TRAIN WRECK

Jessica Quintal as Creative Director developed the concept, wardrobe and did the hair and make-up styling for this new photoshoot called TRAIN WRECK. "I like how it looks like it came out of a comic book. I wanted to go for some really bold color. I love the impact of high fashion so I had a blast shooting this...The models did a great job...you girls look fierce!"

Jen & Brett Engagement

Jen and Brett are just too cute for words...hence the photos : ) We hung out in San Francisco at Baker Beach. It was a beautiful day, however it was a bit chilly. Jen and Brett were great sports and we had a fun time creating images that reflect their love for each other. We can't wait for their wedding in July!

So bring your camera, 1 -2 images to share for critique with the group and your imagination!

How to "see" an image...

It's really amazing when two people can be standing side by side and see two different things. This happened recently when Jessica was photographing and I was standing next to her. I was watching what she was doing but I had no idea of the amazing image she captured until she showed me the camera...it was crazy. So this got me thinking...what allows one to "see" an image that others overlook. I concluded the answer was stated best by Buddha: "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." - Anna

Such a cute couple!

This couple was so much fun to hang out with and take their engagement photos. They laughed so much, are so full of energy...it was awesome! We walked all around downtown Livermore, checked out a train on the tracks, the new movie theater and explored the glamourous parking garage. We can't wait for their wedding! See image below...
