Xenia

Two weeks ago I shot with a model named Xenia. This was our second time shooting together the last time being in mid 2011. This was my first shoot using the Canon 5DmarkIII. A great camera that i'm still trying to wrap my head around. The shoot was very casual and we had a great time working together. Here are a few of the images. Enjoy.

p.s. Some of the effects used in the images above were done using the SLR Lounge Lightroom 4 Preset System. If your a photographer reading this post and use Lightroom as your main photo editor, I highly recommend checking it out. 

Long Beach Engagement - Steve & Christina

Had the opportunity of shooting an engagement session this past week in Long Beach. Steve and Christina were a blast, and we had a lot of fun capturing these images. Looking forward to shooting their wedding this coming May. Congratulations Steve and Christina!

Role Reversal

This post doesn't contain any images I took recently. The link I am putting up at the end of this entry is actually a link to another photographers website. I proposed to my fiancé a little over a year ago and with our wedding quickly approaching, things are getting real. One of my highest sources of stress in planning was finding the perfect photographer. I searched hundreds (literally) of blogs and websites looking for the perfect match of style and consistency. Once I stumbled across Orange County based Lin & Jirsa, I knew they were the ones I'd been looking for. Below is a link to our engagement session with Justin Lin or Lin & Jirsa taken this past December. It sure was weird being on the other side of the camera for once :)

Emily Brooks

Hey everyone. So I decided to finally dust off my studio equipment and do a shoot on seamless again. Most of my shoots are on location, but I also love shooting in studio. Emily and I had a great time creating these images. Hope you all enjoy these, and keep checking back as I am still editing some recent shoots that should be up soon..
