    I am very happy for you! Lighting is 90% or the image! I conduct similar seminars in spanish here in Puerto Rico and I was a WPPI spanish platform speaker in 2009. Just one question… what soft box they use? I really like the soft of the shadows.

    I am just dying to attend their lighting workshop! These shots are just so gorgeous!

    I just purchased a large soft box to attempt similar lighting. I’ll have to try and figure it out because there isn’t going to be a workshop near me anytime soon!

Halloween Photo Booth

Halloween in my Fullerton neighborhood is a BIG deal. Hundreds of families go door-to-door asking for candy, showing off their costumes and being scared from the many haunted houses that adorn my street. Since this was the first Halloween in our new house, I wanted to introduce my photography business to the neighborhood. And rather…

    Setting up a photo booth on Halloween is a terrific idea! I hope you get a lot of business because of it… and it’s a wonderful gift to the families who participated. I also want to let you know that I think you did an outstanding job with the photo shoot for my family; Scott, Manpreet and of course, my grandson, Liam!! You are really talented. The photos are sooo special and gorgeous. Grandpa and Grammy Day had their heart’s melt while viewing the shots! Thank you for a magical and permanent reminder of a very special time in our lives.
