this year i had the pleasure of photographing the Martini family for the third year in a row and the location that Nicole chose gave us a lot of different background choices 🙂 living in Southern California truly affords us everything under the sun for backgrounds and always keeps it interesting! this family is awesome and we had a blast getting their holiday pics!!

there is a new category of photography that is popping up called ‘Lifestyle Photography’ and is all about showing people going about their lives, perhaps working in an unusual place. i recently had such a photo shoot and we walked all around downtown Laguna Beach for hours 🙂 i believe these photographs will be used on my client’s Website, but could be used in a multitude of ways! if you find yourself in need of such photographs, please call me, i’d love to walk around town or the beach, etc and photograph you in YOUR element!

this turned out to be my last senior portrait photo shoot for the year and i think it was the best one!!  her mom didn’t want her to have the typical studio backdrop, stiff senior portrait, and so we went to a local park and i vowed this would be the most relaxed photo shoot she would ever have and that she would have to do absolutely nothing but hang out and talk to me and her mom and occasionally give me a smile!!  that’s literally what we did and we all love the results!!!!  check them out for yourself!!

so it’s senior portraits season and i’ve been busy photographing them!! this weeks’ blog features a lovely senior from Utah that came West with her mom to be photographed at Laguna Beach. We strolled along Heisler Park shooting as we spotted wonderful bits of shade and enjoyed sweeping ocean views 🙂 stay tuned for next week’s blog about another beautiful senior!! meanwhile, enjoy this beautiful weather and book your photo session now!
