ACTOR MARKUS LEE




Today I had the honor of taking Master Actor Markus Lee out on a short photoshoot with his dog and friend Styx.. It didn't take long to see why Styx is what we would call a man's best friend he never left Markus's side. I am looking forward to seeing Markus play Moses tonight at the I.C.C. Theater.  Keep them guessing Markus and Styx you are amazing !!!

Jamie, 
These past 2 weekends have been so much fun.. I can't believe what an amazing, young but powerful actress you are ( not to mention entertaining) I am still laughing over your part as tour guide barbie.

MISS KELSEY & MISS LAURA





Its not to often that I get a shoot as unique as this one, Our plan was to go to Balboa Island for the afternoon but between the weather and a an allergic reaction to perfume.. we were deviated to my favorite park in the world, The timing couldn't have been better , the girls looked amazing the location was perfect and the rain held off till right as we were pulling away from the park. Its a rare thing when I shoot two seniors in one session but to shoot two seniors who have been best friends since kindergarten ( NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A PHOTO SHOOT ) Girls from your outfits, to the jokes , to the laughing at my amazing assistant Brad... This shoot is one for the books for sure:) I can't wait to come to your graduation if its anything like the shoot it should be a blast !!! Ill see you two on Saturday for our second shoot !!

A TRIP TO SAMYS :)

Today was a rather gloomy day so after about 4 hours on facebook and editing I was thrilled when my phone rang and it was Ken from Samy's Camera telling me that my new studio lights had finally arrived ( dancing in circles singing laaa laaa taa deee ) Now you might ask why one would  be so happy over lights??? but its the simple things in life that make me happy and camera gear is one of those simple things ... ( SMILES) So if you ever need help at SAMYS CAMERA ask for KEN and he will help you out he is fantastic ... and one of the best sales men ever !! He really made my day today. I can't wait to head back there this weekend to pick out some early birthday presents. 

I LOVE SAMYS CAMERA !!!!

Perfect timing Janet

As many of you know I am not one to jump out from behind the camera for photos .. but at the workshop on saturday Janet caught me at the right moment and said "come here let me take your photo ". I have no idea why I agreed but after only allowing her like 10 shots and getting up * BLUSHING* I said " Ill be amazed if you get one ".  Well she not only got one she got three ... much to my pleasure she captured me in my truest form. THANK YOU JANET for taking a moment and letting me take up some room on your roll of film they complete the look of my blog don't you think ??

Janet is also and amazing graphic designer check out her work at

Rachel & Jared


What an amazing afternoon, I have known Rachel and Jared coming up on almost 2 years and I can't tell you how neat it has been to watch them and see their story unfold before my eyes. While taking their engagement photos down on Balboa Island in Newport Beach, I realized how blessed I am to be able to capture on film a small part of their love story.

Rachel and Jared, WE can't wait till November !!

Lucy


Sighs... This was one of those shoots that made me suddenly realize how old I am getting :) 
back about 5 years ago I was one of Lucy's Jr.High Youth leaders and Calvary Chapel of Mission Viejo ..Lucy was always hovering around my first born's carrier before and after bible study and even assisted me in the nursery a time or two when my little ones were out of control. Her kind and gentle spirit had kept lucy in my prayers for years after we left Calvary so imagine just how thrilled I was when she called and asked me to take her senior photos in Downtown San Juan. I can't even tell you lucy how pleased I am to see what a Godly young women you have turned into! I am looking forward to seeing where God takes you after college and in life and I hope to be in the shadows with a camera to capture it all :)  
Keep your eyes on Him !!
