A new venture...

Late last year I was asked to shoot a magazine launch party in Orange County. Long story short, it turned out to be a charity event I was covering for the magazine. Red carpet, celebrities, expensive cars, the whole kit and kaboodle. During the event I met an amazing photographer (and person), Carla Rhea. You can view her work at www.iwanabnpix.com

Since that night we have kept in touch and have worked together on several occasions. Carla is a true professional in our field. She has an extensive portfolio of event photography, celebrities, and children's head shots for acting and print work.

Due to an increase in business and a need to bring these different genres of photography together, she has created " The Foto Agency" (www.TheFotoAgency.com). As of today I am proud to share with you that I will be a fundamental part of this amazing organization.

So please take a moment and take a look at our website and keep us in mind for all your photography needs.

So we have Troy to blame...

It was at a friendly get together in their home state of Colorado when a mutual friend, Troy, introduced USMC Corporal Austin McClure to Destiny. Austin was in Colorado on leave from his duties with the Marine Corp at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside CA. Destiny, a nursing student, said they had such great chemistry right from the start, and as they say, the rest is history!

Destiny recalls the day they got engaged. It was Fathers Day 2010 and Destiny was in the process of putting away the laundry. Austin surprised her with a dozen roses, and right in the middle of that bouquet was a ring. On bended knee he popped the question and she said "yes!"

When they are not sitting around the TV watching the Superbowl and rooting for the Packers, they enjoy outdoor activities such as snowboarding, fishing, and hanging out at the beach.

Destiny and Austin have set aside November 27, 2011 for their wedding which will be held aboard Electra Cruise's the Athena. In the meantime, I invite you to view the images created during their engagement photo session. These two kids, excuse me, young adults, were a pleasure to work with and we had a great time on a sunny SoCal January afternoon.

By the way, which one is your favorite from the four below? I would love for you to leave a comment here and let me know!
