- Jim and Jhomara – wedding photos from Carlsbad
Thought I’d kick off the Independence day weekend with a little photo post from my last session. No better way to do it than with two U.S. Marines, looking to get some wedding photos they never had. Jim and Jhomara didn’t hire a photographer back when they got hitched, so I had the pleasure of [...]
- Gellin’ like magellan – color gels with small flash.
Chris and I managed to pull off another beach shoot without losing anything – almost. A roll of gaffer’s tape going MIA is not as bad as what the angry seas have swallowed up in our past endeavors. So, to appease the ocean Gods, I decided to post a setup shot, perhaps give you shooters [...]

What’s goin on? Feels like a while since I posted. It feels good to say its “because I have been busy shooting”. Got some portrait sessions in this week as well as model Kelli Lessie (above), who did some head shots and helped me produce some stock. It was nice to get into the Carlsbad [...]

Just a sharing, open, positive thinker with a passion for making the most of every day. She introduced me to fine art photography. I realized today [...]
- Using a Diffuser Panel for Beach Portraits
Thanks for your visit! Just doing a quick photo setup post today. Lately I have been very persistent in trying to secure an assistant or second photographer for each and every gig. Having someone to be on the spot with equipment, hold reflectors and help “wrangle” your clients and entertain children is invaluable. That is [...]
