Some more random San Diego shots...

Congratulations to Brandon and Candice !!!

Congrats you two! What an honor to spend some time with you this past Sunday! What a beautiful day and fun time we had down on Coronado! I can't wait to see what you put together for your wedding...

For my readers: Candice was one of my very first black/white portrait shoots... how long ago? About 7 years ago? (Does that sound right?! Can it be?! The time flew by so fast!) We went out to La Jolla and took pictures by the Cove ... and however many years later she called back for some very important pictures! Thanks for the opportunity you two!

You've both got great smiles! And you made me laugh a lot...

One of my favorite views in San Diego...

I just love hanging out near the Coronado Ferry Landing Marketplace. I mean, who wouldn't, with these beautiful sights to behold?! Sometimes I spend time w/ family here - sometimes I take pics of other families here - sometimes I just show up to hang out on my own, all by myself.

Sitting in the park...

Today I was sitting in the park... waiting for the next activity, enjoying the sights and taking in the noises. And it occurred to me... me and the grass are sitting in the shade of this gorgeous tree. Where's my camera?!

Erika and Justin

I'd like to introduce Erika and Justin... brother and sister. Erika called me to do some last minute pictures before her brother goes on a road trip... one of those road trips that may turn into weeks or months, in her opinion. They've been promising Mom some updated photos - and now time was of the essence. I had never met either of these two - so waiting for them in the parking lot was kind of like a blind date! ;-)

And when I met them and saw their colorful personalities I decided that a park like setting wasn't going to cut it today. We took a few pictures here and there at the beautiful Kit Carson Park. And then we ventured underground... or under a bridge, that is. I wanted a more urban feel - and so that's what we did. But I hadn't had enough yet... so we drove downtown to do some shots in between buildings and in some rougher looking spots...

We had so much fun! Erika had a hard time getting in / out of my SUV in that dress... but Justin really enjoyed himself and his sunglasses. He'd never admit it - but he likes posing for pics. And Erika? Well, she admitted right off the bat she's very uncomfortable in the front of the camera. So, we worked with it. Could you tell she's uncomfortable?! Nope - she sure warmed up!

And I have a feeling, Mom's going to be very happy with these pics!

Now, what's up with the images that look like they're from the late 1960's?! I know you're dying to ask... well, I threw these images into a "time lapse" machine, and turned back the clock. Fun, eh?! Wanted to play w/ something new ...

Kite surfing in Carlsbad, Ca

I remember it as a very windy day ... I was out doing some family shots and this was happening in the background. Forget the family... I'm going for the action shots!

Under the bridge...

I don't hang out under bridges too much... but when I do I still have my camera with me.

A shout out to Escondido... who lovingly goes by the shortened name of "Esco" to several in the 'hood.
