Jabberworck Drama- Special Event

A couple years ago I worked at a private school part-time assisting a kindergarten class. During my time there staff soon found out about my photography work that I did when I wasn't teaching. After I decided to commit full-time to photography and leave the school I've been invited many times to take photos of the 8th graders, or do family portraits and to recently get theatrical stills for the drama class. I liked how I was able to incorporate portraits and candids throughout the session.

Golf Tournament- Special Event

I've never witnessed a golf tournament live or driven a golf cart...live, but I got to do both when I photographed a fundraiser at Moorpark Country Club for the Shepherd of the Hills Golf Tournament. It was a fun morning. It almost felt like I was covering an assignment for a newspaper again. The best was exploring the course with a golf cart on a beautiful day. Plus, the sports ministry at Shepherd of the Hills raised a good amount of money to grow the ministry and for scholarship funds. A lot of supporters came out including world-renown athlete, Bruce Jenner. Thank you to Danny from Epic Imagery for the invitation to come out! :)

Staff Retreat- Special Event

The non-profit, YPI, that I teach photography with invited me to photograph their 1st staff retreat held at Camp Hess Kramer in Malibu. Their morning included a full itinerary of team-building and physical activities like rock climbing and high rope courses hosted by Fulcrum Adventures. I was tempted many times to ask one of them to harness me so I can climb up and try it myself. In my head it seemed like a good idea, but who knows if I would've really done it. :)

Save The Date- Photographer Shootout

For this event we'll be meeting at Paramount Ranch commonly known as the "movie ranch" since many Hollywood T.V. shows/movies were filmed there. There is a Western Town there complete with a Main Street lined with typical storefronts, such with a Sheriff's office, a blacksmith/livery, a saloon, a Post Office, and barns.

Just like at the last shootout, photographers will each have models to work with as they do the challenges that will be given that day. So, invite your friends or scout for models to participate. This is your time to have fun with your creativity.

We will shoot until sundown, 7 p.m., and afterwards we'll be heading down to my place to upload photos and prepare the slideshow to be displayed at the end of the night. We'll also be ordering food so you can kick it there. Please bring a laptop if you have one to speed the uploading time for the slideshow.

Remember, anyone is welcome, professional photographer or not. Hopefully, we'll have enough models so that those who couldn't take photos before can take photos at this event.

Anyone interested to do the videography during the shootout?

Best of 2008- Client Photos

It's been a good year, and the advantage to this blog is I can show you visually all that has kept me busy with a joyful heart. I didn't get to include every single client, but I fortunately was able to post as much as I could. For my blog followers you'll recognize a lot of the images, especially the more recent ones. Looking back this year, I'm blessed that 2008 gave me so many chances to meet fascinating individuals (some of which turned into new friendships), travel to new places, to work smarter and not harder, to overcome different projects that I feared I'd be clumsy at, and to enjoy the humble gift of sharing my photography with clients who trust me to capture their story. Enjoy! I'll be posting soon enough my favorite photos I took leisurely throughout the year. :)
