Wardrobe Wednesday

With the Valentine's Day just around the corner I thought it fitting to do a couple's Wardrobe Wednesday!

Whether it's an engagement shoot or just a great gift of professional portraiture this look screams sweet & sensual.  Two adjectives that go hand and hand with the day of love.  The looks works great even just for date night, coming in under $50 for the whole look!  Thanks ModCloth :) 

Men's look from J.Crew.

Enjoy!

Christmas in the Park

This was a great holiday shoot in downtown San Jose.  We walked around Christmas in the Park together.  Then when the sun went down headed into the Fairmont Hotel for some warmth and shots with the gingerbread house and life size chocolate nutcrackers!

I absolutely love how the gingerbread house is captured in the background of this portrait.  Really gives you the feeling of Christmas.

Nighttime Landscape

In honor of the amazing meteor we saw flying through the sky on Wednesday, the days growing shorter with Winters impending arrival and the assignment I received from the DPS newsletter I get weekly I took my camera out for an extended exposure last night. The sun hadn't set long before this shot, but it was windy, so the exposure was 25 sec at f2.8 with an iso of 25, but I loved the composition with the moon in the crosshairs of the power lines and the tail lights of the plane flying through the sky.  I hope you enjoy this little exercise as well!

Merry Christmas

Star Wars ANYTHING
