Greer & Eli :: Couple's Shoot

Wow! Long time no post, huh! It's been an amazingly busy summer and only slightly less busy fall for me. I've been doing a ton of second shooting this season, and will post about that soon, as our season is about to come to an end! Speaking of which...I know I shouldn't complain, but this crazy warm SOCAL weather is killin' me! I'm ready for some cooler fall temps, but definitely don't envy our friends in Boston...they were already buried by the first storm of the season!

Anywhoo! Last nite my friend Greer (see her smoking' hot boudoir shots here) and her boyfriend Eli celebrated a special anniversary with a little photoshoot! Everybody deserves to have wonderful pics of themselves, engaged, married or not! Thanks for asking me to shoot these, and I'll be watching my mailbox for a holiday card featuring a picture or two from this shoot!

Kozak/Evans Family :: Family Portraits

I love it when I get the chance to work with clients more than once, it's like being able to document the different phases of their lives. I first met Lisa when I photographed the baby shower her friends threw for her and baby Dean, then I took baby and family photos of Lisa, her husband Chris, and baby Dean and big brother Dillon. I was honored when Chris' mother, Rosanne, contacted me to take some "extended" family portraits! She and her husband Don were in town from Oregon, and Chris' brother Jason and his wife Sarah and son Marek were visiting from St. Louis. They chose a great time for a visit to Orange County, the weather was extraordinarily warm, and we got some great shots!

Baby Dean :: Family Portraits

Remember this adorable shower? Well, Baby Dean has joined the world, and he is too adorable for words!! I was honored when mom Lisa asked me to take some pictures of the new arrival, who wasn't quite so new by the time we were able to get something scheduled. He and big brother Dillon were so well-behaved that day, given that they were pretty pooped from a week-long family wedding! And I love how coordinated the outfits are...Mom had on some amazing Christian Louboutins!

Note: The first 3 images were taken when I went back to visit Dean 2 weeks later....can you believe how much he's grown?!!

A Girl Named Maria...

Last weekend my friend and co-worker Maria went on a fun shoot about town...we hit up Deep Ellum in Dallas, and the Katy Trail. Maria is a photographer too, so we had a good time discussing photography equipment and technique...nerds!!!
