Independence Day in Santa Barbara

Spent the evening hanging out with some friends at East Beach and cooking a tasty dinner on the BBQ while watching the fire work show. Right when the grand finale was rocking some locals had their own grand finale right in front of us!

Lauren's Fashion Photo Shoot

Today I had a blast photographing my friend Lauren in Santa Barbara. Lauren is currently attending medical school to become a doctor but had always wanted a chance to be in front of the camera. Today I gave her that chance and she shined! She did an amazing job considering that she had never modeled before. We started at a beautiful estate in Montecito then headed down to Chase Palm Park and ended on the beach. Lauren’s makeup and hair was prepared at Planet Beauty and her wardrobe was supplied from LF clothing.
My good friend Ben who is Lauren's boyfriend put together this video of the photo shoot. thanks Ben!

Weather Forcast

Since all my photo shoots are on location I am always utilizing the sun as a key source of light for my images. Well, it looks like its gonna be another beautiful sunny photo week!

Puerto Aventuras, Mexico

This past weekend I traveled to Puerto Aventuras, Mexico to photographed Marina and Karl’s wedding. I previously photographed their Fashion Engagement here in Santa Barbara back in April (check out the archived post). The wedding was hosted at the OMNI beach side resort and was decorated with an ambiance you would expect out of a James Bond movie. I had a blast taking photos and hanging out with all my old college teammates and friends. It was a weekend in paradise I will never forget!
