempt to climb this palm tree and I got this one as he jumped down. By the way… if you don’t see any more posts from me in the near future, it just means that Conrad off’d me in some dark alley for posting this.   =)   (Sorry man, haha)

Thanks again guys (and Araxi) for coming out. ‘Till next time…

Portraits!

March 24, 2008

Tonight I will be heading out to Pasadena to meet a few other wedding/portrait photographers for a portrait shoot. It’s mainly just an excuse to hang out, meet new people and, of course, shoot! We will be downtown in Pasadena at the Colorado St. Bridge at 3pm. So, if any of you other photographers wish to join us, bring your camera and come hang out and get/take some great portraits. We will be trading portraits, discussing business/technique and, well… just having fun.

Here is a link to a map that I created for the meeting spot downtown. Feel free to come out and join us!

Oh… and of course… expect pics to be posted following tonights little shindig. =)

Orange County Headshot & Modeling Photography - Christina Moeller

March 21, 2008

Wassup y’all. I wanted to share some images from a shoot I did last Friday in Laguna Beach. I met up in Laguna with a very talented makeup artist (who I’ve worked with before) by the name of Laura Harley. She brought her friend/model, Christina Marie, along to take some pictures down at the Surf & Sand Resort.

We arrived at 5pm and spent about an hour next to the pool at the Surf & Sand where Laura drew all over Christina’s face and made it pretty-like. =) After that we walked down to the sand and continued down the coast for about 5-6 minutes until we reached the rocks and cliffs. We setup and started shooting all over down on the sand, up on the rocks and in the water. I had an absolute blast working with Laura and Christina the evening. They are both extremely talented and I hope to work them more often. Good times.

I posted a few shots down below for you all to check out…

-Laura puttin’ on the “war-paint”-

I love this shot!

This is easily one of my favorite shots of the day… if not THE favorite.

I took this shot of Laura while waiting for the sun to hit horizon. Looks like a sunglasses ad. =)

So… thanks for checking out the shots. I’ll be sure to post something soon from the wedding that I assisted on that Saturday. Stay tuned for more!

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS)…

March 20, 2008

 

Hey everyone. I just had to post real quick and mention an organization that is doing some pretty amazing things. The Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) is a network of over 3000 VOLUNTEER photographers from all over the globe. These photographers donate their time and talent to families who have a child with a short life expectancy and document this precious time, creating memories that will last forever.

I am proud to say that, as of today, I am an affiliated photographer for this organization. I look forward to providing families a way in which they may honor and cherish their child long after they grace us with their presence.

Please follow the link below to watch the Today Show’s coverage of this amazing organization…
