Love&Yoga

Lately, I've gotten many e-mails (thanks Mom!) about my website Love&Photo -I've been re-vamping it and gearing up for "wedding season"! So thank you all who have emailed me your compliments and tips :) It's been helpful. And one thing I've heard a few times is that my galleries need more photos. So today I've been looking thru my old photos for possible candidates that make the cut and I came across the photo above. I have been published in 944 magazine many times when I worked for them and it's never lost it's excitement for me! Seeing your photos in a glossy magazine is major as a photographer! And I've also been published internationally twice, and believe it or not one was a COVER! Once I sold a photo of Britney Spears (she was at a club I was at in Newport beach-don't ask!) to a tabloid in Australia. And then the cover was this photo of a thai yoga teacher named Gabriel. It was featured on a Thai health/yoga magazine. This photo shoot was so fun because he was really flexible and down for anything! He was based out of Scottsdale, so we shot this at the Civic Center and sent it on over to the Thai publication. I was e-mailed over the cover with all the text, but I'd have to dig thru my gmail archive to find it. So random. So priceless.

did you take one less artsy?

Today was a rather trying day to be a photographer. I began the (way too early) morning from my b-berry buzzing with an email from a scottsdale mom whose family I did a portrait of- she asked me to photoshop one particular photo for a 16x20 for their home. She said there was a "shadow" near her waist making it look larger(isnt that what we all say). After liquifying a dress size off her, I sent off the final image large enough to print. Then I receive an email saying she liked it better the "natural" raw way. So not-scottsdale. Whatever. Then I get to work by 8:15am @ Squaw Valley where it's a sizzling 24 degrees and rush out to take the ski school photos. After snapping this one of this kid with awesome goggles(an my Hithcock-esque appearance), my manager said " I hope you got one of this kid that's less artsy. " Ouch.

After a long day of work it was nice to relax with friends for a taco night! Also, I broke even for the poker game too :)

Happy friday everyone!
