Today I got to take family portraits of my good friend Rod Santiano and his family. Rod is a Director of Photography. He has had a film in the Sundance film festival, “New York Doll” not to mention he just finished shooting a film with Billy Joel. So I was real nervous getting ready for this shoot. It was kinda fun having him as a client.
Boys will be boys. Their sons’ Indiana, R2, and Rocket had me in stitches all day. Gavin also had a blast playing with them after we finished.





This is Chance He is a 10 year old American Eskimo who came over to my studio for a fun little shoot. He wanted to create a nice christmas present for his mommy. she is getting a big canvas print this year under the tree. I think he is one Smart Dog. who knows what your pet wants to get you this year.
I am very excited about this I was thinking of a great way to meet all my neighbors and have my friends over for a great christmas treat. December 5th 9-2 Santa will be is San Juan Capistrano at the Harbor lane pool area. 50% of proceeds go to charity. bring your family, pets and friends.

Yesterday I had the priveledge of being a part of this wedding in San Diego.
I had a blast photographing this family at Cresent Bay in Laguna Beach, with a large family comes the challenge of making everyone look great. 
I’m a sucker for Halloween. I like all the makeup and gore that goes with it. This was a photo shoot I did 4 years ago. I wanted to repost it just for the heck of it. I was the photographer and this was my friend Gian.
This was the second year Gavin went for Halloween. Last year, he was 2 months old and he did not understand much. This year he had a lot more fun. He was a little firefighter. He loves playing with jack-o -lanterns and loved his costume.
I love being out in nature. Landscape photography is one of the ways I express myself when I shoot my fine art photography. One thing I enjoy a lot is road trips with my family.
Some times I like to pretend that when I am out I am the only person who has seen what I am shooting.
So the last week was a rad week. This is a quick list of what I did in the last five days:
1. I shot a wedding in Laguna Beach at the Surf and Sand Resort, State Beach in San Clemente, and the Holiday Inn. It was the same wedding, multipale locations. It was a very elaborate wedding the brides mom was a wedding coordinator , so it had everything a bride could ask for.
2. I took My Wife and son to the Dana Point Harbor for a walk on the beach, and to take some pictures. As the sun was setting. I looked at the moon and took some pictures. They are by far the best moon pics I have ever taken.

3. This is the Harris family. I took their portrait in San Juan Capistrano at the old red barn. The kids had a blast.

4. I built a set for my friend Quang Le. He shot a band called Hyper Crush. This shoot took 10 hours to set up. I hung lights from the rafters in the studio and used some crazy clear tubes hanging all over the place. It was crazy! It was for an editorial in Nylon Magazine. Unfortunately, I cannot post any of the photos, but you can check them out in the upcoming issue of Nylon Magazine
5. I am updating my web site and putting up better pictures. I have not done this in years and do not feel like it currently reflects my photography style. In the past I put up pictures that had sentimental value for me rather than my best works of art.
6. This week I am planning a photo shoot with Santa Claus! It will be in San Juan. It will be $15 for an 8×10 print and 50% of this project will go to a Christmas charity.
7. Tomorrow, my new photogenic lights come in the mail.
