San-O at Sunset

I brought my camera to San Onofre last night to get some surfing pictures for Kyle's buddies. Besides getting some great shots and catching a few good waves myself (my board hit me on the head, I hope it's not a concussion), we got to see this incredible sunset. This has to be one of my new favorites of Makena. And I love the Endless Summer one she took of me.

Perfect Light

Here are a few favorites from a recent shoot back in Ventura County at one of my favorite beaches. The clouds in the sky made the sunshine soft and made me giddy: perfect conditions (not counting the wind :) ). Added to that was a beautiful, fun family. I love the playfulness of the pictures, thanks for being such good sports!

Update

Things have been a little quiet on my blog! We've been busy moving our family to San Clemente, just a few minuted from the beach. We feel like we have come home and just love it here. If we could only get all of our friends to follow.... I'm back now to doing shoots, both here in Orange County as well as in Ventura County, so stayed tuned for new photos soon. Also, my blog is undergoing a face lift, to be revealed soon. Check back often!

Happy 12th Birthday, Kai!

Kai is turning 12! Time flies. I realized I'm WAY overdue for a shoot with Kai, before he grows some more. The only recent picture I could find was this snap shot at the end of one of my sessions when it was really dark already (he came with me to handle the family's dog when he wasn't needed for the shoot). It's been a very busy, exciting 12 years. I think Kai taught me more than I could ever teach him. I love having him as my son and adventure buddy.
