Cocktails - Fresno Product Photographer

I was commissioned by Fresno Magazine to take a picture of this drink for the Barfly section of their publication.

I used only available light... but if I get an opportunity like this again, I think I'll bring some lighting options.  I'm not 100% pleased with the photos, better lighting would have helped.

You can find this drink at The Manhattan Steakhouse in Fresno, CA.  On the corner of Bullard and West

I'm anxious to see which shot the magazine chooses.

The Best of Fresno! - mock magazine photographer

I had a great time last night at The Best of Fresno event held at the Fresno Convention Center. Tons of food and drinks!

Starbucks was just a few steps from me, free coffee all night long. There were a few other talented photographers, that was fun to meet them. Roe gave away some amazing sushi, Cheesecake Factory was amazing, I finally scored one of those cool Stella glasses (thanks to my mom), I ate way too many chocolate covered strawberries, and on and on.

I had fun shooting mock magazine covers for Fresno Magazine. Tons of great people stopped by. Now, I have to get busy proofing photos, creating magazine covers, and then mailing them out!

In Black and White | Fresno Baby Photographer

I love this family!  (we are related)

I appreciate that they let me try some things that i've been wanting to try.  As with all newborn sessions, I brought some equipment (lighting, backdrop) to their house and I had a great time capturing some special moments with daddy and baby "W".

Here's a few of the gems.
