Lodi Grape Festival photo contest winner

I won the contest and my photo is on the cover of the Lodi Grape Festival pullout.

Inside it has my name for the "cover photo" and a page with ten other photos (three of which are mine) inside the pullout.

I'm so excited I won. I plan to attend the festival on Sunday so I'll post some photos on my other blog. Also to come are Disneyland photos, which will be posted on both blogs.

Senior portraits: Page

I shot some senior portraits today at the lake during sunset.

And next to the tree.

I made my brother (who was helping with the lighting) make her laugh, while staring off in the distance.

Just thought this was a little cute with the sun setting and the shot didn't get enough light so I chose to change it up.

And we ended with some hair slinging fun.

Engagement test shoot

I went out to the lake with my brother and his girl to do some test shots of some of engagements ideals I've had and seen.

I thought about shooting during sunset at the lake after a evening bike ride near the nature trail at the lake.

This one (on top) was taken in the back of the lake the sun had set. I loved to addition of the long-grass stuff right behind the couple.
