Helen & Lars Wedding on August 31, 2008

Sunday afternoon I drove up to Willow Heights Mansion in Morgan Hill.
The place is beautiful! it has an amazing view of the valley, and the mansion is a piece of art.
It was a sunny day and I was lucky to have my assistant with me to help me with light control.
I have to tell you, the ceremony was very short, less then 10 minutes and boom the couple was married :) that was fast :) of course I got all the important shots... so I was happy.
then we had about an hour of shooting with the couple and I loved it, I got some amazing shots for them!
Well, I should say no more, here are my favorites. Enjoy!

Faces of Operation Smile

Hi all,

I'm a member of the PPA - Professional Photographers of America.
PPA is promoting a very important Charity here is more information from the PPA BLOG:
Take a look at the smiles that are created when you participate in Family Portrait Month. When you participate in Family Portrait Month, you help PPA Charities raise funds for Operation Smile, allowing them to continue their work with children around the world.

Since 1982, more than 115,000 children and young adults have been treated by thousands of volunteers worldwide and thousands of healthcare professionals have been trained globally. For as little as $240 Operation Smile can change a child's life by giving the gift of a surgery. Revenue in excess of surgical costs is invested into our sustainability programs, empowering our partner countries to treat more children on their own and making your investment go even farther. In as little as 45 minutes, one cleft lip surgery can change a child's life forever.

San Jose Studio shoot on August 23, 2008.

We started the day early and we got 4 models and 3 photographers to collaborate in the San Jose studio by S.F. Bay Studios.
I love working with models, since they want to get the perfect shot, they would do a lot to make it happen.
We moved old pepsi machine, we took some models outside to the hot weather, then we got them under some cold water... Wow what a day... :)
I had a lot of fun working with all the models, here are my favorite shots from that day.

Today's studio session with Bernadett Otterbein

Today I had the privilege to work with a very talented marshal art's instructor, Bernadett Otterbein.
I have to tell you I was impressed with the flexibility she demonstrated. That was so amazing that at the beginning I could not really shoot since I was overwhelmed. I had to get myself together and begin shooting, and boy, I got some amazing shots!
Bernadett is so great to work with. She wants to keep getting better and better poses for her portfolio, and she is very hard on herself with the demands she has.
Here are two of my favorites shots from today:

Alisa photo shoot

Yesterday I met Alisa, a 13 years old model, at the Crossroads cafe in San Francisco.
We went to the piers and took some shots for her. Alisa has a natural attitude in-front of the camera. We tried many locations and I got ton of great shots for her.
Here are my favorites ... enjoy.
