Jacob: ONE AT LAST!

We did it! We made it through Jacob's first birthday. What a day! We had 41 guests at the event so it really worked out well that we were able to do it at our clubhouse. I do not think we could have fit everyone in our place. The kids seemed to have the best time and Jacob walked, crawled, climbed, and squeezed his way around everything and everyone. I even caught him sipping from other kids juice boxes, eating from other kids plates, and pretty much grabbing anything he could get his sticky little hands on while I wasn't around. Here are some of the shots from the day. To check out all the photos go to his new Facebook Page and become a fan of our little Jacob! Happy New Year, and Happy Birthday, Jacob!

Jacob: Mourning the Passing of His Infancy

It is official. Jacob is no longer an infant. I took some photos just before midnight on December 30th to document his passing from infancy to toddlerhood. He is definitely toddling all around, but he still looks so little and innocent while he sleeps. Happy Birthday Little Man!

Weddings: Best of 2008

This past Sunday finalized my wedding season. What a great year, and I have to say a big thanks to all my couples! In coming up with what I feel are the best shots of the year, it was a ton of fun remembering all those beautiful days I was blessed to participate in. With over 50,000 images shot on just weddings this year, believe me when I say, it was hard to choose! So, here they are: what I feel are my best shots from the year. (and these don't even cover the incredible shots any of my assistants shot or the solo weddings shot by my other principal shooter, Shay.

Wedding: Steven and Danielle

Today I worked with two totally in love people on what could not have been a more beautiful day in December down at the Laguna Beach Surf and Sand Resort. Danielle and Steven were such a delight to photograph and their friends and family made the event worth every moment. I have never seen the entire party on the dance floor at once! They had a fantastic band which always helps. Here are a few of my favorites. Thanks, Danielle & Steven, and congratulations!
