We are upgrading our blog and getting some new abilities with it. We will be able to display larger images as well as some other fun and creative offerings! For now I have added a bio picture with Dani and I as I am unsure of any other photo at the moment that would represent all of us but no doubt they will be coming. Thanks for being fans of our work. Keep checking back for the current happenings and please comment and let us know your thoughts on the individual blog posts. Oh and thanks to Jeff at Anderson Image for the great shot of Dani and I on our 5th anniversary.

Patrick and Fay are one of those couples with a great story. They have known each other since grade school. So when they said they wanted to have their engagement photos taken at their old elementary school I was game. It’s always cool to shoot a new place especially when it is special to the Bride and Groom. We got some really cool stuff but here are a few of my favorites.

Laura and Shane had a fun shoot with me recently where I climbed a tree, they climbed a tree, and we all climbed trees together. All the while Shane who swears he doesn’t drink a lot of soda was finishing his 2nd bottle of cold Mexican coke (not pictured here). He loves the stuff. What is the difference you may ask? The Mexican variety of Coke is house in a sexy glass bottle as well and much more importantly is made with pure cane sugar as opposed the the American version made with high fructose corn syrup. I can’t say that I can taste the difference but I do know that those who love Coke usually prefer the imported kind from south of the border. Shane will tell you to keep the border open as long as he can get some lovin’ from Coke … oh and I could tell he appreciates the love from Laura too!

One thing that I love about shooting is that every couple and shoot is different. Many times we are in the same locations but personalities and chemistry always changes. JoAnn was cracking me up because in order to get her to give me just a little more smile I had to pull out a few extra stops. She either thought that I was the funniest guy in the world or perhaps the strangest but it turned out well. 
Jason just kept laughing at how much I was making her laugh. Such a fun time. Here two images …

I am so excited for this. It seems like it was just yesterday Matt and I shot Kurt and Shanna’s wedding together. Now they have a boy on the way any day now. Yes, yes, I know she only looks half way there, but you should be seeing newborn pics soon. Doesn’t she make you so jealous? I had so much fun on this shoot. Their chemistry is still so hot after all this time that the mama couldn’t take it anymore, she saw water at the end and obliged herslef to play. I wasn’t going to say no, they were great shots!

Matt and Mary met at Disneyland. No they weren’t feeling butterflies riding the tea cups or fighting the Evil Emperor Zurg on Buzz Lightyear. He was her boss. I am not sure if she said yes because he is adorable or because she was trying to climb the ladder but this cute couple are making it official. Whether they are dressed as Ewoks or swinging in a playground together they are in the happiest place on earth. Here are a few images from the shoot …
