Congratulations to Karina and Ali as they are expecting their first child in just a few weeks! Such an exciting time of life! This was truly an amazing day and after getting to know Karina and Ali I can’t wait to meet their new addition. I have a feeling he’s going to be quite the [...]

Serendipitous Snapshots

Austin — Fri, 18 May 2012 22:30:30 +0000

Been shooting on an old Twin Lens Reflex film camera lately and I had a couple shots left on a roll before processing the images so I thought I would snap a couple right where I was. Glad I did.

Brannon & Darlene Are Gettin’ Hitched!

Man what a fun day this was! Got to spend some time with Brannon and Darlene (one amazingly cool couple), got to play with some amazing light, tons of color, and to top it all off we ended the day over some of the best sushi I’ve had in awhile (Hama Sushi in little Tokyo). [...]

In The Wake

Austin — Thu, 17 May 2012 22:04:27 +0000

In the wake of losing my amazing Grandma a few weeks back we decided a day near the water with family was what everyone needed. A breath of fresh air. I brought along a film camera to capture a bit of the day together. Something about the raw feeling of old school black and white [...]

Ziomek Family Portrait

Austin — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:49:51 +0000

This was a fantastic backyard portrait session just above the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Most of the Ziomek family was in town visiting from the Midwest so it was great to be with them as they visited with each other and enjoyed the sunny California weather.

Tis the season for Spring Portraits, and they are in full swing! We headed into the endlessly versatile Arroyo Seco park with the Oh Family for some great natural environment and soft warm light. They said this was their first time doing a family portrait altogether, but it felt like they had been doing this [...]

One of the greatest perks about my job is getting to work with amazing, beautiful, and inspiring people. Every now and then they are even people you know, as was the case in this session. I went to school with Babs and Emma and it has been so much fun to watch their family grow [...]

Alyssa and Jesse really wanted to do a session that not only captured who they are as a couple, but a [...]
