This past weekend, after getting the chance to assist Apertura with an AMAZING wedding at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena Saturday, we headed off to Palm Springs for the first time in a looong time!  Needless to say, we came away loving the small little town and it's Mid Century Mod styling throughout.

I decided to go on a visual hunt to capture the palm trees that liter the streets of small town as well as more random stuff that caught my eye...so with the beautiful blue skies...it happened to be one fun little project =)

Oh and, I had to throw in some pics of Haydn of course! =)  Happy Monday everyone!

It's been quite a while since we've last blogged but we'll be back in the game soon enough with much to show and write about!

In the mean time, Lauren managed to actually get one of our first videos of Haydn caught with one of our Canon 5D MKII's on the web soooo...for all our past clients who've been itching to meet her, here she is! =)  The video is a little old as her hair now is a little longer and she also rolls like nobody's business but that's why this is just part 1!  I've been dying to do a post of some of our favorite shots of Haydn and that's what Part 2 will be about so keep checking back in!

Enjoy!

We're heading East folks! and we can't tell you how excited we are.  I wish we could say it's for a wedding but its not, its simply a chance to get away while we could.  Actually, it was Lauren's Daddy's day gift for me because she says I'm always talking about "getting away".

When we get back we'll be blowing up the blog with a wedding, family shoot, some portfolio work and of course, images from our trip so keep an eye out next week...but we also have some exciting news to share!! All coming soon enough!

We'll leave you guys with a few images we snapped during our last trip to NY back in 2007...have a great 4th of July everyone!!

That's right VIDEO! =)  Loyd (Red 5 Studios)asked me if I'd like to help him shoot a wedding in Vegas and of course w/o hesitation I accepted =)  The only catch was instead of shooting photos, I'd be shooting video with our new 5d Mark II's which as you know capture both stills as well as 1080p quality videos. We definitely had a good time this past weekend (work and play) and with that I wanted to also share some of this weekends "firsts" (let us know if you can relate!)... first...time we've got to shoot video for a wedding... first...time we stayed at Lake Las Vegas (this place rocked!) first...time Haydn sat in her car seat for longer than 2 hours! (can't tell you how worried we were about this one!!) first...time Haydn wore her first bathing suit, which btw, Lauren bought even before she was born =))...which also means it was the first...time Haydn got in the kiddie pool =) and last but not least... first...time I drank a Red Bull and actually enjoyed it.  Of course, just my luck...this was before I hear Red Bull has traces of cocaine in it. Go Figure... Now for the video...for those of you NBA fans, you'll definitely enjoy this one =)  Thanks again Loyd!  We had a blast and can't wait to help you shoot the next one! =) Congratulations Bern+John!! =)

Last week was a bit of a bummer for me because I was sick pretty much the whole week and being sick = time away from my two favorite girls in the world.  Thankfully, as the weekend rolled around so did my sickly feelings...kind of =) This past weekend also marked an important time for us because we finally took the plunge and upgraded to the new Canon 5d Mark II camera bodies.  We can't tell you how excited we are! Not only is the camera full frame, it shoots 1080p video too!  How awesome is that?!  What better tool to carry around when out with the family than this?!  Here's what it looks like...yeah, nothing fancy... Naturally we HAVE to test the camera so the next day we saw a cool little spot right by church and with a little help from a small model ;) we snapped some quick ones =)  Our little Haydn is getting so big!

Here's Lauren showing Haydn some flowers... and of course, like any baby, she reached down and tried to eat them... This one we got a kick out of...hahahah we seriously couldn't stop laughing as she stood next to this tree!  Are we mean or what?! haha Last but not least...her famous gold sandals!!  You can thank Lauren for that one!

For more pics and updates on our little Haydn, check out her blogspot...yes, she has her own blogspot. =)

Check back soon as we'll be posting our latest weddings!  We can't wait to show you guys!
