Emi and I hadn’t done a session at the beach in while, so it was nice to get down to Laguna with Kelly & Brian (except Emi couldn’t go with me). Thanks to beautiful weather, we had a very relaxing time just walking around the beach. Brian was a bit nervous first, but he cruized through the session like butter on a skillet! BTW, doesn’t he look like Kevin Costner? Anyone? Lovin the dance of light and shadow in the Gazebo.

All I have to say is wow. When the light falls like this, I wish I could shoot for hours. We had a blast with Adelle & Bart, and we made some pretty sweet images
Heres a few that we liked. Pasadena is just such a cool place, and ya gotta love the variety.

This doesn’t even begin to do justice to the things we saw and the people we met while in Africa this past Month, but we’ve had so many people ask, we thought we’d give a sneak peek into out trip. Here’s a few for the blog.
