THE PRE-3-0

I must say, it feels great to finally catch up on blogging some wonderful sessions that all started back when I visited the East Coast, in early April. With everything caught up, I can finally blog some “me time”, since it seems like an eternity, since I’ve talked about my personal life. I can’t believe that in just 1 more day, I’m entering a new plateau in my life, “The Big 3-0!”. I’ll be spending my last few hours in my 20’s with Helen, reflecting on my life, dreaming and planning the next steps to this wonderful thing that we call our lives.

 

I must say, that when turning 20, it didn’t have the same effect as turing 30. Maybe because as life tells it’s story, it’s supposed to be a time where we grown up and be adults. Yeah right! Not me! I’ve always been young at heart and I don’t think that will ever change. I still dig video games, comic books, wearing “Chucks” when I can, staying up late! and eating the occasional rocket popsicle (that’s the red, white and blue ones). With that being said, I’ll have more on my birthday tomorrow.  Let the count down begin!

 

Helen took some photos of me on my last day of being in my 20’s, thanks babe!

GEOFF & RENA : WEDDING AT THE STAGECOACH INN MUSEUM

Last weekend, I joined Araxi for a wedding at one of the most interesting and beautiful locations I’ve shot at in awhile. Geoff & Rena were married at The Stagecoach Inn Museum in Ventura. There were so many great textures and outdoor sceneries there, that you really couldn’t go wrong. The only thing we did hear about this place, was that it was haunted. Maybe that’s just something they tell all the visitors to get us scared. Geoff & Rena had a small intimate wedding with just 80 or so of their closest friends and family and the weather that day couldn’t have been any more perfect. Here are some of my favorites from their day and be sure to checkout Araxi’s blog for more photos!

A DAY WITH THE GARDNER’S

Last week, I finally was able to see my good friends Steve and Kay and their baby Raffaella. Kay and I go waaaay back. When I say waaaay back, I mean elementary school. I can’t recall what grade, maybe it was 1st grade? Anyhow, it’s always a joy to see them. Raffaella is getting bigger everytime I see her. On this particular day, it was a scorcher outside to say the least. The last time we photographed Kay’s maternity session, it was 100+ degrees outside and of course, we were blessed again with insanely hot weather! Little Raffaella must be used to this by now. Here are just a few photos from my day with the Gardner’s.

 

Little Raffaella only cared about touching stuff.

After being fed and taking a nap, Raffaella was ready to go!




ROBERT & DENISE : WEDDING AT THE HOTEL LAGUNA

Last weekend, I joined Aaron Dieppa for a wedding at The Hotel Laguna down in Laguna Beach. I can’t say that there’s anything more perfect, than having a wedding down by the beach. Robert & Denise had just their closest friends and family at their wedding and watched them dance their first dance, as the sunset. Robert & Denise, congratulations to you both again and be sure to checkout Aaron’s site for more photos!

LEATHER CRAFTSMEN : JAPANESE BOOK CLOTH ALBUM

There’s nothing I enjoy more than the smell of fresh new albums in the morning! I always feel like a kid on Christmas when the Leather Craftsmen delivery man shows up at my door. I couldn’t be more happy with this new album for Matt & Sarah that LC delivered to me. They always do awesome work and that’s why they are my album company of choice!

 

Matt & Sarah needed a guest signing album for their wedding coming up in May and they wanted something different, other than the traditional leather albums. So I suggested LC’s Japanese Book Cloth and Leather. It so happens that Matt & Sarah are using Sage Green in their wedding, so they wanted that color for their album as well. I also want to add that it’s a great idea to have a high quality album for your guests to sign, so that it will last for years to come.
 
Checkout the “bk” studio logo discreetly placed inside the album.
