I have known Erin for a long time. In fact, I have been on 3 different continents (Albania, Thailand, and all over the USA) with her and her family. I do a lot of work with Full Sail Ministries which is staffed almost entirely by the Ludlow family. She is currently a senior at El Diamante High School. It makes me feel old to be shooting her senior portraits already (no worries! I’m not even 30 yet!), but I was very excited to have the chance.
The following images were shot in Yokohl Valley. This was also one of the first times I got to use my new mobile lighting kit, two strobes, stands, softbox, gels, radio triggers, and lots of other trinkets, that all fit into one back pack… pretty cool!

Enjoy!

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a vacationing Canadian couple, I asked Michelle for a little tidbit about them so I could blog more accurately, the following is what she sent me:
We have been married five years and dated for five years before that, and we’ve enjoyed every bit of it. We’re both from Ontario, Canada. I (Michelle) teach high school English and Norm is the product manager of Springfree Trampoline, a company which makes safe trampolines without springs. We love to see new places together, and we’ve been on trips to Mexico, the Caribbean, China, Italy, Florida, and now the Southwest U.S in August 2010. We had a fantastic time on our road trip exploring the Utah parks, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park, and Sequoia National Park. We were going to get photos taken for our fifth anniversary in June, but when our initial photographer didn’t work out, we thought, since we were taking this trip in August, why not wait until then and have the Giant Sequoia trees as a backdrop? We hope to continue to make wonderful memories together.
-Norm and Michelle O’Hara
I have been wanting to get up to the mountains for awhile now, and you know how it is… even though its only a 1.5 hour drive from Visalia, just couldn’t find the time… So thank you Norm and Michelle for giving me the chance to get up there! My favorite part of the whole thing was the “shock and awe” that they experienced when they first saw the Giant Sequoias. Consequently they spent a lot of time looking up , so I decided to play of of this theme. Sit back and enjoy some samples from there “vacatiportraits”.
For you scouting photographers/tourists out there here is where all this was shot:
Sequoia National Park, Crescent Meadow, Morro Rock, Tunnel Log, and Parker Group.
Thanks for the referral Kevin!

Great job on the photographs, looks like you were hanging out with them for quite a bit of the day. I'm glad that you were able to help them since I was booked out of town that week.

Good Tuesday to everyone, I’m still up burning the midnight oil to finish up Shelby’s Senior portraits. It was pretty hard for me to pick which ones to share, we took a pretty wide sweeping set of pictures covering lots of styles. She was a very quirky, artistic young lady, and quite a talented photographer herself! You can check out some of her work here and here. Shelby at one point attended Central Valley Christian, but then transferred to Golden West High School, where she is a soon to be graduating senior! My favorite part of her shoot was rolling around in her jeep at sunset, brought back lots of fond memories.
To see the whole set, go here (your going to have to ask her for the password though)
I actually met the Griffin’s while photographing their house for the December 2010 issue of Lifestyle Magazine.
Enjoy!

Great post! Please continue!

One Day Without Shoes is the day we spread awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on a child’s life. On April 8th, 1/4 million people went a day, part of the day or even just a few minutes, barefoot, to experience a life without shoes first-hand, and inspire others at the same time. We set up a photo booth at the 210 Cafe in Visalia to help do our part to share the love. Drop it MODERN© graciously donated a pair of back drops for everyone to play with. Enjoy!

My neighbors daughter was in town yesterday, and she needed some photos for Hazel’s first birthday party invitation. Happy Birthday Hazel! She’s kind of ridiculous cute isn’t she =)
I had a little bunny rabbit bouncy toy rudder banded to my lens, it didn’t take her long to to get a hold of it =)
