Laura

Laura was in need of some headshots to get her acting career going so she contacted me. This was my first shoot working with a make-up artist. Emily Gray (see her a few blogs down) did a great job bringing out Laura's beautiful green eyes. We shot in Anaheim at a park and the surounding areas. Laura was a great sport, even changing in her car since there was nowhere else to change.












Thanks Laura! We had a great time!

The Totally Random Post

Ok, so I have some fun events I would like to share. Actually, I don't know if they are really fun but they are interesting. Actually maybe they aren't even interesting but I'm sharing them anyway. This is what blogs are for, right? Sharing a bunch of info that nobody really cares about? Anyway, first I have some pictures of a duck. So exciting, huh? This duck decided to go for a swim in my parents pool so I took a few shots before it flew away.





The other day Emily, Heather and I auditioned for a show called Hole in the Wall. I don't know if they picked us but I did get to try a "dumpster with graffiti shot". Emily isn't quite in dumpster attire but it was a good practice shoot. =)



And to end this very random, weird blog is a life lesson for all. Did you know you have to change your air filter for the AC? Well, I didn't and HAVEN'T in almost 3 years! So you want to know what an air filter looks like after 3 years of sucking dirty air? Here ya go:

YUCK!

More Jenni!

I just finished editing Jenni's favorites so I thought I'd post a few. Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the editing. Thanks!

Jenni

Yesterday I was sitting at home, not doing much and my phone rings. Jenni called and says something like, "ok, lets do my photo shoot now, I look cute." And she did... love the shoes! We had about an hour of sunlight left so we ran around my neighborhood and got some pretty cool shots. One of my favs is with the construction sign. It's different. =)

Mike and Heather- Congrats on your engagement! (6-13-08)

Heather, Mike and I all graduated from Chapman University so we decided to head over there for a photo shoot. In one of the earlier blogs I had mentioned that I ruined pretty much all 400 photos from a shoot in April. They decided they wanted a "do over" so that's what we did. Chapman wasn't too exciting to shoot at but the barber shop across the street was pretty cool!








Wow, look at their blue eyes!

Aaron and Emily

My friend Emily and her husband Aaron stopped by my house on Saturday. They are moving into the Irvine area which is very exciting since it's so close to my house. Right now, they live about 60 miles from me which makes it hard to hang out. In celebration of their decision to move I decided to do a mini photo shoot with them. =) These are some of the results.

Such a good looking couple!

So pretty!

Sally and Roxy

I've taken hundreds of pictures of my dogs since I started working on my photography. Whenever I'm trying something new with my camera, working with different light or a new lens I use my dogs since they're here. Sally is actually getting pretty good at posing. Today I put her on the front doormat and I told her to stay. She actually did it! Even more impressive were her posing skills. She would look up, then to the left, then at me.... it's like she really knew what she was doing. Ok, ok I know she's just a dog, but I think she's pretty smart! Oh, and Roxy... well, she's Roxy. I did get one good picture of her but she's still working on her posing skills. Sally smiling

Mom's Bday

My mom's 62nd birthday was on Sunday so I bought myself a new lens! With my new lens, as a part of my mom's gift, I took more photos of her. She used to always complain that there weren't very many pictures of her since she was always taking them. Now, she is acutally getting tired of being in front of the camera. Anyway, here are a few moments from her exciting day.

Brutus and Lucy

Brutus and Lucy hung out with me Mother's Day weekend so we decided to do a photo shoot. They were very cooperative and loved having their pictures taken. Here are some of the results:

These were taken before I knew how to use photoshop so this is pretty much how they came out of the camera. I think I added a little bit of color saturation through Picassa.
