Old LA Zoo

A few weeks ago I did a shoot with two of my good friends Adam and Marcus. We decided to go exploring around the Old LA Zoo in Griffith Park on a rainy day, hoping that most of the So Cal natives would be scared away by the wet weather.  Unfortunately, there were still quite a few groups shooting in the area, but we managed to secure a couple of spots and get in some shots.  I had a fantastic time with them, and am so grateful that they endured the rain.  Thanks fellas!

An executive portrait session I shot this week.

    

The High Sierra

This summer my family and I embarked on an epic backpacking trip through three of the High Sierra Camps in Yosemite.  We hiked 35 miles total, up and down between 7,150 and 10,750 feet, in three days. Though the distance, elevation, terrain, and pack weight proved to make it an extremely grueling task; being able to see parts of the park that the majority of visitors never do made it completely worth it. Below are a few of my favorite shots from the trip.

Joshua Tree

I took a day trip out to Joshua Tree National Park last weekend to take a break from life and do some shooting.  The afternoon light made for some interesting shots of the tress and various rock formations, but next time I definitely want to do a overnight trip to experiment with star circles and capture the sunrise. Enjoy!   

Sequoia and Kings Canyon

A few pics from a recent camping trip to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.  The bright sunlight was not ideal for shooting the trees, and the responsibilities that come along with camping made it impossible to get any sunrise/sunset shots, but I still managed to come back with a few that I like. Enjoy!
