Bowser Family Portraits [Monterey Photography]

It's been a busy few months for Portrait sessions. I'm really happy this part of my business is taking off. Christine was in town for the Big Sur Marathon and her family came to support her. She decided she wanted to have a portrait session in beautiful Carmel Beach to remember the trip. We started at the Carmel Forest Lodge, where they were staying, and worked our way down to the beach, hitting several great spots along the way. Carmel has so much to work with, I could spend all day there.

Brittany & Felipe [Santa Barbara Wedding Photography]

Brittany and Felipe's wedding at the University Club in Santa Barbara was fantastic. After the indoor ceremony we did family portraits around the outside of the club then headed out by limo to the Santa Barbara Courthouse and Alice Keck Park. After portraits we went back into the University Club for dinner and dancing with DJ Eddie Limon from Above the Crowd Productions. Flowers were provided by Renae's Bouquets, Video by Pyramid Pyro, Cake by Montecito Confections and Guitarist, Sam Adams performed during the ceremony.

Central Coast Songwriters Showcase 04/20/10 [San Luis Obispo Music Photography]

I was really hoping for some reggae for the 4/20 songwriters showcase. That didn't exactly happen but I did get a good night of tunes and some great photos. Matt Hatfield, Dusk Till Dawn, Rob Hutchings, Charlie Beaudion, Annie Turchenshen, Jennifer & Mark Rohner, and TPN Band graced the Clubhouse stage. Charlie Beaudion has been looking forward to getting in front of my camera since I started shooting at the Clubhouse. He is attending the Modern Music Academy and needs some photos for the marketing portion of the program. All of the acts did a great job but I thoroughly enjoyed Dusk till Dawn (although not a fan of the name) and TPN Band.

Gore Family Portraits [San Luis Obispo Photography]

This family was all in town from different directions for a wedding at The Cliffs so they decided to schedule a Family Portrait session. We met at Spyglass, where they were staying. It was so windy that we had to scrap going to Shell Beach. Instead we found a sheltered area alongside The Cliffs Resort. There is a wooded area that is very beautiful on the North side of the resort. We did several group shots and individual family groups. The wardrobe selection was great. Instead of just having everyone in white they added blue to some people's outfits.
