Big News!

Ok forget the picture, I just threw that in there for the heck of it. As most of my friends know, I've relocated to Fort Worth, Texas (you may have noticed on my sidebar -->) I have put down the camera (for now) to attend to some pressing matters in my new job at TCU. I even got my own office and everything. Speaking of places, I got my own sweet crib - I'll post some pictures when it gets a little more furnished. It's a bit bare right now.

Well, I do miss California...A LOT, but this place is really charming. It was a very tough decision moving to Texas since I had some options in California, but TCU won me over. My only gripe - huge gripe - is the heat. I can't say I'm used to it but I try to stay indoors with the AC. Anyway, I'll have a bigger update later but I felt like this blog has been neglected. No worries, I'll be snapping away soon. Most of all, I really miss everyone at home but the good news is, this job allows me to have 4 months off during the year - where I'll be back in SoCal. Ill need to find some new people to shoot out here. More soon.

Photo of the Week

This flower was taken at AC's church last weekend. I didn't use any sort of color or brightness retouching, just sized, sharpened, and framed for the blog. I don't know if the camera was off - my Nikon tends to be thrown off by intense reds, but this is just ridiculously vibrant. I noticed a ton of blooming wildflowers at UCI on Tuesday and riding my bike around the neighborhood. It looks like Spring is in full swing. This is a great time to take lots of pictures.

A Quick Update

I have been super swamped so i haven't been able to take any pictures since Jazmine's 15 so I thought I'd post a pic I took a while back at the Ritz. They're just rose petals but I really love the colors. Right now is a great time for kid photos since they'll all be in their Halloween costumes - fun! Check out THESE awesome kid photos by one of my favorite local photographers Jessica Verma.

Update: I came across this good guide for taking Halloween pics. Here's the LINK.

Cool Picture

I'm staying in Laguna again this week, which means some nice picture opportunities. Sienna is stopping by this weekend for a shoot and I got some nice spots picked out. I spoted this flower right outside the door and the lighting was just right. Pretty cool colors and blur huh?

Ritz-Carlton Dana Point

I spent the day shooting Kris and Susy on Susy's 30th Birthday (Happy Birthday!!) getaway at the Ritz in Dana Point. I'll post some pics of the couple very shortly and this other couple I met there Steve and Martina (once I get permission). But these are some details I caught throughout the day.
