Wayne's Bowling Birthday Bash

Cruised out last night to Oceanside Surf Bowl for a night of bowling, beer & birthday cake. Honestly can't remember the last time I went bowling, but, we all had a really good time. Not one strike all night for me until my last frame, then I bowl 3 strikes in a row, go figure. Michele and I were quite familiar with the gutter by the end of the night. She just loved me taking photos of her while bowling....

Copulos Family Photos

Family photos with the Copulos Family down in La Jolla, CA. I have previously worked with the Copulos Family so they are naturals in front of my camera. Photographed Clint & Kristen's engagement photos and also photographed a Christmas event for them this past year.
La Jolla cove was an excellent location with the moody weather.

Deize & Blaise's Wedding

Deize & Blaise flew in from Texas to have their wedding at the Windmill in Carlsbad, CA. These two and their whole family definitely know how to dance and have themselves a good time. It was honestly a good time just watching the whole family get their groove on.

April, Josh & Ava Family Portraits

Family portraits of young Ava and her Mom & Dad up in Romona, CA today. Little Ava woke up from her nap at the perfect time and was ready to take some photos. Josh & April are going to have a hard time picking which ones to print. Below are a handful of photos that show a glimpse of the day. I wish I could put up more... We took some images with Josh & April's great dane "Dixie", the coolest dog. I think he wanted to be my assistant for the day.
We also did some really cool shots with a "Ava Toddler Chair", made my Jennifer Delonge. Check out the link to her site, these chairs are to cool I must say. "www.jenniferdelonge.com"
Josh is a firefighter so we thought a few shots with his gear on would look pretty cool.
Overall, another great day.

Enjoy!







Didn't take long for Ava & Curious George to crash out in her chair though..







Testimonial:

After seeing Joe’s work over the years, I was very excited to have him take photos of our new baby girl, our beloved dog and our new little family. My husband and I have been through a few other grueling photo shoots in the past and we were a little nervous - my husband hates to have his picture taken. The photo shoot went great, Joe made us feel very comfortable and had great ideas about what to incorporate into our pics, not to mention he was great with our little one! He is very easy to work with and takes the time to explain a few things about photography as he works, which is great for a couple of beginners like ourselves! He helped us with our new camera and taught us a few quick tricks to taking better photos. He delivered the photos very quickly and took the time to go over them with us. The photos are FANTASTIC, we are so pleased with his work! His photos are works of art and have so many wonderful elements to them - honesty, vulnerability, a sense of humor... every single one of them being special and memorable. We highly recommend Joe to anyone who wants to capture anything important in their lives onto a photo, he does excellent work and we plan on having him do many photos in the future. Thanks again Joe!!!
