Fine Art Friday: Sunset {Los Angeles Photographer}

June 28, 2013 Posted in Fine Art,The Great Outdoors

It had been a while since I went down to the beach for a sunset, but after a sweet evening photo shoot in a park I noticed the sky was starting to give off this glow.   I can’t quite explain it, it’s just this feeling where the light changes and there’s an aura that portends a fantastic sunset is imminent.  Since I was already out with my camera, I headed straight for the beach, sending my hubbie a text that the sky was calling me to come photograph it.  Thankfully, even if he doesn’t always understand my crazy photography-related chases, he at least humors me.

I spent the next 20 minutes on the sand, viewing one of nature’s greatest shows, every few seconds a new and slightly different scene emerging.

Los Angeles sunset on the beach with a silhouetted life guard tower.

 

The only thing that would have made it better was if my husband had been there to enjoy it with me.  But, I’m thankful he took kiddo bed time duty so I could be there.

Fine Art Friday is a collabrative project with some fantastic photographers.  Be sure to check out what Keller, TX Photographer Sharon Gartrell has this month!

Corporate Head Shots {Los Angeles Photographer}

June 10, 2013 Posted in Adults,Head Shots,Portraits

I’ll confess, the term “corporate head shots” sounds pretty boring.  But this session was anything but that.  Yes, we did do a few of the more traditional business images, but we also mixed it up a bit with some more casual professional shots.  I think of it as “corporate with a twist”!  Enjoy!
