The Kim Pena Project

A few months ago I got an unexpected email from a high school classmate who had heard through the grapevine that I was getting into photography. She is an aspiring professional model/dancer and offered to do a photo shoot to help build both of our portfolios.

She was in town this weekend and I had the opportunity to do a few sessions with her. It was nice to finally get out and take pictures...it had been a few weeks!

Kim was great to work with and as you can see by the pictures, I think she has a bright future ahead of her!

After The Storm

Here is a shot I got last weekend overlooking north-eastern Orange County. The sun was setting on the coast and lit up some rain showers on the back end of the storm as it moved inland. It had been pouring off-and-on for a few days and this was the tail end of the much needed rain.

Celestine Ezinkwo

This past weekend I had the privilege of doing a photo shoot with my friend Celestine Ezinkwo. You may remember seeing pictures of him from his performance at the AIA winter retreat a few weekends ago.

Celestine is an up and coming Christian Hip-Hop artist with his debut album coming out soon. He is still working on his website, but I will let you know when he gets it running.

We spent the afternoon up in LA where he lives. It was my first musician photo shoot as well as my first time shooting in an urban setting. Considering that, I am really excited with how the pictures came out! I had a blast taking pictures out there and it was a good learning experience.

On a side note, today is Celestine's birthday...you can count this post as my present :)

Here are some of my favorites...Enjoy!



This is Tara, Celestine's wife. They got married last year and are a great couple! She is on the album so I got some shots of her as well and since we were out there took some fun couple shots of them.
