after years of hardwork, shenna is graduating from san francisco state university this spring with a degree in business. a proud member of kappa psi epsilon, she made sure to bring her letters and paddle to baker beach for her senior photos.
congratulations, shen! you did it!

as promised... more photos from john's workshop! woohoo!!! these images are pretty special to me because they are in a form called HDR (high dynamic range) images. they take a little bit more time to process but the results are something you don't normally see in wedding images.

yippeeee!!!! first wedding of the year and it was awesome! jennifer and rodney pledged their vows at beautiful saint patrick's catholic church in the presence of their loved ones, many of whom had traveled a long distance from their home state of new york. this adorable couple met in college and had since relocated to the bay area and decided to be wed in, what better destination to treat their guests than, san francisco. they even chartered a trolley car to transport their guests to their reception at hotel nikko, where we enjoyed a gorgeous view of the city at the 25th floor.
before heading to their reception, the bridal party and the newlyweds headed across the street to yerba buena gardens for some group photos. we started at the mlk jr. memorial waterfall with the entire group and afterwards, had the opportunity to photograph just the bride and groom around the property, all the while dodging the security. seems like there were a couple of guards who "didn't see us" just to allow the happy couple an opportunity to take their wedding day photos. =)
congratulations, jennifer & rodney! may you and your families share many more happy occasions to celebrate in the great city of sf!

so, in order for me to REALLY experience hawaii, i decided to camp out in MALAEKAHANA CAMPGROUNDS. why? because i want to experience the real hawaii, not just go to to the island and stay in a swanky hotel. plus, i'm sleeping beach side and i get to wake up to an awesome sunrise everyday. booyah!!!

john is the man. honestly, if you want to learn how to shoot well in all lighting situations, he is the man to learn it from.

eddie often likes to take "unflattering photos" of friends and family, which includes me, of course. he says he does this because he learns how "not to shoot," which teaches him best how to shoot, kinda like the show, "what not to wear!" ("go stacy & clinton!") there have been times i've seen blog entries online only to yell at him, "you are not putting that up! take it down NOW!!!" sometimes he listens, sometimes he doesn't =) here's my chance for revenge!
i've been wanting to do this for awhile now. after several get-togethers and events with other photographers, there have been some photos of eddie that i've been wanting to blog about. now that he's on oahu (lucky buster!) for jonathan canlas' "film is not dead"workshop and has scant internet access this week, here's my chance. (cue evil laughter) bwahahahah!!! mwahahahaha!!!
here are the many faces of my dear hubby...
