Another Day at the Beach

The weather in Southern California has continued to be awesome! We could not have asked for more perfect beach weather than last Friday as Amy Lynn and Chris has some engagement images taken. Unfortunately they were late arriving due to L.A.'s famous traffic. We had to work quick, but still captured fun images, beautiful portraits and of course - some edgy shots.

I am off to Canada this week to visit my family and take a course in Niagara Falls. I will definitely post some images from my trip next week.

A Day at the Beach

The weather this last weekend was awesome here in Southern California. Perfect beach weather. Luckily I had the opportunity to take engagement photographs of Sharon and Nolan. Sharon had not been to the beach this year so she was ready to have some fun. Even the cold water temperature did not deter Sharon and Nolan from getting wet.

I always enjoy the beach. My favorite is El Matador on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Lucky me - I get to visit the beach again this week for another engagement shoot.

Gone Fishing!

My oldest son is an avid fisherman. One of these days I will get off the computer and go with him. I have a new fishing rod I purchased in August and still do not have the reel on it. My son took a few hours off his job today and just dropped by to show me his dinner.

Teresa and Andy

We spent last week with Teresa and Andy at their wedding in Thousand Oaks. We then headed to Westlake Village for the reception. After having the Weatherman threatening us with rain all week - the day turned out to be a beautiful Autumn day.

Go Blue

The only difficult thing about shooting weddings in the Fall - is college football. College football games are usually played on Saturdays, when most weddings take place. We breath maize and blue in our family. Michigan rules in our house while the rest of the neighborhood worships USC and UCLA. I am shooting a wedding in November and the Bride's family are all Michigan fans! (Maybe we can get some shots of the bride watching the game)?

My Michigan team is undefeated this year and tomorrow they meet Michigan State. All I can say is "GO BLUE".

Dark Side Tonight

Tonight my three sons and I are going to the Hollywood Bowl to catch Rogers Water (from Pink Floyd fame) perform Dark Side of the Moon in it's entirety. In my household - Pink Floyd is one of the few musical groups than spans many generations of musical tastes. We all love Pink Floyd - even our dog - Ozzy (named after Ozzy Osbourne).







Speaking of dark, I am still working on images from last weekend's wedding shoot. This image of Joanne standing by a window called out for some dark rich Rembrandt treatment.

Joanne and Jerry

Our wedding on Saturday was at the beautiful Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. We had a blast with Joanne and Jerry. They and their friends and family were a lot of fun to photograph. Joanne actual got on a merry-go-round to have some images taken. Here are a few from Saturday.
