Megan and David at USC

Megan and David both warned me that David didn't like taking photos and that he would be hard to shoot. They warned me in our first meeting, on the phone when they scheduled their eng. shoot, and when we got to USC to start shooting.
He was awesome and so was Megan. He took a little coaxing start to relax and have fun with it all, but when he got comfortable he did a fantastic job- see for yourself:

USC is such a cool place to shoot, I wish I lived closer:).

This shot was fun, my reflector was about 50 feet out to the right in full sun shooting the light all the way over to this dark hallway.
A little off-camera flash to create a little drama...

So fun, they brought their jerseys to horse around a little. David's crazy, I mentioned something about them going in the fountains that were near us on campus- 80% jokingly- and he was excited to say he was in that fountain not long ago celebrating after a game. They are HUGE USC fans! Stefanie, our associate photographer, was mad that she didn't get to go to the shoot because she is a HUGE fan too!


David was playing for keeps, he did not let Megan win- he was all game.
Hut, hut, hut....
I can't wait to shoot these two at their wedding next May. We got great images here, at the 'practice run' so the wedding images will be even better! They chose the St. Regis in Laguna and will be well taken care of by Jeannie and the girls at Details Details.
Can't wait!

Well, she loved the images and the event design and had to share with her readers. Thanks for the props Brenda!

Caysen's 6!!

I can't even believe my little guy is already six years old! He reads like an eight year old, rides his bike with the best of them and plays soccer like a champ too, but I can't even wrap my head around this whole '6' thing!!

He lucked out because his end-of-the-year soccer party was on his birthday (this past Sunday) so he essentially had two parties. Actually the party at home was pretty mellow:)
Here he is with his chuckeecheesey cake.And the trophy ceremony.Yes, that's Jeni, she was the asst. coach, we trade every year, I got to coach Bay's team this year...
And at home with his sis and cousins:Opening an awesome piece of artwork from his cousin- love the homemade gifts!!Yes, David loves Fox because he's a 'motocrosser' and draws the logo all the time.If you know Cayse and noticed his hair is shorter- he got it cut off the day before. If you didn't know he used to have hair that just came straight down all the way around- over his eyes a little. Wanted to try spiking it like a 3rd grader at school:)

I love you, bud, happy birthday!

A Night in Fullerton- Art Walk

I participated in Night in Fullerton back in 2003 when I had works on display at the Village Art Center- now my neighbor. This year my own studio was on the tour- how cool! There was an OK turnout as the tour has been in spring in the past- some people were a little thrown off the change...

It was great watching visitors looking over my work and it was great to get so many new people into the studio- many didn't even know we were here! I also had to keep reminding people that we have been in business in Fullerton for nearly nine years now- we're not a brand new studio, we'

These are a few of the favorites:


Here's how we set it up, my brother Jeremy (saving me again) installed this cable the night before the show and I found these cool silver binder clips and that was that- I told Jeni everything would be fine as she was stressing about my last-minute-as-usual character flaw.
We had a nice steady stream of guests- so much fun!

Thanks so much to all who supported me/us, we had a great time. And thanks to the Fullerton Museum Center for doing a great job of putting it all together! Can't wait for next year!

I've been locked up!

The OCMDA Locked me up today! It was rough- we had to hang out at a cool Rock'n'roll restaurant/bar in Downtown Fullerton called The Slidebar. I busted out but still have to raise money to pay fines to get them off my tail!

Please help Jerry's kids by donating a little or a lot- we've got 30 days before they post a warrant!
