Hi Friends, Had a blast working with the Weinstein family this week!  They used the pretense of a family portrait shoot to get everyone together for a big family BBQ – something they’ve apparently not been able to do in a while.  We shot at the beautiful Tustin Ranch Golf Club, and many thanks are Read more about Family Portrait Session at Tustin Ranch Golf Club[…]

Gamer…the Portrait

Hi Friends, In between client work, it’s important to keep the creative juices flowing.

Hi Friends, Trying to stock up for family calendar photos for this year (which reminds me, I gotta start pulling the calendar together soon!).

Family Portrait Session

The bane of most photographers is that we seldom show up in our own family portraits-for obvious reasons. So, when my folks asked for a new family photo, I took the opportunity to “schedule” a session with my wife and kids.  We trekked over to a local elementary school that has a favorite red wall Read more about Family Portrait Session[…]
