Perfect trio of:
1. Looking at parent as to say, “Look what I found.”
2. Touching what he found
3. Looking at parent as to say, “Ha! I touched it and it was cool!”
Holland America’s incredibly comfortable Westerdam ship and crew took us to places in Southern Alaska where there are often no roads – just lots of bald eagles and other wildlife, melting glaciers, Russian heritage…and the ever-present diamond jewelry retail shops. Some of our favorite stops were the Alaska Raptor Center in Sitka, the Misty Fjords wilderness area outside Ketchikan, a Native American longhouse in Juneau, and the Russian Orthodox Church in Sitka. Enjoy!

Amazingly beautiful pics!
My most favorite subject: my son. His favorite pastime: food. There is only one question: who is going to do the laundry?

The middle pic has his mama’s face all over it! Adorable!
The Royal Suite at the Kensington Park Hotel is such a wonderful place for a bride getting ready. The decor is purely San Francisco in a very funky way – blue walls with lot of details, stucco, chandeliers and zebra print carpet… Needless to say, while the over-marketed “photojournalism” principles have their own place on the wedding day, I LOVE to approach a wedding photography coverage more like a series of portrait sessions instead…preferably with plenty of time on the front end. For me, it is really all about the couple. And it is purely awesome to work with a couple so radiant with love! I am so grateful I could have been there in person after I broke my foot a week prior! Thanks to my second shooter Scott who helped make sure the coverage was complete.
Congratulations to the couple — it was truly my pleasure to share such a lovely day and many beautiful moments with you and your families!

[...] which is located at Union Square in San Francisco, CA. To see his set, please head over to his blog and check out his post. He’s got some fantastic images on there. Originally I was slated [...]
As I continue my never-ending search for non-traditional light-shaping tools and devices that will light the scene in new creative ways, my son threw this one [quite literally!] into my face :> – his toy turtle has these tiny star-shaped opening in its shell and a bulb inside to create an illusion of a night sky inside your home… We just put it upside down as we played and voila!
Yes, the images are little grainy and not exactly studio-lit, but keep in mind these were taken at ISO 10,000 ( like this could’ve been possible in film days, right?) in pretty much complete darkness…I love technology!
