Here are a few images from another recent shoot. It’s actually another type of shoot I may start adding to the studio. It’s a before and after shoot. Where we will do a complete makeover and do an amazing photo shoot. I’m still working on the details. I did this shoot after she had a complete makeover. The girls at Meleesa’s Salon did the amazing makeover. They are located right down the street from my studio in downtown Huntington Beach. Meleesa has such an amazing team. When she arrived at my studio she was already made up. When I first saw the before image I couldn’t believe it.

Here is the before shot. Be sure to contact the studio if something like this interests you.

AFTER Can you believe this is the same girl.

I never shoot families anymore. But in the last week I’ve been busy with families.

Here are a couple shots from a recent shoot. We just walked around HB for a quick shoot.

Another beautiful day in Laguna.

I know I don’t blog many family sessions. But my studio does do a lot of family sessions. Most are done by my photographer Melissa. I don’t shoot very many family sessions. From time to time I will shoot them. Here is a coupe shots from a recent shoot.

I shot Erin & Jeff’s wedding a few years ago. It was great to hangout with them and meet the kids.

Well as you saw in a previous post we got to spend some time in Mexico recently. So one of the weddings that took me there was Diana & Damion’s in Cancun. I just love the beautiful backdrop that Cancun offers. We had a blast.

I wanted to do an update on how For His Eyes Only is doing. It has really taken off. I had so much fun the last couple days shooting a couple sessions. I can’t post any of those images. Can’t spoil the surprise. Once the gift is given I will be posting. Be sure to check out the website. New images are getting added all the time. I also updated all the text sections talking more about the experience and testimonials.

Here are a couple images that I can show.

It’s always fun to incorporate what your man does for a living. Doesn’t she make a great firefighter.

This is one of my favorite shots from another session

WIth all my crazy travels the last few weeks I’ve fallen behind on blogging.
Here is a great wedding at one of my favorite locations I’ve been wanting to blog.

Well the last couple weeks I’ve been hanging in Mexico. I had back to back weekends with weddings in Mexico. The first one in Cancun and the 2nd in Cabo San Lucas. I’m in Cabo now getting ready to shoot my wedding in a couple of hours. Since I ws going to be in Mexico I decided to make a little bit of a vacation out of it also. So I invited a few friends down to Cozumel to hangout for a few days. I love Cozumel. It’s a great place to just hangout and take it easy. I also love it for the Scuba Diving. I was here back in June with my daughter. She got certified and it was a blast. Now on this trip it was Stephanie’s turn to get certified. My friend Pete from Generations Entertainment is also a certified diver. So he came along on teh trip with his wife Whitney who joined Stephanie in getting certified.
We had a great group of people on the trip.

We had a blast. There are so many pics that I would love to blog. Just don’t have the time. But here are a few.

There were some fun toys to play with at the house. Here is Heath going for a bike ride.

Natalie playing us a song

Mark & I decided we needed a shot of tequila before we checked out the ruins in the island. We could of past on the ruins.

It was so beautiful out at night. This is right outside of our house.

Time for some diving. How do I look?

I was so proud of Stephanie. She knocked out her certification and was right there with us on every dive. We even did a night dive. Which was a first for all of us.

I had to give my wife a kiss under the water.

Stephanie found a friend

Stephanie always working the camera

We even saw a shark on our last dive. He is hard to see in the picture. Look close. He just swam on by us. Very cool.

I hope to blog more photos when I get home. It was such a great trip. Thanks to all our friends who were able to join us on this trip. I hope we can make this an annual event.
