My New Round Business Cards

I wanted to share my new Logo and Business Card. I have not done new business cards for about 5 years now, so very long overdue. Amber with Amber Dawn Creations designed my new card and logo. I had no idea what to do and I am really happy with the outcome. I wanted a card that was unique and different. So we decided on a ROUND 3x3 card, and Amber did the rest. Yes, I am doing a round card. They square design will disappear once printed. Love the flower effect on the back using my images. I am super excited to have new cards and something very different and unique and also show a little of what I do.

Orange County Videographer

Wanted to share this wedding video with you. David Tosti comes highly recommended from me. He is one of my favorite photographers to shoot with, and he rocks the moving camera as well. If you are planning a wedding, go with him for video. Classy, fun, and tell a great story. We have worked together for years so we are a perfect match to work together. He does great work, and is fun and professional.

Orange County Baby Photographer

Everybody is having babies! I got back from Costa Rica and did 6 baby shoots in the following weeks. Better all you then me, I have already had my babies. I really urge all new parents to get their first baby portraits done within the first few weeks or the first month, then again at the 6 month mark or when they are sitting up, and again at about 10-12 months before the are walking. You will to regret budgeting this in your first year later in life. I treasure my new born pictures and within weeks and months it is all over. Don't procrastinate on your new baby pics. I have also had a lot of clients say, "No, I do not want a maternity shoot, I feel fat!" Then of course when the baby is here and their belly is gone they say, "Oh, I should have done pregnancy pictures!" Just a side note to do them anyway. If you want to do all the shoots recommended, myself or other photographers should be able to work with you on pricing doing 4 shoots in a year. It really is worth every penny!

Wedding Venues in California- Tip & Venue 2- Rancho Las Lomas

My January 2009 Rancho Las Lomas wedding was just featured in Januray 2010 issue of Ceremony magazine. This is my second favorite wedding venue in California. It is secluded and tucked away in beautiful Silverado Canyon, Orange County, California. The rest of my favorites are in Orange County mainly as that is where I shoot the most. I will post some venue pictures of this venue, but I have dedicated an entire gallery to it in my wedding galleries on my website. Please see wedding gallery, Sarah & Martino,  to see more of this venue. It has a Spanish feel to it. It is very classy but also rustic, eclectic, and unusual. There are 3 tigers on the premises, zebras, parrots throughout, and levels to the venue so it is spread out and the ceremony, cocktail, and reception are done on the different levels utilizing the entire venue. This venue is at a premium. I urge you to look into a daytime wedding here if budget is an issue. You can also do a wedding here in off season which is December-February, or a Friday or Sunday to negotiate costs. Don't skimp on your photographer at this venue! Florals were done by Lavenders Flowers in downtown Fullerton, Ca. DJ was Andy Nation with Just Imagine DJ. Video was done by Jason Daniel Productions. Had the pleasure of shooting with David Tosti a Laguna Beach based wedding photographer and my favorite 2nd shooter. His work can be found by searching Tosti Studios.
