Photos and stories about my life as a wedding and fashion photographer.

Mary Jane
Today I had a blast photographing fellow photographer and friend Mary Jane. Janey works in Santa Barbara as a wedding photographer and approached me back in December to do some fashion photos. I decided to do the photo shoot up at Lizards Mouth located in the Santa Ynez mountain range. Lizards Mouth is a local rock outcropping and rock climbing hot spot that looks out over the entire Santa Barbara coast line. Today the fog and low clouds covered the coast like a white blanket hugging the mountain range. The Channel Islands could be seen in the distance peeking through the low lying fog. Fortunately the weather up at Lizards Mouth was sunny and beautiful with a slight off shore breeze. The wind actually was perfect for blowing Janey’s hair around, making for proper fashion styled photos! Leaving lizards mouth we headed down to Henry’s Beach to get some personality photos for Janey’s website. At the beach the sunlight was burning through the fog which created perfect lighting for the fun photos we had planned.
My own philosophy on life has always been reflected in my photography. Photography is not a simple mirror image of people and their lives. Photography has the power to turn fantasy into reality and forces new thoughts and ideas. Oscar Wilde once said that “Life imitates art, far more than art imitates life”, and I think he was right. It is my passion to enrich the lives of others through my own art of photography, and to allow people to capture their lives in a way that fuels their imagination and their dreams.
