New Building Construction!

Earlier this month I had the unique opportunity of doing both my jobs - at the same time! I work full time in the office at Inland Lighthouse Church - and love it. Right now things are really exciting as we are in the process of building a new sanctuary. It is Phase I of the master plans which means, once we outgrow this new building, it will convert into a gymnasium and we'll build another sanctuary. I've been taking pictures along the way, but January 12th they tilted up several pieces of the concrete walls which was incredible. I took several hundred pictures, and even got up on the concrete pad! At one point I was about 20 feet away as they lifted a piece. (Talk about feeling small!) It was awesome, and I can't wait to see the rest of the walls go up sometime next month. To view more pictures of this project visit ILC's website.

My Own: SHOOTSAC

This was one of my very “Merry Christmas” presents!! (Thanks mom & dad!!!) I read about this lens bag on a blog I follow, J. Star Photography, and fell in love with it! I haven’t used it yet, but can’t wait! It’s perfect in that it’s made really well, you can buy different pretty covers, it forms to your body, and is also super practical to use! Thanks Shootsac, here’s one more happy customer. :)

So I had to include pictures of it…isn’t it beautiful?

The Garcia Family Session - 12.19.09

Here are a few pictures from the last Christmas session I did for 2009!
We had a great time at Prospect Park in Redlands - beautiful family.

To 2010:
Well, I have several ideas of what I'd like to acomplish this coming year. I'd really like to focus on a few things such as - blogging more... more as in more then just pictures. I'd also like to take a few college classes. Also, there is a group called SmugMug that I'd really like to get involved in to get more connected with other photographer's in the LA area. Another project I have in mind is work on getting a printed portfolio, and put a bunch of it on my home office walls, and also frame a print of my logo to hang above my desk. (I will have to take a pictures of that and "POST" it when it's finished.) :)

So, keep checking back! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Bekki Simpson - 11.21.09

Bekki and I have been friends for about.... I think it's over 7 years if I am figuring right! The first time we met was on her three week senior High School trip - which she chose to come to visit my family and tour some of Canada. (My sister and her had been "pen-pals" for a while.) Now many years later, I've moved down to southern California and Bekki and I live only about 10 minutes from each other!

We had a great time taking LOTS of pictures! We started downtown Redlands, then had lunch, did a wardrobe change, and headed for Redlands University. There were so many shots I liked, so I decided to post a bunch. :)
