A Banana on a bad day...

So today I was cutting up bananas to make a little breakfast and to my surprise this is what I saw....





No joke! The bananas all had sad faces in the middle! Talk about a bad day to be a banana! Just thought I'd share that little funny piece of my day (and try out my new blogging app. from my phone!)

Roseville Press Tribune Article w/ Photos by Yours Truly

So one of my really good friends, Ryan Cordell, was voted "Athlete of the Month" for February in the Roseville Press Tribune. He's a Junior at Valley Christian Academy and plays both basketball and baseball. Anyways, once I found out he one I contacted the newspaper and let them know that I had some pictures of Ryan playing B-Ball that they could use as long as they gave me recognition.... and low and behold THEY DID!!! So not only was I super stoked and proud of Ryan, I was definitely excited to have some pictures in the paper. BIGIDDY!!! It's on the web site as well (you can follow this link to read it). So congrats to Ryan.... keep it up mayne! :)

Susan Downtown

Last week I had the privaledge of assisting a great photographer that I highly admire named Jelani Memory on a shoot that he was working on. Jelani is a photographer based out of Portland, Oregon and his work is phenomenal (be sure to follow the link & check out his website). He actually photographed my sister's wedding back in december and he asked me to help him out in this shoot when he came down to Sacramento. Anyways, I learned a lot from him that day and was eager to go out and try to use some of the techniques he shared with me.

With that said, the next day I asked my friend Susan Anderson to be a model for me and so we went downtown to do just a casual photoshoot. Susan definitely warmed up to the camera and gave some great images. BIGIDDY!!! I was pleased with the results!

Weider Wedding

So in the beginning of January I shot a wedding up in Chico, CA for a couple Jim & Michelle Weider. Here are some of my favorites from the day. I think the B&W's are my favorite. So there you have it folks!

Room Photoshoot

So I recently did a photoshoot in my sister's former room (she just got married!) which is quite large and great for photo shoots. I took a studio lighting class last semester in school and so I wanted to put it to good use and take some pics. Granted I don't have studio lights but I made do with some construction lights and a reflector... & might I say that i was extremely pleased with the results.
