Sometimes you have to sacrafice your ego (and a piece of equipment) for a great shot!

Last night I got to work with Crystal and Randy on their engagement photos. They were very good sports about the mosquitoes in the area and hiking through the weeds. There were even kind to me when I slipped and fell trying to get down to a creek for a place to shoot. One broken flash unit and a bruised ego later we got a great shot, below. I think it was worth the slip!

Retro Looks and Little Boys

Today I went down town to have a little fun with Sarah and her beautiful retro look. We shot around the Cascade Theatre and Lorenz Hotel area. She has beautiful features that fit the look well. And since we were having so much fun shooting, we lost track of time so Sarah had to go to her dinner date in her full retro look!
I met Sarah through her good friend Ashley, our Trash the Dress Winter Edition bride. Ashley came along with us and brought her son Jarrett. Jarrett was so excited to be down town near the railroad tracks. He kept asking over and over when we could go see the trains. We finally relented and headed to the railway crossing. Lucky for Jarrett there were two engines parked on the tracks for him to explore. I couldn't resist taking a few shots of Jarrett, his mom, and his favorite engines!

PPNV Booth at the CVHS Easter Festival


Today I had the opportunity to work for a great cause. The Central Valley High School Friday Night Live Club hosted an Easter festival in Shasta Lake City. My fellow PPNVers (Professional Photographers of the North Valley) Katrina and Michael helped me with the Easter Bunny booth. We shot photos of local children with the Easter Bunny for charity to benefit the high school drug awareness program. We met many people in the community and had a great time working for a great cause.
