Santa Maria Kids!

So one of my oldest friends, Pete, and his wife Jennifer just added a little girl to their growing family. Her name is Payten and she is just adorable. Pete and I went for a surf in the morning and then headed over to his house for the shoot. Their 2-year old son, Carter, is such a ham and had a great time mugging for the camera.

Sara and Phil engagement shoot

Had a great time shooting Sara and Phil's engagement photos this past Saturday. We had some great afternoon/evening light at the USD campus (their ceremony is at the Immaculata). Hadn't been there since I was in school there and man, has it grown. New buildings everywhere. Joan Kroc and Jenny Craig had a few extra mil laying around and decided to give it to USD.

Hey Joan and Jenny! Throw me a bone why dontcha?!

The many faces of Emme...

Shot these the other morning while she attempted to eat yogurt on her own for the first time. Just had to post...

Wedding of Lyn and Robert

Interesting story of how I booked this wedding...

My wife and I were looking to have the windows and sliding glass doors in our new home upgraded from the old, aluminum single-pane windows to the new vinyl, double-paned windows. We contacted a few companies, got some bids, and one of the companies who bid was represented by Robert.

We got to talking and during the course of conversation, I told him I was a wedding photographer. Low and behold, Robert and Lyn were getting married soon. It was going to be a very small, intimate affair with close friends and family. To make a long story short, Robert and I were able to "work a deal" (wink wink) so we got some kick-ass windows and he and Lyn got some kick-ass wedding images.

Here are some of my faves.

I can eat yogurt by myself

Well, sort of...

Wedding of Emily and Chris

Emily and Chris were married at Mt. Woodson Resort on a hot and sticky Labor Day. Emily and Chris were really great to work with, they didn't even act surprised when I grabbed two golf carts and headed out for a fun portrait session on the golf course. Special thanks to videographer Noah Taffollo for being a great guy to work with.

Please be patient while the image load. I had a lot of faves ;)
