congrats to melissa on the where am i contest below!  most of all that was shot within 200 yards of the mamitas beach club in playa del carmen.  send me your address and i will ship you a book!  thanks for playing!

on to new shoots... here are a few of kara hamilton at the rosewood mayakoba.  kara is an actress/model from san francisco. was invited down to mexico to shoot aurelie and brendan's fantastic rosewood mayakoba wedding which you can see at this location.  3 shoots in 3 days of mexico, glad to be back!

as a follow up to the question, how do you build a great lifestyle portfolio...i referenced books that i take with me out on a shoot.  i was using an iphoto book, but changed over to my new inkjet book.  its great because i can keep it up to date with the best/newest stuff and can custom create books for the type of person or groups i might approach.

all in all it has been really enjoyable just to be able to print and share.  thanks to all for adding their comments and tips on inkjet printing.   look for a post on how to use them for promos...i am not sure yet, but working on it!

both shots below are ideal senarios on lifestyle stuff that i stumble upon...or in the case of the fly fisherman, hunt down and shoot...long story.

was called by heffner to shoot bree.  had a fun session.  it was a first session for bree and i think she enjoyed it.  thanks to lisa for making bree look even better!

so with a new waterhousing comes new lenes.  just got the canon 28mm f1.8.  got it cause i needed those wide shots underwater and this was the right price for about $450.  it had some decent reviews and so now i own it.  i am pretty happy with it so far.  here are a few from a session with mike.

shot a story for jet set, pretty fun session.  got a chance to use the new water housing with the 1dsm2 which was nice.  speaking about locations...this is a good friends house and pool in carlsbad.  nice have friends that allow me to shoot on their property or with their toys, thanks joe! the truth is this is the first placed i lived in california way back in 1994...i rented a room in the house...nice to go back and shoot there....  tons of shots from this session but here are a few...

i have had people ask me where i find my places to shoot... I actually do very little location scouting, unless it is a very art directed session with location intention or there is a budget and producer that helps secure and plot the locations.  for the most part i have an idea and scout when shooting and just find it! 

so here is alexia's session in la jolla.  love the field...the second i saw, i was excited.

not sleeping too well so i might a well edit images.  thanks to kelsey and lisa keeping who did great job on makeup! need makeup, talk to lisa.

hi all, a session with alec musser in oceanside ca.  shot on the roof of 1010 which was kinda fun.

pretty pleased with these portraits.  thanks to nicole from jet set and lisa for some great makeup as always.  thanks to jules for helping produce.

be sure to see the behind the scenes of the session, video below, thanks!

its just nice when it all works.  ever get that feeling?  just wanted to say thanks to two companies that really have it together.  customer service has been great and i look forward to many more orders with these guys.  so i have been making new printed portfolios and it is kind of a expensive pain in the but to select the images, edit the images, print and make all of these portfolios.  but it is almost done!

WHCC for printing. these guys are just great, i can FTP and what almost seems like 2 days it comes via UPS looking perfect.

PINA ZANGARO for printed portfolios.  i had these great plans to custom make books.  when it came down to what i wanted to make, they beat me to it. 

just putting a bunch together for a rep.  get it in circulation!
