Congrats to Liz and Kerry!!

Well our incredibly busy and crazy weekend is now over and here i am yet again, recovering and working on more images. As crazy as it was it really was a lot of fun to be there and share in our friends big day and such a blessing to be chosen to capture it in photographs. So 1st up is Liz and Kerry, they got married on Saturday at the Vista Optimist Club, the day was hot but gorgeous. Absolutely perfect weather for a wedding,this one was especially fun for me as i have known kerry and liz since they were in the HS group at church and all the way through college group when i was there as a leader and doing sound. I have been able to see their relationship from the very beginning and its growth to this inevitable moment. The wedding was awesome, lots of fun and so cool to see the whole day unfold. I better stop before i get all sentimental and this blog goes on for eternity, i will end with this though. Liz and Kerry, this may sound weird coming from me as i am not that much older than you guys but i dont know if i could ever truly express how truly proud i am of you both. Seeing you both grow in the Lord and seeing your relationship grow stronger everyday has been a true privilege. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives and for letting us share in your big day. Heres a few photos from Saturday. Enjoy!!

Let the craziness begin!

On wednesday i did a senior portrait session for a lovely girl named Sofia. It was so much fun and a surprise too, before the shoot Sofia had told me that she might be a little "lost" in front of the camera since this was the 1st actual photo shoot she had done. To my surprise she did incredibly well, it all went so smoothly and felt like it was so little effort, her mom came a long and it was nice to have her there as she provided some candid moment for me to capture. We shot at the Bonsall Bridge ( i seem to be shooting a lot there lately), no complaints here though as i have enjoyed the challenge of trying to pull something fresh and new from the area. Sofia you did awesome!! Thanks for being such a great sport, im not going to write much more as i have to wake up early in the morning for a wedding and then we have a nother wedding on Sunday. Then more portrait work coming up and some stuff for the magazine and soon ill be in Hawaii for 3 1/2 weeks of time with my lovely wife and non stop shooting............life is sooooo good! Heres a few photos from Wednesday, ill post some more after this crazy weekend is over. Enjoy!

Living in my cave of solitude....

The blog as you can very well see has not been updated in a while. I have spent the last several weeks catching up on the huge amount of editing that needed to get done. While i was hoping to be caught up and moved onto other things this week it just didnt work out that way. This whole week a have been incredibly sick, while i tried to get some work done i couldnt do more than a 30 minute to an hour stretch at a time before i would start feeling really dizzy. So bedridden i was for the entire week resting as much as i could, still one can only do so much and watch so many movies before you start to lose your mind. To keep my sanity i did manage to go through some photos, seeing as how our Trip to hawaii is quickly approaching i thought it would be nice to go back and explore some of the images from last years trip. Alot of these are underwater images and some you may have already seen from previous posts, while im not really into rehashing old photos i did find it fun going back and employing some better editing techniques. The biggest difference is in the underwater photos by far, this new round of photos has a lot more color and punch to them. Anywho, now its back to work and getting as much done as humanly possible, would be nice to feel 100% though. I still cant seem to get my balance back and feel dizzy and queazy but i think i just have to power through it. Enjoy the photos until the next update......which i will try to to do as soon as possible.

Staff photos.....with a dash of zo.....

So a while back i was asked by the Jordan staff ( the jordan is our college ministry at North Coast Church, i do sound for them. Just to give you a little background ) asked if i would be willing to shoot their staff photos for the new website. This of course sounded like a lot of fun, but i cant say that i jumped at the idea. After 10 years of ministry, and several years of taking a break i have been SLOWLY getting myself back into it. My time is something that i guard closely so i have been very careful as to what projects to take on. I have been there doing sound for them for a little over a year now, and while the process has been slow i am slowly starting to feel like this is a ministry that i can call home. I have enjoyed some long and insightful conversations with the staff that have helped me get to this point, and looking back on all of it i know that this is where God wants me to be. I have enjoyed a real connection with the staff and with the students and have also enjoyed being a part of the ministry in this time of transition. The staff have all made an effort to make me feel like am a part of the team and while i am not an official part of the staff they certainly make me feel like it. Anywho, so after much consideration i decided that yes i would shoot the staff photos and i am glad that i did. The afternoon was a BLAST, it was great to hang out and have fun, joke around and laugh, and it was fun to share with others something that i am very passionate about. Heres some photos from the shoot, i hope you like them. Enjoy!!

The Jordan staff is: Elise Boggs, Brett Best, Andrew Polfer, Jen Polfer, and the incredible Scientific Smith. These guys are an amazing team and a huge blessing to the college students that attend the Jordan. Seldom have i seen such an incredibly creative and talented team work so well together. Thanks for all you do guys, youre amazing.
