Love Bakersfield Style

If you love Bakersfield, it doesn't get any better than this. A ranch with horses and goats, wagon wheels, high weeds, rusted metal--ah I love the smell of rusted metal in the morning. Ha ha. Honestly, I could shoot this kind of location anytime or at least until the cows come home. Anthony and Ashleigh are one of those couples that every photographer falls in love with. Absolutely adorable and so in love--very easy to photograph. We had a lot of fun last weekend tromping through these dusty trails letting creativity be in charge. You can check out the entire shoot on my website, but here's a couple of my favorites. Thanks guys! Loved it!

How cute are these guys???

Sometimes a photographer, such as me, gets this amazing, adorable couple who love each other so much and have so much fun together and are so cute just hanging out ...it just makes that photographer smile from ear to ear. That is how I feel about Nick and Megan, with her infectious smile with perfect teeth and his rosy cheeks and sparkly eyes--you just can't go wrong! I know it's going to be an amazing wedding that I'm so looking forward to! Thanks guys for a fun day at Hart Park, can't wait til the wedding.

Painting the town with Jeff and Tammy

Yep, we painted it up and down. Here's a couple shots, the rest will be up next weekend. We started in Seal Beach and ended with a crowd stopping performance at the Huntington Beach pier and had so much fun along the way. Jeff and Tammy's wedding is in 4 weeks and they are the kind of a couple that every photographer loves to shoot--fun seeking and willing to try anything! Thanks Jeff and Tammy for a great day of being creative. Can't wait for your wedding.

I can't wait until your wedding!

Here's a slideshow with some of the fun places we found during my adventure with Nick and Loren.

Rules of Engagement ...

Gone are the days when engagement pictures have to look just so. Beautiful lush backgrounds and smiling, happy couples are still gorgeous, but having the opportunity to photograph a couple who just want to play--that's priceless. Photoshoots like Nick and Loren remind me of how blessed I am to do what I do. It was such a freeing feeling to to be able to try just about anything, like we did last night. Personality of the couple definitely comes into play. They have to work well together and allow each other the freedom to be themselves and what you get as the end product is amazing. Here's a couple of the fun pics, however there will be a good 100 of them next weekend. Make sure to check back in with my website to see the rest. Thanks Nick and Loren~ we had so much fun!

We're going back to the beach again!

My next scheduled dates that I'll be back at the coast again are on July 11-13th. Give me a call to set up a time to photograph your family. These spots do fill up, so call me to reserve a time.

Los Osos is beautiful!

Photographer sets record for longest hike to shoot location!

I think we officially logged about 3 miles up and back, but it was well worth it! Just when you think you're so tired, there was a tremendously steep hill to slide down. Of course, I'm the one who found the loose spot and slid down a little faster than I intended. Anything for the shot!
