Snap

One of the things that I enjoy most about photography is looking through the photos and finding gems (in my eyes) where the subject is not prepared for a photo, yet looks as if it was all meant to be. I think it is what makes a photo beautiful. The naturalness of it. It sure is one of the challenges I do love, to be ready to snap a photo when I am not ready. If that makes any sense at all.

Oak Creek Vintage
San Jose CA

On location of a photoshoot with Elissa and Super Street at Oak Creek Vintage in San Jose. This vintage boutique had a ton of dope stuff from clothing to furniture, home decor, accessories galore. Definitely worth the stop when you're in San Jose.
 
Elissa is featured on the latest Super Street Magazine which is now on stands so be sure to cop if you're a car enthusiast, Elissa Alva lover or just because that's what cool people do.

A Love Like This
Sacramento CA

There really is no excuse for why I haven't done much work with my fiance recently. I think part of it goes to my motivation just kind of fell flat and I wasn't really inspired to do much but sit around. I really am grateful to have this woman in my life. She forced me to get off my ass off of XBOX with a knife to my throat and demanded that we did a photo shoot together. I really had no choice! (Joking) But she did encourage me to pick up my camera and I am glad I did cause there really isn't anything like the photos we make. Her as a beautiful subject, me as a tool, we are a stupendous team.

Whenever I take photos of Elissa, I always try and capture the moment. I try my best to give her little to no time at all in getting ready for a photo.. I tend to just look at her and say, "Hold on. Don't move" and run to grab my camera and run back. Little does she know, I think she is most beautiful when she is comfortable.

Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe
June 2013

Elissa took me on my first hike on Father's day. I am not much of a walker but when there are plenty opportunities for photos then I am all for it. I never knew how beautiful Tahoe was. The trees are just greener, the water is just bluer, the air was just fresher. None of the all pollution and industrialization, this place was just awesome to getaway to. Definitely will not be the last time I go hiking. 

Thank you Elissa for taking me!
