Shoot with Beckstead

PUSHING MY LIMITS! I don't know when I have enjoyed something more, or learned SO much than in this workshop. I just spent two days in Santa Barbara California in a workshop with David Beckstead. I feel like my head is reeling from the info and I am looking at images with a whole new perspective. I have a new insight on my constantly developing style and some great new friends!

It's nice to sometimes stay close to home to shoot a wedding...no long drives, hotels or airplanes to catch! This one was right around the corner. Corri and Chris were married last weekend and what a wonderful family and group of friends they have! We had a blast! I think we are going to start calling Paula the "Barefoot Photographer" because she is so much more comfortable shooting with her shoes off that she kicks them off just before the wedding! What a hoot!

Corri's dress was a mermaid cut, beautiful gown and she wore those beautiful LONG gloves that I love! I have never been so moved by a Father/Daughter dance before. It was a great day. Congrats to Corri, Chris and their families. A few pics and I will add a couple more later...but off to breakfast for now!

Fullerton

Apple Valley California

Jessica and David were married on the 6th of September at Our Lady of the Desert church. It was such a beautiful ceremony and they had the time of their lives! Dancing was the call of the evening and these two made it look like SO much fun. Great couple and Congrats David and Jessica!

Banca and Andrew

Blanca and Andrew chose Lake Arrowhead Village to shoot some engagement photos. They will be married next March and we are looking forward to the wedding. The ducks seemed to enjoy the company and Andrew tried to throw Blanca into the lake....bad idea!! Heehee.

Richelle Dante

What a fun day we had in Fullerton! Richelle Dante (http://www.richelledantephotography.com/) is a fellow photographer and wanted some photos for her website. So off we went (had to do luch too, heehee) and we shot some photos of her. These are a couple of my favs. Hi Richelle!!!

Demi

Demi is going to enter the difficult world of acting and modeling so we took a few photos the other day. These are some of my favs!

Partner Con

Paula and I have spent the last two days at the Pictage Conference. Sometimes someone touches your life and you are certain you will never be the same. That happened to me at this conference in sessions with photographers Mike Colon and Dane Sanders. I think that I will look at my business, my relationships, and my life differently than I did before the conference thanks to these dedicated, talented and faithful men. Sometimes God sends someone into our lives to stabilize our goals and to energize our vision. These men are an inspiration to my work, my life, and my faith. Thanks Dane and Mike for being who you are :)
