Rachel and Sam "Engagement Shots"

The day of my sister's graduation party, one of my best friends Rachel wanted to swing by a bit early so I can take a few shots of her and Sam. Due to unforeseen circumstances on their way down to San Diego...we were only left with about 5 to 10 minutes to try and grab some shots...so we had to "run and gun"...here is a sampler of what I came up with.

Katherine's Grad Party!

We had a huge graduation bash for my sister a couple weeks ago to celebrate her graduation from Le Cordeon Bleu Culinary school in Paris...here are a handful of photos from the event (in no particular order...)

Evening in Coronado with Nicole and Chloe

With all this hot weather we did a last minute run down to Coronado to escape the heat, let Chloe run around and of course try and get some rad beach photos around sunset...here is a glimpse of our trip.

Dinner photos from the other night.

Nicole and I decided to cook up these 2 Filet Mignons that we had in the freezer for a month or so...I definitely didn't want to mess it up so the pressure was on but they ended up coming out great! Here are a couple shots of our impromptu fine dining experience.

Photos from Paris and Rome!

I had a absolute blast taking pictures in Europe a few months back so I wanted to share a handful of my favorites...enjoy

First Post!

Hey all...if you have made it far enough to be reading this then I guess I will welcome you to my brand new photo blog. I am planning on launching my real website in a month or so but got tired of waiting so decided to get this up and running now so I can start to give you all a peek into my day to day photo related activities.

For now, since this is sorta a "test run" / post I will leave you with a shot I took from the trip that my girlfriend Nicole and I took when visiting my sister Katherine in Paris...
