On location: The bigger the better.

I was fortunate enough to meet a wonderful couple a year ago. A friend suggested me to do their wedding. Young couple, they're as old as me! WHAT!? After the wedding, I started seeing them more around parties and discovering we have a lot of mutual friends. It was only right to follow through after their wedding as they took the next step of being a family. Jodine, carrying Eric's child is almost coming into this world. I want to put add a variety into my photography so this is my first time doing pregnant shots. I think I did ok. It was just a wonderful moment to see them walking along the beach, focused on what the future for them plus one. These are not all of them, but it gets a good idea what a wonderful family they'll be when Aiden comes.

All the shots were shot @ Del Mar beach. Shot with my Canon 20D with 50mm 1.4 lens. It was starting to become dark real fast because we were hoping to be clear skies. Couldn't be any more wrong. Clouds every where. We did our best. They were super cooperative as a couple and easy going. It's always good when they don't have any expectations.

I remember my first photo.

It's been a while since I have posted. I'm just disappointed in myself for not shooting every week like I told myself. Work, studying, and having fun is getting in the way. So I'm not really too bummed about it. I guess I can be an ideal practice than a goal. The funny thing, when I do shoot, it always involves alcohol. I just started noticing how much I use the word "alcohol" as a tag when organizing my photos. You can even notice the tags on the blog too... coincidence? Maybe. I think I like shooting when drinking to help remember things. Also alcohol is a great tool to get the truth. People don't fake stuff, like smiles. I HATE FAKE SMILES!!! If you don't want to smile, then don't. Plus, fake smiles are ugly. Here are some of the times when I do drink.

A good friend's Baby shower....yeah, we were drinking. Surprised? You shouldn't be.
