The Little One's First Photo Shoot

Krista’s niece came by the other day for a portrait session. There is nothing like being a week old and already starting to model for the camera. Krista’s cousin Ashley brought Isabelle by to get some pictures for a mailing letters to let the family know when she was born. I just decided to take some pictures while Krista was setting up.

Photo Kick Boxing

There was nobody left working in the lab last night after about 8p.m., so Grace and Kristen decide to work up a little sweet with practicing for there kick boxing class. After they traded off several punches and kicks, they showed me a work out move that they’ve been doing in class. It was a crunch where you have to pull your legs up to your body and lift your back up at the same time. As we where all on the floor try this Greg happens to walk in to the department. I guess it looked a bit funny, the three of us lying on the floor doing crunches together, because he immediately started laughing. Later after Greg left Rob came over and had some fun watching us and participating a little to.

Mike’s Wedding

Well it was a great day for a Wedding. It would have also been night if I got to see the ceremony, but Grace, Randy and myself where about 5 minutes too late. Well, Ron was there video taping it so I’ll be able to see it once he has a chance to edit it, plus Yvette and Roman where the taking pictures. The Reception afterwards was nice. It was in the backyard area of the Madison’s Restaurant in Laguna. They have some great salads and a cozy atmosphere. Although I did find out while editing my photos that the background could be a little busy with all the nick-knacks for sale, it really isn’t that bad while your there.

Congratulations to the bride and groom. May you have a long and happy marriage.

Shore House Night

It was another fun Shore House night. There was a lot of talking and good food to be had by all that night. Clayton had ordered some sort of monster burger, so I thought it would be funny to get a picture of him trying to eat it. Although whenever I tried to take a picture of him, he would quickly take a bite every time I tried to get a shot. It was a fun challenge but he finally let me get a good shot. Later our conversation went to a recent court case in the California Supreme Court. Chris brought up the question of should someone that is pregnant be considered temporarily disabled in California and collect money from the state for it. In the end, it seemed that we all agreed on the outcome, but with everyone’s different point of view on the subject we were keep the heated discussion up for about an extra hour or so. When it was finally all over, like good friends, we stayed that way.

Best shot of the night

A Chorus Line

Last night I was allowed to take pictures of the full dress rehearsal of A Chorus Line. I was in the very back of the theater by the control booth with my 70-200mm lens and a monopod all the time wishing for the new Canon 5D Mark II with the higher ISO range. The show is looking good, I’m not sure if I was having problems following the story because I was busy shooting, but it seemed to me to have an abrupt ending. I do recommend going to see the show. It opens Friday October 10 and runs on the 11, 17 and 18 at 8 p.m.
