Newborn

I was lucky to have great friends that allowed me to interrupt their

first week with their first child Elijah. He is barely a week old. I wanted to keep things simple no flash just a more relaxed clean feel. I plan on working with them in taking photos through out his next year so ideas are rolling.

Stock photos

Though school has been taken a lot of time I plan on expanding. I had planned on being apart of iStock, but really haven't really followed through. So this year I plan on being apart of many stock sites and really see what comes of it. Again always excited!

New year!!!

Hey everyone, I can not even believe that it is already going to be March. What have I been doing these 2 months? I am not sure.....No I have just been busy with school. I hate to say but the photography has been outweighed on importance by school and personal life. But that will change again as we come up to spring.

This weekend I will be taking photos of a friends and their newborn baby. I am truly excited about it, and I'll post them as soon! I also have engagement photos coming up at the end of the month at the State Capital. It will be nice to get back to doing what I truly love.

I always think every year you should have a game plan or a goal you set for yourself to reach. You should always have goals in general but set one that you know you can actually do to visually see at the end of the year that accomplishment. So I had to think of what I wanted to see accomplished this year for my photography busniess. This year I plan of pay to be apart of more wedding social network, I love photographing weddings.

Now that the holidays are behind us it is not time to kick in gear and start greasing the wheels and get this thing rolling.

Western Career College San Jose 2009

Friends

Also from that day I had taken some photos of Kaylie and her best friend since kindergarten. I just took a couple shots but a couple were just really cute.

Smaller Family Portraits

Here is my second family from that day. I really enjoyed being able to have the large family and then branch off to do the smaller ones. One giant challenge we had that day but especially when taking photos in the beginning with this family is the wind in Mountain House. The wind in that town is horrible!!!!

Small Family Portraits

Now from that large family portrait session I did 2 smaller family photos. Here is one of the families. I just think the little boy was extremely cute, his smile is soooo silly.

Large Family Portraits

First off the family was really fun to shoot with, everyone was just so happy. It is always a challenge to make sure little kids are looking at you. One of my favorite photos is everyone running, it is different and the kids love when they are not having to sit in one place.

Senior Photos

I love when you take photos and the person you are photographing is so easy. It leaves you only to be inspired to want to take more and try new locations.

End of 2009

This ending of the year has been a little crazy; with school, my regular 9-5 job, the holidays and my photography I have not been able to stop and breathe until today. Since my last post there has been a wedding, senior photos, family portraits, and a graduation. Today, now having some time to stop from all hussle and bussle I want to share some photos from all that I had been doing.

Above are photos from the wedding. Great wedding love them in the fall, a friend from high school.
