I’m so blessed with great friends in the photography industry and every once in awhile we get together to combine our awesomeness in fellowship. This time we met at the awesome Studio of Vince Jubilio (fashion photographer in SF) up near the Mission District in San Francisco. The photographers who joined were Sam Hassas, Stephanie Baker, Ed Pingol, Maurice Ramirez, Daniel Craig, Caroline Winata, Cathy Bresow, Evan Baines, Patrick O’Connor, Chris Cooke and Bryan Stapleton.
The goal of this meet-up was for each photographer to get on the other side of the camera. It was so eye opening and it really helped open my understanding as to how my clients feel when they’re on the other side of my camera. I think we all walked away with a better understanding of what it feels like to be “shot.” Here are a few of the photographs I made. Enjoy.

Eden is my joy, she is what I live for every day, the essence of my existence. She has such life and spunk. There are definitely moments that she can push you to the edge of sanity, but for the most part you have to ask God in your prayers if she is really an angel that he loaned to us. Cherish your time with your kids, they grow up too fast and not enough families really spend the time they need with each other. Enjoy.

I recently stumbled upon this blog from a friend who is on a professional wedding photographer’s forum and I thought I’d share it with everyone. Although it offers a pretty comical, satirical look at the industry, it is really educational and I think will help a lot of brides. There are a lot of misconceptions about wedding photography/photographers and I think this blog will help with some understanding. After all, most people only get married once so make your decisions wisely!
