March 21st, 2012: Madalyn just turned 10, yeah like an entire decade. I’m surprised too… In our ongoing tradition of not giving gifts and instead taking our nieces on an adventure for their birthdays, Madalyn got out of school early and headed down to Santa Monica with us to check out one of the latest [...]
March 14th, 2012: Bright and early last Saturday, Felicia and I met with Kate & David at Griffith Observatory for their engagement shoot. We thought we were pretty smart for starting “early”, but we were surprised to find the parking lot almost completely full already at 8am on a Saturday morning, with scores of people [...]
March 13th, 2012: The most recent loan from Canon Professional Services was the 400mm f/4 DO IS, definitely not a lens I would bring along to a wedding or engagement shoot – but it’s spectacular if you have the back seat of a car to store it in on a road trip and want to [...]
March 9th, 2012: As you might be able to tell from the last few posts, Felicia and I are right smack in the middle of engagement photos season – It’s like pre-season for the upcoming summer packed full of weddings. This past Sunday we met Alex and Amy in Santa Barbara (one of Felicia’s favorite [...]
March 8th, 2012: Paty & Orlando are seriously a couple after our own hearts: They have an intimate, travel-themed wedding planned, complete with passport/boarding pass invites, much like ours. They even showed up to their Union Station in coordinated red-and-black outfits: our wedding colors. I guess stranger coincidences have happened? We had a wonderful time [...]
March 5th, 2012: At 7 in the morning last Saturday we headed to LAX to drop off Felicia’s mom for her flight back to Singapore, and by that afternoon we were back in full working photographer mode. We met Jamie and Jesse at the Stagecoach Inn in Newbury Park, and were amazed by this hidden [...]
February 27th 2012: By Day Three of our California road trip, I’d put the chains on the car for Sequoia, taken them off to get back on the 99 to head to Yosemite, then had to put them back on to make our way into Yosemite Valley. For any of you who have ever had [...]
February 21st, 2012: So Felicia’s mom is in town and we have to entertain… What to do? We figured a grand road trip across California was the only way to go, what we didn’t figure on was that we would start off during the only big storm of the winter. We left Burbank early last [...]
February 13th, 2012 “Mommy’s coming to see me! Mommy’s coming to see me!” Felicia has been chanting this for the last month since her mother decided last month to come to the U.S. for her first visit. In the month leading up to the visit, Felicia had me doing just about everything imaginable, from hanging curtains [...]
February 7th, 2012: Remember a few months back when I was able to borrow the Canon 100mm Macro IS and shoot a few weddings with it? Well, it went on sale and Felicia and I couldn’t resist…. Now we can see the world REALLY close up. In other news, Felicia’s mother is coming to [...]
