With the way this engagement session went I can’t wait to shoot their wedding this fall. Tyler and Ashley just have it! Fun, the looks, photogenic and up for anything. What a great time we had. Just too bad it was freezing by the time we got to the beach but we still managed to pull a few great shots off there too.

Matt is another firefighter I worked with and loved his idea of starting off this session at the LAFD museum at old 27′s . They’re wedding will be of the 40′s era so we headed downtown to union station to stay with the theme. If you have been to or heard about firefighters weddings as a photographer I know I’ll have to be on my toes. Going to be a fun one.

Just a follow up on my last post on our trip to the Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles. This is an incredible ministry going on down there. Taking care of those that truly desire to get their life back on track. Tim Campbell from our church is the director down there and I don’t think I’ve met a harder working man with such a heart for what he is doing. He has been putting in 15+ hour days down there right now and always has a smile on his face. Here are just a few photos from our trip.

Today I have the opportunity to tag along with others from Crossroads Community Church to the Los Angeles Union Rescue Mission. They’ll be manning the Christmas store and later this evening serving a meal. A few weeks ago God put it on my heart to share my gifts and talents. I was not sure what they needed in ways of a photographer but thought it might be a great opportunity to serve if not for anything else but documenting the event. Well, when I approached Pastor Todd he told me that was one of the last things on their list they were looking for and here I stand ready to serve. If we don’t give some of our gifts and talents back to the one who gave them to us then we aren’t fully using them. What gifts has he given you?
Check back in a few days for photos of the day.
Enjoy THE season.

What was supposed to be a trash the dress turned out to be a really cool after bridal. You see, these two have to be one of the most fun, easy going couples I have shot. From the cool E-Session to their wedding they have always had such a warm, genuine smile and attitude. We tried and tried to work out our schedules (they live a few hours away now) to get to the beach to do a trash the dress. Jennifer was even ready to do it mid winter but we decided to wait till things warmed up a bit. Only to find ourselves in the midst of a wind storm the day we all went to shoot. This turned the beach into a cold, sand storm so we changed locations go some amazing images and ended it with some of the best Thai food you could find in town.

Lately my shooting time has been filled with a wide range of jobs and projects and this shoot was no exception. I jumped at the chance when our friends Josh and Jill asked if I would take their family photos. How do you pass up triplets. Last year Josh and Jill were blessed to have a friends family member volunteer to be a surrogate mother for them. Low and behold they were going to end up with twins when one decided to split giving them three beautiful baby boys. What an amazing story of how God and people bless our lives. From the mother who selflessly gave of herself (and still helps out) so that this family could grow to God’s provision of their children, safety, health and I sometimes think sense of humor by adding in one extra for good measure. It was a joy to photograph this family and only hope to do so more in the following years.

Here’s just a taste from my trip out to the Saline Valley situated in an undisclosed part of Death Valley National Park. I’ll try to put up some more from this trip but you’ll most likely see them on my FB real soon.
Enjoy,

Just a preview of things to come. What a fun shoot to do. Not to mention a once in a lifetime to capture triplets. Check back soon for the full post.
Enjoy
