Ryan – Headshots
I had a blast taking Ryan’s pictures back in Omaha! This was a gift to his mother, and she was super thrilled to get them!
- I know this has nothing to do with your work and I'm sorry but my mind is random like that...your picture, like, the one of you in the masthead, makes me think of the tall guy in Lady Antebellum, the country trio(I don't know names even though I love their music, bad me). Also, because I feel as though I must also say something about your photography, it's kind of amazing. I thoroughly enjoy blog stalking you and I love the grain and textures in these shots!January 28, 2010 - 9:33 pm
- See Troy... I told you you look like Charles Kelley!January 28, 2010 - 11:21 pm
- You do amazing work. And it doesn't hurt that Ryan is hot!!! I know that Ryan's Dad really loved the pictures.January 29, 2010 - 7:19 pm
- Charles Kelley! That's his name!January 31, 2010 - 1:28 pm
- haha, Brittney was the first one who told me that. I've been getting it more and more lately. He must be one good looking guy ;)February 1, 2010 - 7:55 pm
Rain Drops keep falling on my head…
I cannot believe how bad these Southern California storms have been, we even had a Tornado here. I walked around our house after the storm one day and took these pictures. During the storm, I heard a big boom at the front door and sure enough it ended up being this owl. I’m guessing it’s one of the neighbors, but in the meantime the owl is living on our doorstep.
- So beautiful!January 26, 2010 - 6:11 pm
- Oh my gosh! That sky!January 31, 2010 - 6:51 pm

Winter Wonderland
Aimee and I are just flying back from our weekend trip in Omaha. We had a couple of shoots and we also had our Omaha wedding reception. This is what we flew into. I haven’t seen this much snow in a long time. Aimee took the 1st picture and I took the last 2. These pictures are taken from the deck of my parents house.

A Proposal
Last week, Heather from Simply U Proposals contacted me to photograph one of her clients upcoming proposals. I always get super excited when I get to be there for the proposal and I think get even more nervous then the groom proposing. The couple, Kyle and Melissa, are from Alabama and came to California to vacation and watch the BCS championship game. They are both huge fans of the water and met while wake boarding, so Kyle wanted to propose on a boat. Simply You Propose arranged for a boat at the Carlsbad Lagoon for the couple to cruise around in. The driver, who actually worked for the Watersport company, pretended to be a past friend of Kyle’s. I was on board pretending to take pictures for the Watersport company’s website. Kyle and Melissa graciously volunteered to be “models” for some feature shots of the boat. After cruising around for twenty minutes we stopped the boat to do some posed “promo shots”. I arranged them in a few poses, and then had Kyle go down on one knee & take Melissa’s hand. Melissa was so focussed on the camera that she didn’t realize that Kyle was holding a beautiful engagement ring. I directed Melissa to look down at Kyle, and then caught her reaction as his proposal unfolded.
- absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!January 15, 2010 - 12:09 pm
- Ah this is so happy and such a great story :) I love it! Great job!January 15, 2010 - 12:25 pm
- Love it! The photos turned out even better than I imagined. Great job with capturing Melissa's reaction. It was so fun working with you for this proposal.January 15, 2010 - 1:25 pm
- SOOOOOO cool!!!!!January 15, 2010 - 4:33 pm
- Cute cute! They look like models, love the black and whites!January 16, 2010 - 12:24 pm
- awesome job...beautiful pics........and roll tide..........January 19, 2010 - 11:29 am
