New Years in New York

I can't believe I waited until I was nearly 30 to travel to New York. That being said, I did it right. I went for eight days and traveled/stayed with people that have lived their for years. I think I saw/ate just about everything I wanted and managed to witness one of the greatest snow storms New York has ever seen. Needless to say, there is a lot of pictures to go through :) To speed up my process, I'll just be uploading to my website... keep checking back as I will be adding more over the next week or so (I'm through Day 1 - and a couple extras here and there)

Miss Jayla

Miss Jayla decided that she didn't like the idea of studio photographers this year ... soooooo I made a house call and caught her in her comfort zone (for a short bit at least)...

Keating-Tufo Engagement Photos

Had a blast cruising around the City with Veronica and Danny, getting to know them, and experimenting with my first official engagement shoot. I think it was a good pairing between their personalities and my style...

Santa says...

Santa Barbara International Marathon Relay

Had an incredibly fun weekend down in Santa Barbara with some good friends (and some new ones). Had a chance to snap some photos amongst the craziness and running (obviously not the focus). Thought I would post just a few...

GO TFC!!!

My own personal celebratory moment...

Thought I would throw this one out there too...

Self Portrait Test #1

Added one more (from the same shoot) ...

It's Friday night ... wrappin up a nice bottle of cab to myself ... got a lot on the mind lately ... what better time to start experimenting with portraiture? Self-portrait test #1...

Wildflower Triathlon

Well, I finally decided to return to Wildflower, but as a racer this time instead of as a volunteer. This is really an awesome event, considered the Woodstock of tris. It was my first tri and let me say it was not an easy task. A lot of fun though, good friends, camping, and a little good-spirited competition...
