I've been working with Victoria on her model portfolio for over a year now. This is one of my favorites from a shoot we did last week. She's only 13 and has great potential. This is pretty much when you have to start if you're serious about modeling.
I know it looks like a little model of the current progress on Ponte's new hotel. But I promise you, it is the real thing. I've just been playing around with my new Tilt-and-Shift lens effect.
This was the bride's idea... she brought the sparklers and wanted to capture the word 'Love.' I've seen it before but this is my first attempt at it. Next time I'd make sure to put the bride and groom in the middle. I have other ideas so if you are one of my clients and you'd like to experiment with light then let me know.
This shot was taken at Ponte Winery on 11-11-11. Dramatic skies like this one are pretty typical October through March and REALLY help to create better photos.

I had the privilege of photographing Brittney & Chris' engagement session at the amazing Great Oak in Temecula. The tree is sacred to the Pechanga Indians and is estimated at over 1,000 years old . It has come to embody the identity and character of the Pechanga people: Strength, Wisdom, Longevity and Determination.
I was especially fortunate to have photographed at this location because they do not allow non-tribal members on this site without an escort. Brittney is a tribal member so we got special permission. Thank you to their wedding coordinator, Annette Nielson, for arranging the shoot :)
This is Terra from last Saturday's Falkner wedding in Temecula. Terra didn't pose at all for this one. It was moments after her bridesmaid put her veil on; she was just making a small adjustment before we got into her bridal portrait.
I only had three minutes for the bridal portrait and was very happy about this one. No photoshop on her!
