Elisa & Ezra - santa barbara, ca

elisa and ezra won an engagement session with us by attending the santa barbara bridal expo in
january. what a NICE couple...what a beautiful day. what i like about photographing couples like elisa & ezra is that they had a lot of fun and really brought me into their lives. they invited me to a very special place dear to their hearts. ezra proposed to elisa on this very beach, just outside of santa barbara, california. from the moment that i "stepped into the clear"...i was immediately inspired by such a picturesque location. i have never been to this beach and was grateful that they shared this one with me.

Boogie Nights

we donated our photography services to help celebrate and raise funds for a newly constructed elementary in the conejo valley. i met some real grooooooovey cats at the fundraiser and came away with some great stories and a constant ringing in my ears of “get down, boogie oogie oogie, get down...” too funny! anyway, I can't say enough about the parents and faculty at yerba buena. they have put together one heck of a community to help educate and nurture our children, today, tomorrow and for many, many years to come. so, it was a no brainier when they called asking us back for a second year to cover the event. like they always say..."it's for the kids!"

"You're FIRED!"

karen and i experienced "the donald" @ the learning annex real estate & wealth expo this past week-end. we met george foreman, anthony robbins, david bach and of course donald trump. by the time trump came on to speak there were approximately 10,000 people in the house. we love being inspired by all their stories. it really keeps us "juiced" to hear and see these amazing speakers. also, it is nice to be kickin' it with the beautiful wife with no kids. added bonus! not my best hair day. oh well, it's all good.
