Jane and Charles

Charles and I worked at Talking Tire (Telcontar) together. It was Charles' first job out of college, but it was my 4th, due to the dot com boom and bust. I have really great memories from working there. We joked around a lot during work and hung out after work sometimes. I remember partying at Ibiza, good times.

You read it right, Ibiza! Oh man, those were the days. Charles was like my little brother. Then he moved away to Korea and continued his journey.

I am so glad he moved back to the Bay Area. Although, he is a MAN now and no longer that little boy, he came back with a prize.

Jane is super sweet and super thoughtful. But don't let that sweet face of Jane fool you. One of these days, I've got to go to happy hour with them and maybe go check out Ibiza. Well, maybe I won't go that far.

I was so honored when Jane asked me to witness their important event.

Sneak Peak - Gabby

I met Gabby through my co-worker. She has a very unique personality. I love it when she giggled when I tell her to sit like she's waiting for her friend while I was shooting. We were shooting in downtown Lodi and I thought the scenary really suited her well. She's got that skater-punk style which I love.
Here's a few shots from the session. It was a blast to work with her.

My 12 days of Christmas

Another part of being a professional photographer is finding the right products for your clients. There are so many neat products out there and so many vendors, it is not an easy task.

This year, I went to WPPI to personally feel and touch what I really want to offer my clients. The decisions were not easy. I still get a bunch of emails from the vendors I visited trying to get me to sign up with them.

So my 12 days of Christmas started when I start placing orders with my vendors. Yesterday I got my wavy border frames delivered and I felt like a kid at Christmas. I couldn't open that packaging fast enough. AHHH!!! It was a happy AH! I am super happy. Metallic paper ROCKS! I think that's going to be my new thing. Especially with the hip Seniors.

You can't see this, but it is like high-def. WOOOOO....

Sneak Peek - Victoria

This past Sunday, I had a shoot with Victoria. She's a very pretty girl and also super friendly. She was very easy to chat with, making the shoot really fun. One thing I got to know about Victoria is that she is a very motivated and driven girl. Her energy came through in the shoot.

Have a great 2010 Senior year!
