I was excited to photograph Miss E the other night. The ‘E’ could very well stand for Energy! I had fun trying to keep up as she played, ran and skipped
across the field – sometimes even rolling down the hill, climbing up and doing it all over again. In between we literally stopped to smell the flowers.
Something we should do more often!

I’ve participated in a few Urban Ventures photography shoots (see here and here) during this past winter. When the opportunity arose to join a team of photographers documenting their annual golf tournament with proceeds benefiting the Urban Stars Athletic Club, I was definitely game (though I know
nothing of golf, I can ride in a golf cart with the best of them!). It was beautiful weather, and I had a blast as usual working with Urban Ventures.

I recently took a few classes with Steve Silverman of Steve Silverman Imaging – a studio lighting workshop and a class in photographing people outdoors.
Not only was it a great opportunity to learn new techniques, but it was also fun to work with models. They definitely know how to work it for the camera!


Trying some different processing on this one:

Before Christmas I participated in a volunteer photography shoot for Urban Ventures. You can see a few pictures from the previous shoot here. It was
such an amazing experience that I was excited to participate again. Instead of families, this time around we photographed teens at the Cristo Rey High
School. They had energy to spare – and we did manage to answer the question of how many people can you cram onto a roll of 107″ seamless, and well…
that would be…A LOT.
Here are a few photos from that day.

I was excited to shoot my first newborn. Her mama was a great model, and three weeks later, little baby E was born. She was a doll!

It was fun to photograph my cousin-in-law and her husband-to-be. They have a great connection. Congrats to the two of you!
