Platinum Planning Photo Shoot

Alan here! Amber Novey, an Artistic Imagery Bride and friend called me the other day because her event planning business, Platinum Planning ( www.platinumplanning.biz ) is being featured in Sac Bride and Groom Magazine and they needed her headshot for the article. So we spent about a half an hour downtown and chit-chatted about life, caught up on how her successful business is doing and how fast our son is growing up. Overall, the photo shoot went great and encountered some characters along the way. Here are the faves:

Jen & Erwin's After Session

(Ate) Jen and (Kuya) Erwin had their wedding back in June, but because we never had a chance to shoot their e-session, Alan and I spent yesterday afternoon shooting them at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. It's always fun shooting family!

Enjoy!






































I think this shot was the one Jen was most excited for... :)



Here's Alan doin' his thang. Nice white socks.

Jonathan's Photo Shoot

Alan here. One of my best friends from high school needed some pictures so who did he facebook? Me of course! We haven't seen each other since we graduated and only two things have changed, his head is now shaved and I got fat. I had fun catching up on old times and Jonathan - dude, you rocked the camera! Buying that Modeling for Dummies book at Barnes and Noble did come in handy...

Hogan Family Portrait

Last week, Amber and I shot a family portrait with Freda, Laura and Brooke Hogan at the State Capitol Park. Luckily, the sun came out that day although it was still a bit chilly! Here are our faves from the shoot...

Micaella's Birthday Video

Oops! I lied about having Master and John's wedding, my last video edit of the year. This one is! This is Micaella's 7th birthday bash held in southern ca. She had a Hanna Montana themed birthday party complete with face painters, and a really cool DJ. Special thanks to my socal Artistic Imagery crew (Carlo and Anabel) and Kimi Vinuya for the extra hand on the video and photography.

Master and John's Wedding Day Video at Wine and Roses

Here's a music video summary I just finished for Master and John's Wedding at Wine and Roses. Special thanks to the bridal party for being cooperative on lip synching to the song even though only 4 seconds were used. Hey, it made for great blooper reels for the dvd though! ENJOY THE CLIP, IT'S MY LAST EDIT OF THE YEAR....

Anabel's Bump

Happy Holidays, everyone! Alan, Michael and I are currently in Corona, visiting Alan's family. Alan's sister, Anabel, is pregnant with #2 (yay - a girl!), and wanted a family portrait to front the shower invitations. We don't normally shoot maternity sessions, but this was a quickie one with minimal nudity... so I let Alan do it. :)

We only really had one pose for this (we squeezed it into our day), so enjoy the lack of images...
