i believe the nike run has the most perks because of all the free chocolate and free dry-fit shirts and free tiffany necklaces and hot firefighters in tuxes and free organic foods and free oxygen bars and free massages... let's just say i can keep going.

monica and kristin ran a half marathon
monica and kristin ran the nike women's marathon last weekend. 13.1 total miles were traveled to officially complete a half marathon. i can't even imagine biking 13 miles, let alone, do it by foot. they truly are warriors.

adriana - geisha photoshoot
this past weekend was something special. busy... but special, none the less. i had a very good friend named adriana come over and dress up as a geisha. getting ready took over an hour but oh, man was the wait SO WORTH IT. she looked absolutely AMAZING in her outfit.
we've been planning this for several month and the wait is finally over. i hope you enjoy adriana's pics as much as i do. thanks adriana!

jen and tracy
i had a couple of photoshoots today, trying out new techniques with lighting... it was great that jen and her sister tracy were able to help me by acting as my models. before we started the day, monica decided to go with us rather than write her paper that's due this monday. but it's okay because i promised her that i would study with her tonight and the WHOLE DAY tomorrow.
here's a sample:

trina's quinceanera
i was digging through my files and thought this would be a nice addition to my blog. these images were taken a couple months back on july 15th (my birthday). yes, i went out and shot an event with carl on my birthday. this goes to say that i'm not a work-a-holic, i just LOVE photography that much.
i work hard and play hard, too. at least i'd like to think so. monica thinks i'm getting old, but who is she to say? she's only my wife. = )
after the quinceanera, my close group of friends and co-workers headed out to the great sushi house located in alameda. yes, i'm a HUGE fan of sushi. give me twix and sushi to make ed happy, just don't count on me eating both at the same time... ewww, gross (or is it?)

engagement - april and phil
April and Phil, despite their individual accomplishments and their serious occupations, are totally opposite type of people in person. A really warm, funny, and quirky couple they are which really made my job easy =) We had shot their e-session at Bay Street in Emeryville. They are gorgeous, fun, and very easy-going. It’s almost impossible to take a bad picture of them! So touching to see their expressions and emotions and for some reason, through my camera, i can totally feel it. They just can’t get enough of each other. It’s a natural high. Congrats to you, April and Phil!

engagement - neil and nette
these pictures below are of a couple monica and i recently shot. the weather was a tad cold for outdoor photos but they were soldiers! the intimate engagement session was held in a nearby beach in berkeley and the evening shoot followed at Bay Street shopping center located in Emeryville. Nette has this most genuinely radiant smile that affects everyone around her. They were so into each other and it was wonderful to witness their love in front of the camera.
photoshoot - meet cindy
first off, thank you cindy for being our model of the day. you did a great job.
carl, who is my "guru" in "studio lighting" built-up a sweet looking set for us to shoot in the middle of his living room. i'm going to try to remember to shoot the set so you see how much work (and equipment) is needed to get this type of photo.

engagement - alan and heidi
ahhh, another engagement session.
my views in the world really is changing now. yes, i was a "glass half empty" kind of guy before when it comes to people because of past experiences... but that was ages ago and truly, life couldn't get any better. i'm seeing that there's a lot more genuine, caring, and positive people out there in the world and it truly is a blessing to be surrounded with friends and family that love and care. honestly, without family, you have nothing.
alan and heidi is a prime example of a couple that REALLY REALLY love one another. so much in fact that they basically did all the work for me. monica and i were just there to capture it.

normarie and chris
i took normarie and chris with my wife, monica (my very talented reflector girl) to a local park in vallejo called dan foley. this park is usually busy during the weekend, but we were lucky enough to beat the rush so we can take isolated photos without people in the background. i hope they continue to love and grow with each other so their future continues to be bright.
