Santa Clarita Family Photographer - Jeff + Leah Slideshow

I photographed Jeff, Leah, Charlotte, Ben & Abbie almost a year ago to the day.  What a difference a year makes! Impossibly, the kids are even more adorable than they were the last time I photographed them.  And they certainly are a lot more mobile!  Our second family portrait session was such a blast.  It was an amazing morning.  Enjoy the slideshow  :)

Musician Photography - Megan Petree

Was introduced to the beautiful guitar playing and singing of Megan Petree on Saturday evening at a gallery opening in Oxnard. Megan - a talented Los Angeles singer/artist - is currently studying art at Ventura College.  So not only was Megan performing live, she also had a beautiful ceramic sculpture in the show!  I'm a fan, Megan... thank you for making the evening even more amazing!

Santa Clarita Photographer - Best Friends

Spent a couple hours this morning photographing a "Best Friends" session in Santa Clarita.  It was a perfect November morning, cloudy at times and sunny at others.  Perfect goofing around weather!

Two ten year olds.  Two peas in a pod.  BFFs.  Buds.  Pals.  Life is just way more fun with a best friend!  :)

LACMA Photography and Portraits

Rachel, Angie and I spent yesterday afternoon finding fun and inspiration at LACMA, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.  I know I'll always end up with some fun, dynamic lifestyle photography portraits.  Angie belongs to LACMA's NexGen program, which allows her plus one adult free entry into the museum until she turns 18.  Amazing program, we love it!

Kat & Will's Wedding Slideshow

Here's the slideshow from Kat and Will's Oct 15, 2011 wedding in Santa Barbara.  Such an amazing day, and this slideshow brings me right back to it.  The ceremony was held at the beautiful Trinity Episcopal Church and the reception took place at the stunning Santa Barbara Yacht Club.

My original blog post of Kat and Will's wedding with photos can be found here -

Santa Barbara Wedding - Kat & Will

It was a breathtaking drive up the coast on Highway 1 to Santa Barbara.  I had never seen a more perfect Southern California day for a wedding.  The oppressive heat of just a day earlier had vanished, leaving us with a perfect fall day.  When Rachel (my awesome second shooter and, ahem, beautiful wife) and I arrived at Kat's house she and her bridesmaids were in full 'getting ready' mode.  You can tell a lot about how the day is going to go by how the 'getting ready' is going.  In this case it was simply a fun gathering of close friends and family... I knew the rest of the day would follow suit.

Kat and Will's ceremony took place in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, at the Trinity Episcopal Church on historic State Street.  The church is amazing, like one you'd expect to find in the English countryside, except with palm trees and impossibly blue skies adding a Southern California flair!

The reception was held at the beautiful Santa Barbara Yacht Club, a stunning venue with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Santa Barbara Harbor on the other.  My Canon wasn't the only canon being shot  there... the club had a deafening artillery canon they fired repeatedly over the Pacific in honor of Will and Kat's wedding.  And if that wasn't enough to set this wedding apart from all others, a Harbor Patrol boat cruised right up to the beach and gave a water nozzle salute to Kat and Will.  Awesome!

A slideshow set to music of Kat & Will's wedding can be found HERE.

Thanks, Kat and Will, for letting us be a part of your amazing day!
