For the time being, I will be doing many of my photo sessions at night.

This was one of my favorite rainy day weddings back in April

Kelly and Family

Last Tuesday I got a chance to meet my classmate Kelly's family, and take pictures at my new favorite spot in Fair Oaks. Thanks for getting me a permit to shoot there Kelly!

Easter Photo Session with Mike Johnston

Mike called me up on Friday asking for a last minute session to promote his new sponsor. This was the shortest photo session I've ever been hired for. Thanks Mike!

Award of Excellence

2010-03-29T01:44:00.001-07:00

Back in 2007 while I attended CSUS, I won an award of excellence for this photo, and it was displayed in the photography room for the year. In the photo is model, John Markiel, and I wrote all over his skin with crayola marker, and also wrote all over the wall. He didn't really like getting written on, so my attempts to write on his face failed miserably. However, I did what he would allow, and took the photo with a 4x5 cadet camera in my garage under flourecant lighting. The negative came out underexposed, and I decided to just through the negative to the floor and step all over it, and scratch it up. I put in the highest contrast filter into the enlarger, and printed it for a good three minutes. I still hated it, and nearly tossed it. My teacher however, said that I must turn in a photo to the student show in order to get a good grade. Sarcastically I turned in this one....and I won....it was awesome.

Me and Allison

We were on a break at a wedding out in Napa, so we decided to test the location for the bride and groom.

Photography for Art

2010-03-29T01:38:00.001-07:00

My good friend Lisa was in need of assistance in photographing her artwork for her portfolio to get into grad school. I photographed many pieces, and she ended up giving me this one as payment. It's 4'x8' and I absolutely love it.

Ginger and Nathan

2010-03-29T00:16:00.001-07:00

Earlier today I got hired to photograph Ginger and Nathan's band. We went over behind Joe's Crab Shack in Old town and this one I decided to tell them to stick their faces pressed up against the wires of the bridge. They didn't do it completely, but nonetheless, I still like it.

A few weeks ago I got hired to shoot for Mike Johnston, owner of mikeslessons.com. He has his own signature drum heads as well as great teaching skills. If you are ever in need of a drum teacher, Mike Johnston is definitely one of the best.

The Pinder Brothers

2010-03-28T21:59:00.000-07:00

Friday night I got a chance to photograph The Pinder Brothers again. They are a great band, and great to photograph. Thanks guys for putting on a good show in Downtown Roseville.

Got to take pictures of Mike Pinder of the Moody Blues

2010-03-23T23:12:00.001-07:00

Last Sunday I got hired by Tara Pinder to take some photos for her husband. This is one of my favorite families to work for, because they are always in need of more photos. Mike has two sons that are in a local band called, The Pinder Brothers, who are also great kids to photograph.

One of my favorite images

This was one of my first Catholic weddings. I believe I took this photo back in 2005
