Super swanky Private Clubs called me to shoot a California road trip story.  Pretty fun indeed.  I was unaware of this publication as its not on the newsstand, but rather subscriber direct.  You can find out all about Private clubs at www.privateclubs.com

Came across some of my work from one hope this past week.  Always cool to see the images in a finished piece.  This was a fun shoot.  Lots of interesting perspective on the business of wine.  One cool thing about being a photographer, each project is always a bit different than the previous!  Keep its interesting.  You can find out all about one hope at www.onehopewines.com

Always fun to find images in use!  This shoot happened so long ago, just when I was getting into shooting kids.  Cute kids, smart styling and consistant tone and stye keeps your photography relevant for years!  These kids are all grown up now! Thanks guys for sending me this image!

Here are some quick ones of the Nelm kids getting very wet and sandy! If you want a session like this, email me! jay@jayreilly.com

Looking forward to this wedding!  Michelle and Patrick are neighbor friends so I think I might see some familiar faces at the wedding.  This was the first engagement shoot that I was entertained by acoustic guitar, which was very nice.

I had the pleasure of co-hosting an event with my good friend Lisa Kennedy at Landmark Events. The event was at the very cool Ballpark Loft downtown San Diego.  Some of the others involved in the event were One Hope Wines, artist, Mike Newton, 410 Degrees, SoCal Ice, Plush Lounge, Blush Botanicals, Soar Sushi and Xceptional Music.

Hi Everyone,

a few out-takes from the san diego mag shoot.

tips for shooting from a helicopter:
1.  don’t eat a big lunch
2.  minimize composing images though the viewfinder
3.  have a shot list and plan of attack for a flight path
4.  dress warm
5.  buckle in
6.  as you climb, have read the altimeter to you can give the pilot altitude direction when your shooting – most of my shots were 100-500 feet, and now i know just about exactly where to be to communicate it

have fun!

if anyone wants to go on a helicopter shoot, we can share the cost;-)
