I Heart North Carolina.....
Loving it here so far! Had a nice day full of walking on trails and visited this sweet raptor center. Had a great thanksgiving dinner last night with my brother and his wife and a bunch of their cool friends. My brother made such a DELICIOUS dinner! Pictures from thanks giving and the raptor center coming soon! In the mean time.........like i said before went to the North Carolina Raptor Center and met this amazing creature.........

Rockin Thanksgiving North Carolina Style!!!
Ok so its been forever now since ive posted but here i am still alive, Jen and I are in North Carolina visiting my brother Danny and his wife Marcy. We havent done Thanksgiving yet, were actually doing that tomorrow after church with a bunch of Danny's friends. Its been a lot of fun catching up with Danny and seeing some of the area close to his house.........HOLY COW!!! This place is freaking awesome!! So many lakes and trees and cool looking parks!! Unfortunately we missed the peak of the fall colors and are here at the tail end of it but there still some leaves here and there that provide some nice color. It seriously amazes me how once you leave California everything seems to really gea

Shauna the Magnificent.......coming soon

The Amazing Makenna.......
How incredible was this shoot?!?! On a scale of 1-10 it was about a billion+1! Seriously Makenna? A-MA-ZING! She seriously did soooo incredibly well. Super relaxed, laid back, very natural in front of the camera. She made my job so incredibly easy for me and it allowed me to do my job in a much more relaxed state of mind. Not only that but putting up with me and my weird ideas is always a challenge im sure, but she did very well. As you will see, yes these were shot at the Bonsall Bridge. While im not a big fan of using a location more than like 4-5 times (i get really bored really quickly) i was still up to the challenge of trying to pull something new from the location. So i played around

Back in the water....
Well i went to the beach yesterday afternoon to take some sunset photos......but this time from the water! Shooting in the water is a whole different animal and so many different variables to take into account int a matter of seconds it get pretty hectic. All in all it was very enjoyable and i got to take a nice little sunset swim with my lovely wife once i was done. Im not a big fan of this set of photos but i post them anyway so those of you out there that are discouraged with your photography can see that even those of us who do it for a living have crappy days. Will i try again? You better believe that i will!! You cant just give up you have to keep trying until it becomes second nature
