cool shoot – it was a pleasure to photograph Stephan (GM) and Cedrick from the ICH. I’m deathly afraid of heights (ever since I thought i was going to get ‘blown’ off the edge of the grande canyon when i was 8 from a strong gust of wind) so shooting on the heli pad truly made me sick to my stomach and a little shaky. so; why does the grande canyon not have any railing anyway???? I wonder how many people are screwed up like me from one of those ‘percieved near death’ experiences…
shooting suzanne broughton for oc family feburary’s issue. suzanne is such an active blogger we stopped the shoot for her blogging about 6 times! I suck at blogging… so it was nice to see how a pro does it. do you think i’ll learn anything from it. no! i’m a blogger looser and always will be. no time or lack or organization to make it happen?
taylor was great – i loved shooting to his music too. i actualy revisited the old days of being a makeup artist (yes; i was a makeup artist right out of Purdue for about 6 months!) and did taylor’s makeup… check out his site: http://www.myspace.com/taylorwarrenband | i can’t wait to hear his music on the radio – he’s there!

our little model had a hard time warming up for the shoot, thank God staci had 70’s music to dance too… we were grooving to ‘ring my bell’…. moments not to relive any time soon i hope
one of the most messy shoots i’ve ever had. but oh so fun… I still have orange paint on my camera strap as evidence:-)

I loved this store – they had so many amazingly funny gifts. It’s the perfect store for birthday gifts for people who have everything. They also have lots of great kitchen items, books, and did I mention the aprons? Even though I don’t cook much I had to get one. The owner, below, was a doll. Check them out: http://www.heavenlyhostess.com/

What a cool store – I hate when I want to buy items that I’m photographing – it’s counter productive when the paycheck goes to the product….

Pat and I hiked to a World War II plane crash site – in a ‘disclosed’ area in Orange County. It was pretty erie to see the impact site and how far the plane parts were scattered from it. This was one of my most interesting shoots I’ve ever been on. Very sad – but interesting.
Boys will be boys….
Look at this face…. and check out all the rings on her fingers. She’s such a girlie girl.
And they say only boys like to get dirty…

It is my greatest pleasure to photograph these amazing individuals and their families… this was my second time photographing our troops with Saddleback Church and if I could do this every day I certainly would… I am beyond grateful and thankful for their service, selflessness, sacrifice, and committment. God bless them and their families. Click on more below to see the images.
I had a whopping 2 minutes to photograph beauty b_k before she had to leave the shoot…. I think we did pretty good! Hair and makeup by Cassie Lyons
I had the chance to meet and work with some amazingly talented people…. Here’s a peek at a few…. Makeup and Hair done by Cassie Lyons
Model Andrea
Kylie is my oldest daughter. Most people think that I take a lot of pictures of my own kids since ‘it’s what I do‘ but I really don’t photograph my famlily that much – this photo shoot was way long over due…. she is and amazing model, is such a poser… and has lots of sass!!! Dee Dee Dang did her hair and makup. Here is my ‘big’ baby….
JJ was dying for a “phata-shooot” (as she calls it) so she could pose, wear make-up and get her hair done. Cassie jazzed her up after one of our OST shoots and we got to play…. could she be any cuter?
Tiny Turnips is the latest children’s clothing craze with celebrity’s and professional athletic teams… I am blessed to have the opportunity to photograph these amazing designs. We crammed the entire photoshoot into about 35 minutes – and during the shoot we were dodging the prospect of big snakes!!! Fortunately we did not see any… To check out Tiny Turnips new collection and vintage designs go to www.tinyturnips.com
