Emma Shines!

Last week I was blessed to work twice with the beautiful Emma Roberts. I can't believe have fantastic the sessions turned out. Thanks again to my assistant Kristine who did the make up for the beach session.

Hot Night, Hot Photos

So here they are, photos of the lovely Erin. One of my night sessions around the South Bay. I really wanted to create something urban and sexy with Erin to emphasize her look. I am very happy with how these shots turned out. Kristine did an amazing job with the editing. I plan to do some more night sessions so keep your eyes open for them in the coming weeks.

If I can do it, you can do it.

It's about time I had some new photos taken! My assistant Kristine and I took an afternoon last week to snap a few new photos of myself. I think it's been about a year since she last shot any. I really think she did a fantastic job and really appreciate her efforts. I have never liked any photos of myself except the ones she has taken. Maybe that's why I keep her around! LOL

If I can have my picture taken, so can you!!!

From My Garden

Today I wanted to spend some time photographing things in my garden. I pass these things everyay, always wanting to snap a few photos. Finally I grabbed my camera, popped on a macro filter and away I went.

It's a Dogs Life

Today I really laid down with the dogs haha! It was just a good time at the end of the day, on the spur of the moment.

Old Fort MacArthur Days and Artillery Show

A few weeks ago I was asked by a good friend of mine (who does Renaissance fairs regularly) to hang for the day at the Old Fort MacArthur Days and Artillery Show. There were battle re-enactments, exhibits of military memorabilia, and demonstrations. It seriously rocked. The event is Southern California’s longest running military history events and was sponsored by the Fort MacArthur Museum Association and Associated Foundations Inc.

I LOVE classic cars. Really, what guy doesn't? So when I was asked to photograph the 2008 Teen Challenge Car Show, I didn't pass up the chance. I enjoyed every minute of it, back breaking as it was. Anyway, here are a few of my favorites.
