Jeremy and I had this idea for a shoot and then we found the perfect couple when we met Candy and Dave. Dave is the lead singer to Throwdown (awesome hardcore metal band) and is finally back from touring The Warped Tour. And Candy is a gorgeous, quiet girl with great style. And we’re on the same page, which makes everything more fun! We are all so excited that we finally get to do this shoot that we’ve been planning for so long!

This is our art project; you can interpret. It also works as great “photo-therapy” for us.

I also made a slideshow if you want to see more:

Painting with light.

In order to get ready for a shoot we have for Friday, we decided to do some testing with ourselves. Painting with light is a really fun photo technique that I first learned in High School. And we’ve been wanting to try it for awhile.

We really like how these turned out so we wanted to share!

I LOVE this one Jeremy shot of me outside our place.

He always has his eyes closed.

Jeremy and his buddies came over to get something and they asked why we had the camera all set up. He showed them and they both wanted to try it. So here they are:

Jony Bos.

Steve Bos.

Stay tuned for more adventures in painting with light!

We did a shoot for our familia (I can use that because they’re Mexicans!) with Jeremy’s cousin Amber for her senior pictures. She, like me isn’t happy with boring, posed pictures from the studio that provides them for the school. So we wanted to do something more fun. We decided to go to the The Mission Inn to find cool places. Amber was so much fun to shoot and we got some really great stuff!

Here’s some of our favorites:

Our girl is growing up!

Jeremy shot these and I thought they make an awesome collage.

Jeremy got this. So Amber!

Fun with brick:

More from Jeremy:

I heart swirly things!

And how cute are we??

Thanks for being so fun on your shoot Amber!!

Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding with super-adorable Jules Bianchi at The Beverly Hills Hotel. It’s always fun to shoot with Jules because she is such an inspiration. I always learn something from her and she’s just fun!

It was a really beautiful wedding with lovely people. Here’s a few that I like:

I was with the groom as he got ready.

Right before the first look.

I love orchids!

The cute couple:

I love how excited they all are to walk around the corner.

Beautiful flowers.

I really like this shot of this man smoking during the cocktail hour.

First dance fun.

Thanks for letting me come with you Jules!!

I know all you blog stalkers have been waiting for some Yosemite posts since our vacation last month (by the way, I heart you blog stalkers!!) and finally I have something to show you. I just sent out the Yosemite film to be developed so stay tuned for that post.

This couple isn’t really engaged but it’s close enough! They have been married for a few years. We thought it would be fun to do a session with them in a beautiful place that we all love! I couldn’t convince her to trash her beautiful dress there but there’s always next year! (C’mon Chrissy do it!!)

A few from one of my favorite places to shoot, the meadows. A mixture of mine and Jeremy’s shots (not sure who took what and I’m too lazy to look it up!)

Jeremy shot this on our way to another spot. I love, love, love it!

We saw a baby bear on our ride (good thing Jeremy had the telephoto lens on!)

Momma bear and two baby bears!

A perfect place for a little make-out session. It’s okay, they’re married.

Thanks Steve and Chrissy for the fun shoot!
