2010 season almost at an end

Realizing that I haven't posted in almost a year, oy!, I figured I'd do a blog about the past year that I've missed.
This year had some really great moments. I've seen some trends come through the wood works, learned some things and have had a blast. This coming year I'll be focusing more on weddings and photojournalism although that's not to say I won't be doing portraits. Its what I love and am good at.
This coming year I'll be more focused on getting real solid story telling images. I want to offer my clients something they can't just get anywhere. I want to create a beautiful hybrid between portraits and photojournalism. Talking with a lot of photographers, they see these things as two separate ideas, but if you think about it, what is a portrait? Its a connection between the subject and the camera. It's documenting who that person(s) is/are at that moment in time. 2011 will focus on that. I'm going to bring my roots back into this and with hope, people will love and appreciate it.
Here are some highlights from this year (minus a few weddings I've shot recently due to my contracts)

Maria and Vanessa

Looks like I'm a bit behind in my blogging. Its been a busy last couple of months. I've done a couple shoots between November and now. One of the last shoots I did was with a friend of mine and her fiance, Vanessa. We started our shoot near the Argonaut hotel in San Francisco. SF has to be one of my more favorite places to shoot. We finished our shoot in an hour and within that time we were able to get a variety of images and backgrounds. Luckily my very amazing boyfriend was there to help lug my equipment, leaving my hands and mind free to work their magic.

I was really happy with the way the beach images came out. My favorite is working with mixed lighting situations. I love a good challenge and it gives me opportunity to show of my flash skills.
