October 25th, 2007

Here’s a family portrait session at “Baker Park.” The reason we call it Baker Park because we are one of the very few photographers who use this area. Between my wife who is a photographer, along with my parents, it’s a rarity to see anyone else there. This is an AWESOME location. My style is just fun and relaxed. Just KEEPING IT SIMPLE and Natural!!!!!

Enjoy the art images…

09.18.07 sweatshirt catalog

October 20th, 2007

My friend Jeff Bush works for a sweatshirt company that does a lot of custom sweatshirts for many big surf, skateboard, motocross clothing companies. They came to me, to have me photograph a ton of different types of sweatshirts for their new catalog. We shot over four days and over 3900 images. Two of the models were my children, my daughter Camryn a.k.a momma bear, and Trey a.k.a little man.

Here’s some images from the shoot.

09.13.07 The Ziomek girls and their horse Nugget

October 20th, 2007

Photographing animals always is a fun and learning experience. Photographing a huge horse with two young children puts a whole new spin on things. I’m going to show you some before and after photos with the girls and horse. I love digital photography because it makes manipulating images so easy and seem less. Their mother Heidi, did an awesome job of keeping Nugget in the correct position.

Here’s the original image right out of the camera.

096nrt.jpg

Here is the final image. After some manipulating and retouching in Photoshop. I removed the hand, rope, removing the hair out of the eyes, and enhancing the overall colors of the image .

096-copy.jpg

Fun simple expressions.

020.jpg

Great smile.

043.jpg

The sisters showing some love.

Just having a good time with each other.

09.02.07 Little 12 day old baby Juliana

October 20th, 2007

Another wonderful thing about photographing weddings, is babies. I want clients for life. Here is David and Sheila on their wedding day a little over a year ago. Fifteen months later their life has now changed forever, in the best way. A little bundle of joy from God named Juliana.

David and Sheila were married in Laguna Beach, CA.

0001.jpg

Having fun in the sand.

0002.jpg

Introducing baby Juliana!!!!

hh7m0199.jpg

It’s for your BIG close up.

hh7m0244.jpg

Look at the hair.

hh7m0221.jpg

What a great model, she can even smile, or is that gas???? Who cares.

hh7m0005.jpg

Just chillin’ in dad’s arms.hh7m0010.jpg

Juliana was so relaxed, she decided to take a quick nap. How peaceful.

hh7m0011.jpg

O.K. I’m awake!!

hh7m0029.jpg

Can we be done yet??? I’m getting bored.

hh7m0050.jpg

David is sooooooo proud.

hh7m0017.jpg

The love and special bond between a dad and his daughter is so pure.

hh7m0019.jpg

You can never get too manty kisses from dad.

hh7m0057.jpg

Oh!!! Bright lights.

hh7m0085.jpg

Juliana did a great job for only being twelve days old!! When Sheila came back a couple of weeks later Juliana already looked different.

I swear the older I get the faster time goes. Now my daughter is five, it feels like yesterday that I was doing the exact same pose with her. It’s so important to cherish these times, because we blink and before we know it there off to college….
