If you are interested in booking your Year in the Life, check out this page with more info on how to subscribe. You can start your subscription in January to go from Jan-Dec or start it as you are expecting a new member in your family, or at the beginning of the school year!

Days may be long but years are short, so don’t let another year pass by without documenting your family’s legacy with you all in front of the camera. Just think of all the growth and memories that can live forever through professional photographs in a beautiful heirloom album to be passed on to future generations.

The Shakes & Dear Kora | Orange County Documentary Photographer

in ,

Last night I attended a small show for local bands in Lake Forest, CA. The opener was The Shakes. They were a fun alternative indie rock band that moved people to dance which I really enjoyed. And next up was Dear Kora. I loved their emotional vibe and hint of Flyleaf tone. They really captured the audience and even had a mosh pit going at the end.

In the past when I have done concert photography I have solely focused on the band but now with the documentary mindset, I found myself focusing on the fans and getting the raw emotion of the show.

I shot in RAW but I put my settings to Monochrome (Black & White) in camera, knowing that I could see them in color later when editing. While editing, I decided I liked how the majority of photos looked in Black & White and stuck with that. 

Hope you enjoy :)

Venue: Orange County DIY located at North Dwarf Records in Lake Forest, CA.

Hooray!! Brian and Emily are married!!

It was such a pleasure to go on this journey with these two. One of Emily's bridesmaids referred me to them to be their wedding photographer and we went from a consultation, to an engagement session, to their wedding day and I am so pleased with how the photographs turned out. It was a fantastic fun filled day. Amy Beth joined me again at this wedding and it was awesome!
