Yard House Favorites

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

I drove over to Old Today today to take a quick stroll through the Pasadena Antiquarian Book, Print, Photo and Paper Fair held at the Pasadena Convention Center. Afterwards, we grabbed at bite at the Pasadena Yard House in the Paseo. The food we ordered appeared so scrumptious that I had to grab a few quick photographs. To tell the truth, I’d love to do more work as a food photographer!

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

I had yet another shoot with Lucia Friedericy today capturing a few photographs of her latest custom doll creations. And I also found out that one of my photographs of her dolls from a previous session is gracing the cover of the current issue of the Toy Shoppe catalog.

Yummy Product Photography

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

So my fun with product photography continues–this time with food! A couple of these photographs feature my favorite breakfast from Noah’s. And no, it’s not the doughnuts! The last black and white photograph is of my family silver. And the reason I converted it to black and white is because it was tarnished and I didn’t want to break out the Brasso!

Product Photography – M&M Experiment

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

I decided to work on a personal project this weekend and see what I could come up with when I mixed M&M candies (dark) with some of my favorite glassware. What do you guys think of this still life photography? I’m sure to be the envy of product photographers everywhere! {ok, not really}

Portrait of Javier

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

I was looking through my archives today and came across this black and white portrait of Javier. I took this during the my transition to digital photography. Even though I can tell that the technical merits of the image aren’t up to my current standards (due to the camera I was using), I still very much like the drama seen in this photograph.

Wendy + Mike Wedding – The Ebell Club – Long Beach

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

This was the first time that I’ve photographed a wedding at The Ebell Club in Long Beach, California. It’s a really beautiful venue that offers some extraordinary afternoon light in their main hall. Wendy and Mike are such a fun couple to photograph. And although Mike likes to pretend he’s a grumpy guy at times, Wendy knows he’s just a big teddy bear at heart!
