Behind The Scenes: Dianna & Glenn's Engagement Shoot

So yesterday I had the privilege of taking Dianna and Glenn's engagement photos. They were such a wonderful couple to work with! We had a lot of fun out on the shoot. I'd also like to thank my lovely assistants for the day, Abel and Estefani! They were super helpful. Before I post up the highlights from the shoot, I decided to post some behind the scenes shots to show you what it's like during an engagement shoot. And yes, there was a lot of goofing around.. :)


Just arriving on location. The happy couple is in the middle, and my assistants are the other two people are my assistants, being silly... As usual.

It was such a perfect and beautiful day out. Freezing, but beautiful.


Lots of birds, too.

This shoot was such a blast to shoot. I will be posting up the highlights as soon as I get the actual photos approved by the happy couple! Congrats, Dianna and Glenn!

Flowers; Flores; Fleurs

So I have this odd fascination with taking photos of flowers. Today I went to my grandmother's house, and since yesterday was her anniversary, she had a large variety of bouquet's of flowers. So obviously I took advantage of this, and with the help of good ol' Photoshop, I was able to get the best out of my "impromptu" shoot.

Graffiti - Feb. 3, 2010

So a dear friend of mine showed me this graffiti wall that is local.. I had no idea that decent graffiti walls even existed in this area! I was super excited, so here are some shots I took of it. I definitely plan on holding some future shoots here.








The only thing is that there is a silly pole right in the middle of this beautiful artwork. Whoever created this is brilliant... If the city ever decides to paint over this, I will be deeply saddened.
