It’s so easy to think about how work keeps me busy or school takes up my nights. Jobs, school etc. It’s easy to make excuses. But excuses no more.
Recently I just did a double engagement shoot with two couple and both the girls happen to be sisters. I was lucky to do this shoot with Narrative Images based out of San Diego. More on that later.
The little things make a big difference. The little box mailed to me with the perfect handwritten note speaks volumes. It tells me that there is always time. Time to do the things we love to do. We just need to remember to do more of the things we love. This was the simple box and thank you note from Narrative Images. This year I want to find the time…for a lot of things!

Thanks Rick and B’dette for inspiring me again.

One of my favorite spots to go for a walk or relax is “Top of the World” in Laguna Beach. Which is only about a 3 minute drive from my house. The views you have up there truly give you that feeling of being at the top of the world. Snow blanketed mountains on one side and Endless oceans views on the other. Just thought I would share these views with you.

My good friend Baylea allowed me to crash in her apartment (thank you to her, and her dog in the pics!) and I made a small commute from the Beautiful down town San Diego to Del Mar for a couple of Days.

The view from her apartment is amazing, overlooking the harbor and about 7 stories up. Check it out!

As for the workshop, it was a good experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect and it was a investment that I felt I needed to make. I had hoped that by attending this would workshop it would help me learn how to grow my business and desire to possibly make photography a more invested commitment. It was put on by the well known Dane Sanders based out of OC and his team from Fast Track.

I had a great time, meet some good people, networked and most of all took in so many new and helpful resources. There is just way to much for me to explain here. Dane really takes a hold of you and the business side of photography. He makes you think of your goals as measurable instead of just a thought or vision.

Anyways, on one of the days we got to go out and do a photo session. I don’t know how I can share all of the shots just on here but I will post some. I hope you enjoy. The couple were a lot of fun to work with and really took well to the camera and were NOT shy. I hope you enjoy!

So over the past few months I have been working. Like we all do. Day by day…and really giving some thought into a direction of where I would like to head and what I want to be doing. One of those things has been to obtain my domain name (that’s geek talk for getting a website address), setting up my blog and actually posting a few things…

So for now, I hope to be posting, ranting, raving, and bringing some of my photographic work to you.

In the past six months or so since the new year I have done a lot of shooting. So many things that I have neglected to post or share. All my fault and all my responsibility. I would LOVE to share more things with you for some future dates I already have lined up, but most of all, with your permission I would also like to touch on some past events as well.

During those six months I have done photos for a couple of music venues, engagements, friend/family stuff and even an on-field photo access for the “first pitch/throwing out the ball” for an Angels game. Most importantly I have begun to second shoot for weddings. The amazing people who captured my friends wedding, Jeff and their company have taken me under their wing to allow to me work with them and develop my skills. They would be Narrative Images. Please check them out, they are amazing and so easy to work with…that goes for both me as a photographer and you as a possible client.

Yes, eventually I cant wait to take on more responsibility and start shooting my own weddings.

In the mean time I hope you follow along, bookmark me, add me to your favorites on your web browsers and let me take you into OUR world of photography captured by me. Fire Skies
